Still better than a pork sausage stuffed pancake dripping with maple flavored corn syrup.
NYT, here’s the next ethnic trend you can investigate: “Asian food: It’s not just chicken balls anymore.”
I don’t know about you but I can’t muster the energy for cunnilingus until the coffee’s been in my system for a while. Teh browns seem to be on a sexual roll today.
Today, we are all sitting on the toilet for too long.
Snark aside, I love a good breakfast taco, and I welcome our Brown Overlords.
McDonalds also has these, but calls them breakfast “burritos” (English for “tacos”) and you can’t get them after 10:30AM. A real ‘murkin would know that.
“They want a taco, and they want breakfast. And a breakfast taco gets you both.”
Those crafty fuckin’ Mexicans – fulfilling All our lazyass dreams in one little package, all the while, fucking like rabbits in an attempt to overthrow our kingdom!! Crafty fucking Mexicans, indeed!
Ms. Apple’s TrendPiece, please.
Breakfast tacos, eaten by early-morning commuters and third-shift laborers, as well as rock ’n’ roll club kids, sound Mexican. Some ingredients, like refried beans and chorizo, taste Mexican. And Mexican-Americans own many of the restaurants that serve them.
Wow — this is the kind of hard-hitting, deeply analytical yet boots-on-the-ground reporting that made America great and that you just don’t see anymore. I can’t wait until NYT rising star John T. Edge breaks the whole breakfast Vindaloo scene wide open.
There’s virtually nothing I can say about this that the bottom half of this comic can’t say better:

Damn, I just had my first breakfast taco in the last century, and the NYT have already discovered them; they catch on fast.
“This series of articles explores American cuisine and its ongoing evolution.”
So … when do we get that piece on how hobo beans are the new trend in Real America?
[re=528061]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Don’t mock breakfast vindaloo – it is how I get through the day.
Succeeds in making Austin seem like the most backwards place in America. Doesn’t this writer know that the tacos all the cool kids are eating are KOREAN?
I’m all for it as long as I can have a breakfast beer with my McTaco. A good beer, not that Lite crap.
[re=528061]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
Holy jeebus. A definite two day pick me up (including next day’s ring of fire dump.)
albuquerque during the balloon fiesta. best breakfast ever (especially considering you get it from a street vendor while waiting to park).
that is all.
It’s just Huevos Rancheros all mixed up on a tortilla, fer crissakes. I’ve been aware of that food combo for at least the last 30 years. We’re not delving into Escoffier levels of gastronomy here.
I like to begin each morning with a big bowl of ¡Cheeriolés!®
I imagine each soggy “O” to be an illegal’s innertube, and swallow each spicy spoonful with patriotic pride.
[re=528068]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Hey, it sounds better than my traditional breakfast of a cup of coffee, several allergy pills, and whatever else looks appetizing in my fridge at nine in the morning. In other words, a cup of coffee and several allergy pills.
That does explain the crowd at Tamale House this morning.
I think the real story here is that some bozo from the New York Times stumbled into a McDonalds before 10:30 AM. Usually they don’t recover from their Meth and Roofie cocktails until well after Noon.
Don’t let them hear that they serve Fish Tacos for lunch and dinner in San Diego! That will be a full week of stories.
Meh. Doesn’t rank with the smashed-up donut I can peel off my boyfriend’s back every morning after we’ve awakened in our shared squalor.
The reporter wanted a voucher so he could go to Austin before SXSW and sit on S Congress and check out us young nubiles before the crowds made it impossible.
Some county fair grease jockey will figure out a way to put it on a stick and deep-fry it. Mark my words.
[re=528075]Joshua Norton[/re]: No kidding. I remember noshing on those (in Austin, surprise) back in the early 80s. But you know the Times… always ahead of the curve with regard to foodie “trends.”
[re=528095]Joshua Norton[/re]: Those would be known as breakfast flautas, on a stick. My mom made those for Super Bowl parties, in Kansas.
[re=528077]Extemporanus[/re]: WOW! I just Googled “¡Cheeriolés!” and you are the ONLY entry!! First time in my life I’ve ever seen that. You’re the Tomas Edison of etymology. ¡Olé!
[re=528068]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: [re=528079]SayItWithWookies[/re]: For shame, you two. Y’all should know that two cups of coffee and a Percocet is the Breakfast of Champions!
Best thing about living in Austin=breakfast tacos, anytime. Also, migas (scrambled eggs with bits of fried tortillas). Even better, a migas breakfast taco. This is definitely an american concoction, I’m certain no actual Mexican would tolerate such a meta construct.
[re=528121]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: I know, I’ve really been slacking on the “constantly intoxicated” front. All of Ken’s bitching and whining about fat Americans has had an effect on me: I’ll either stop being fat, or stop being American. Probs the latter.
The best ones are served daily from illegal Taco Trucks with illegal cooks in the cramped kitchens.
Is there video? Without video, I refuse to believe it.
Holy frijoles, I’ve been doing this for years. Well, it’s really just putting last night’s leftovers into a tortilla and nuking it for 30 seconds, but still. I am proud that the NYT is finally acknowledging culinary Messicans like me.
Tamale House gave me the shits once. I took the Capital Metro home with my butt cheeks clamped together like I was in the Congressional shower gym.
wait ..did I say that outloud? fuck
[re=528221]El Pinche[/re]: only once? amateur.
Ugh. Food. For breakfast? WTF?
No doubt they pay for these “tacos” with their illegal Social Security benefits.
[re=528221]El Pinche[/re]: Obviously there wasn’t enough cheese involved. Load up with some real Wisconsin pasteurized (not that boob-milk cheese the intertoobs are ‘eeewwwwwing’ about) on your next foray. That goop’ll have you bound up tighter than a teenage concubines tootsies in no time at all. No leakage for 36 hours, guaranteed.
God damn, everyone’s whining like a pussy about how breakfast tacos give them diarrhea. Breakfast is supposed to give you diarrhea!
