Gee it's really interesting how the supposed academic historians love to talk about the origins of tacos going well before the Spanish even arrived and trust me I don't doubt what would be called a tostada was around back then. But the fact of the matter is just simply look at the last couple hundred years of Mexican culinary history there is nothing ever that looks like a taco (as opposed to a flat tortilla tostada) until the Lebanese arrived and introduced the concept of shawarma with their pita wrappings only then is the tortilla even ever going past being flat as with a tostada and instead being curved or wrapping the ingredients. The predecessors to the taco so similar to what we would call a tostado existed but what we call a taco did not until the Lebanese arrived with Shawarma on thier minds.

! USE A METAL GLOVE! I've watched hundred's of videos and pretty much never comment, BUT. the guy grabbing meat out of the slicer free hand! It's all good till disaster. That is 100% against what the manual says and he could easily get permanently maimed. The proper procedure is so incredibly easy this is upsetting. Any good leader that saw this would react differently than -Yeah it looks great throw that on youtube- Protect your staff and take some responsibility for their well being, you are the authority figure in this scenario. This looked fascinating, but 45 sec in and I'm done. I bet it's enlightening on tacos, but peace GL

The best and original trompo tacos are not from the north, they are from Mexico City and are called tacos de pastor not adobada. Meat shouldn't be placed on the grill after being cut, it should be cut and go directly to the tortilla, also that crispy part he says is good, isn't. The meat should be evenly cooked.

False, the best tacos are not from Tijuana. The best tacos depend of the type of taco. But that kind of tacos are from Mexico City, period. Tijuana was a city of migrants, so tacos are not from there. so can't be the best tacos. Even the adobo looks f. ing simple. where are the onions for the adobo.

These are authentic -Tacos al Pastor-, you have to see the taco guy shaving meat off a trompo or -ball- as some cooks call it. If all they-re doing is just cooking seasoned steak meat on a griddle plate then those are just tacos de adobada, not tacos al pastor. Big, big difference in taste!

He-s right Tijuana has THE BEST tacos in the world! I-ve been there and I have try tacos from all all over and they are by far the best. Especially the fish tacos which by the way they were created in TIjuana.
