Not a fan of tacos at all, but I'll save them for someone who is.
I'll probably give them to an immigrant or homeless person just to make it that little sweeter.

Not a fan of tacos at all
Do you live in a place with terrible Mexican food?
I live in a place with basically NO Mexican food.
ETA: I'm pretty much not familiar with Mexican cuisine.

If you can call that living.
Sounds a lot like Canada, where most people’s exposure to “Mexican food” is Taco Bell. Welcome to the club.
My distaste for Tacos comes down to the fact I don’t like crunchy foods that shatter, and especially so when they run the risk of being messy. I mean, I can handle a gooey messy burger just fine, but that’s because it doesn’t shatter when I bite into it. Tacos hit both those pain points. Give me Arroz con Pollo any day, I absolutely love it. And yes, the only place I can get this is from Rancho Chico south of the border in Washington state.
Which means it’s a no-go until America overthrows the current authoritarian ChristoFascist administration. Because they won’t allow themselves to be legitimately voted out of power. Soooo… possibly a decade or more until I can eat there again, assuming America doesn’t invade Canada in the meantime.
The funny thing is, hard shells aren't authentic. That's an American thing. Soft tortillas are authentic, maybe cooked just a little on the stove.
I agree, hard tacos are a mess. I don't understand why they exist. The texture is fine, but it'd be better as something in the taco, not as the container.
You can make tacos at home too by the way. They're a very simple food, and you just use whatever protein you want and whatever additions you feel like. It's like a sandwich. You can't go wrong. You just use what you have/want.
Kind of depends on where you are in Canada. If you’re in the middle or out east, shit is pretty bleak. Being closer to California (aka, former Mexican territory) helps a lot.
Further you get from Mexico, the harder it is to find the right ingredients and people who know what decent Mexican food tastes like.

I went to a Mexican restaurant in Terra Haute once.
They used Ragu as enchilada sauce.
This has killed my spirit a little.

I don't think that anyone can just not like tacos at all, because they aren't just one thing. It's like a sandwich with bread, then whatever you want to put in it; beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fish, or whatever protein you want and spices/vegitables/toppings. Maybe you don't like Taco Bell, but there's tacos out there you'd love.
For sure. I explained in another comment that I have very little exposure to Mexican. I don't dislike it I just don't love it, because I barely know it.
That's fair. It's pretty easy to do at home if you want to try it. You may need to mix your spices yourself if you can't find a spice mix, but I'm sure all the spices are available that you'd need. Just get some tortillas (soft, not hard), ground beef or chicken (or whatever else), tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and you'll be good to go. Maybe look it up online to find inspiration for what to add/what spices you need.
I'll have a look sometime, thanks.
I'm severely intolerant to onions, but I'd still save the taco. I hate wasting food, there's always the possibility of making somebody else happy with it.
I'm pretty intolerant too but that doesn't change the fact that they're fucking delicious

Sadly, I could only muster the courage and strength to save one out of three tacos, your honor.
I hate cilantro...
Tap for spoiler
I pick the tacos
Do I have to act immediately? Pausing for a bit would put some nice color on those tacos.

I save JD (couchfucker) Vance so I can beat him to death with my bare hands.

Well the tacoes are already in my hands because I was the one stating the fire when I saw who was in the room and I wanted some snacks while watching it burn down.
Cilantro and dead animal? Gross. I’ll take that tho.
Tacos are the GOAT, and reason enough, on their own, to justify immigration in the US.
I would grab and shake JD violently to get his attention, then ask him to listen very carefully is there any tzatziki sauce ?
Ensure the other 3 are dead before leaving and save the burrito.
As much as I'd like to save the tacos, my hands would be too busy holding the doors closed keeping all 5 of use inside.

Only one taco? Not fair.
There'd have to be an incredible person on that list for me to not save tacos for the world.
