$15 for the most underwhelming plate of tacos a human can conjure up
Posted by Able_Engineering_545@reddit | shittyfoodporn | View on Reddit | 138 comments
IDGAF if this doesn’t fit the sub, if you had to hand over the cash I did to receive this plate you would put this post at the top of the sub for every newcomer to see. These hunks of malaise tasted like the scientific pinnacle of what a bad taco is. If you contracted the world’s brightest culinary minds to put together an exceptionally “meh” taco, they wouldn’t scratch the surface of the pool of despair that was this to-go box. The tortillas: dry, flavorless, cold. The meat: deceptive, not juicy, no flavor, Midwest taco night chicken breast has more flavor than this. The beans: literally just a strained can of Busch’s I mean wtf. The salsa: closer to a marinara sauce than salsa.
If I paid anything less for this I wouldn’t have posted here. But for $15 someone, anyone, must hear my outrage.

I personally hate those beans
U_Bet_Im_Interested@reddit
Hard disagree. Black beans fuckin' rip!
Sue_Law_1984@reddit
Not those sad-ass, I can taste the can-from here beans.
Existing-Antelope-20@reddit
I will drink the bean water please give it to me
Xfuck1tX@reddit
Existing-Antelope-20@reddit
dude when the black bean water starts to soak into the tortilla on a quesadilla with some canned black beans that aren't strained
AAAAAAAAA ITS SO GOOD
Xfuck1tX@reddit
Dub_stebbz@reddit
I agree that black beans rip. I do NOT agree these these particular black beans rip
Sue_Law_1984@reddit
Why the fuck are they even here!?
JoeyBlak@reddit
That plate looks sooooo sad! I feel your pain. Paying good money for something that could have been hapazardly put together at home and, in all likelyhood, would look more appetizing.
tirutz@reddit
Looks fantastic... totally worth it...
HighlightUpstairs777@reddit
Please name this place so I can stay far away from it
Aceoflace09@reddit
Nah i thought the meat was shredded cheese until i zoomed in
Naroef@reddit
Crazy. That's like $1 of ingredients.
HistoricalMoose6363@reddit
Where did you buy those? The meat looks like saw dust
U_Bet_Im_Interested@reddit
.....I thought that was cheese. Lol
Naroef@reddit
I thought it was rice at first
tanya6k@reddit
So did i
LauraLand27@reddit
You mean it isn’t?
tanya6k@reddit
My husband seems to think it's some kind of shredded meat.
HistoricalMoose6363@reddit
It’s shredded chicken
thepioushedonist@reddit
Holy hell, I had to double back and zoom all the way in before I realized it wasn't cheese.
starks4thr33@reddit
Same. Dry as fuck meat. They no like-a the juice!
thepioushedonist@reddit
I like jerky and I like tacos. I've never thought to combine the two. It seems that is the right call.
wesk74@reddit
You must have never had machaca then
thepioushedonist@reddit
Had to look that up, but I suppose I have had meat like that before. But it was vastly better rehydrated than what OP is showing lol
wesk74@reddit
Machaca is amazing actually,
TrainAffectionate212@reddit
I think that is the Aldi's shredded chicken that comes in a plastic container. I got it once to make quesadillas and got a huge piece of cartilage or something in it. Haven't got it since. But the color and texture looks the same to me
Electronic_House2272@reddit
i didn't notice the meat until you pointed it out 😭
VegasRoy@reddit
Saw dust has more moisture then whatever that is
Gooners_For_Ukraine@reddit
Sounds like stadium fair
Glad-Veterinarian365@reddit
It’s “oops all cellulose” Taco Bell
ky_sk8s@reddit
I only glanced at it for a second and thought at first it was supposed to be some strawberry shortcake taco with some like chocolate chips on the side
mrpopenfresh@reddit
Bean straight from a can
AverageInfamous7050@reddit
Yeah, that's a rip. 3 orders like that ain't worth $15.
ruinedmention@reddit
I would buy for 3 orders
roy_rogers_photos@reddit
Seeing bad mexican food is always sad, but cold fucking tortillas send me every time! Like, fuck. You can microwave them and up the experice 10 fold.
AverageInfamous7050@reddit
Yeah, this is worse than free Red Cross disaster relief food.
TheGrandExquisitor@reddit
Some white dude with a fancy mustache and tattoos sold this to you, didn't they?
smewthies@reddit
Yeah looks like it's from Condado Tacos
SpaceousKiki@reddit
Holy fuck I thought I’ve seen it all. My friends dad owns a food truck; 3 tacos for 8$, 4 for 10$, loaded up and filled with whatever meat you want. This is in one of the more expensive states to live in btw so whoever the fuck in their right mind thought this was worth 15$ needs to be executed.
Sargash@reddit
This shit would drive a man to break sobriety
DavidLynchsCoffeeBea@reddit
Xfuck1tX@reddit
i_adler@reddit
Which is ironic because the tacos themselves are dry.
Little_Spicy-68@reddit
it looks like prison food
Sargash@reddit
Nah. Prison food enjoyer here, this aint it. Maybe if the chef was deciding that today was his last day
Baron-Von-Mothman@reddit
You got them tacos from white people didn't you😂
cheetos-and-coffee@reddit
its lookin like taco tuesday at a white mom's house far away from the border .. sans the fun crunchy taco shell too
UnhappyBrief6227@reddit
The picture made me shake my head. I can only imagine the taste. Smh
azul360@reddit
That is the most white people taco night I've ever seen XD
Mr_Diesel13@reddit
A bad taco is still a taco.
I’m still gonna eat it.
sogone_@reddit
No cheese 😡
suarezj9@reddit
One time my job had a fundraiser and they sold these god awful tacos with the hardest rice ever for 15 bucks a plate. The money was being raised for an employee with cancer so I felt bad complaining but man
hennsippin@reddit
Sounds like a social experiment
neep_pie@reddit
Atrocious. I’d be disappointed if I made these at home.
hennsippin@reddit
I’d be embarrassed to serve this shit!
meratherbebikin@reddit
Not even any cilantro or cheese
Inevitable-Isopod185@reddit
The beans look like they were dumped straight from the can. Yikes
Drucifur88@reddit
This looks like some "tacos" I was served at an inpatient SUD place last year...I wish I could post a picture on here. Mine was paid for by insurance tho 😂
Boon1Goon@reddit
Nah, I’d return it, tell them about themselves while showing it then toss it somewhere where they’d have to clean it up. Only then would the $15 feel fulfilled.
jadbronson@reddit
Damn bro they're just trying to make a living. Unless they're cops.
Boon1Goon@reddit
Then do better, for real. I get it. Even if you’re making minimum wage, if someone is paying that much for a basic ass plate like two tacos and beans, at least make it look aight.
jadbronson@reddit
Well don't act out and go looking like a crazy person getting ready to go on a rampage. You'll get more flies with honey than vinegar. Be nice about it. No need to be ugly to get your point across.
Boon1Goon@reddit
I’m not here to cater to your feelings.
OuterWildsVentures@reddit
This reminds me of when I bought Danny Trejo's Tacos at a concert for around the same price and they were so god damn tiny. Still mad about that Mr. Trejo!
MrFivePercent@reddit
Post this on all the review platforms to kill their business. This is horribly lazy and overpriced.
Any-Hippo653@reddit
I'd be unhappy with this for $1, yet alone for $15 😬
cerareece@reddit
seriously my local place has a plate like this with 3 actually decent tacos with toppings, refried beans, rice and pickled carrots on the side and I think it's like 12 at the most. this is obscene
Any-Hippo653@reddit
There is a taco truck nearby where I live, they sell really good tacos, not the best you've ever had, but very solid choice and they are $1.99 per taco. And they look 10000% better than this.
agoia@reddit
If I got this for free I'd be mildly offended.
Potential_Candle_441@reddit
cabo169@reddit
Wyt ppl tacos?
vicvonqueso@reddit
Nah white people tacos are better than this monstrosity. This is like someone who's never cooked decided to start selling tacos
Dick_Bachman@reddit
How does it feel like getting robbed?
tapespeedselector@reddit
Probably ketchup in that sauce cup
Moist_Requirements_@reddit
These are not Hispanic. 😐
Pickle_boy@reddit
I’d go back to them and demand a refund. That’s not acceptable

cardueline@reddit
Jesus Christ, those tortillas have never been warm in their poor little lives :(
neep_pie@reddit
That's one of the most serious crimes here, which in particular shows whoever made this has no idea what they're doing. Not grilled, not steamed... not even microwaved. Basically 1/3 raw.
bignuts3000@reddit
Could be on US warship in the Strait of Hummus…..
matthewamerica@reddit
These tacos are a war crime against food. The person who did this needs to stand trial.
ulnek@reddit
Why did you?
Celos@reddit
I think I finally found a customer of one of those facebook "$X plates" posts.
friedpickle_reloaded@reddit
These aren't tacos, these are tack-oss. All it needs is some glockymolo.
tv996509@reddit
I’m angry for you. I need to know about where this came from tho. A food truck ran by white children? A fake restaurant found on ubereats? A school/prison lunch? Like I need context
dorkmopolis@reddit
This is absolutely abhorrent, especially as someone from California. The weakest tacos I can think of (storefront, about 7 bucks a piece) don’t even compare to these. It’s like they forgot to turn on the stove. I’m so heated right now ugh
JokerPhantom_thief1@reddit
That is the most British looking taco I ever seen looks flavorless and bland
AccomplishedAside314@reddit
Wow...And the side of beans looking like they're straight out of a can.
JackalThePowerful@reddit
I think McDonalds could conjure a better taco. I’m so sorry that you’ve been dealt this offense.
Zizhou@reddit
The Jack in the Box tacos are arguably more palatable looking than OP's takeout, and you should never be eating those before 11pm and in any form of sobriety.
Zizhou@reddit
Oh, don't worry, this definitely fits here. I can feel my mouth drying up just looking at it.
davesnother3@reddit
Call the police
LarenCoe@reddit
Wow. Sad.
agoia@reddit
Sorry for your loss, OP. Definitely shitty.
mcspecialkk@reddit
Oof
Sue_Law_1984@reddit
From a hospital cafeteria? No..I think they would top by a lot. Don't even get me started on the fuckin beans. You belong here. Your outrage- valid AF.
Crowns18@reddit
I'd throw that whole tray at whoever gave it to me lol
bluizzo@reddit
That's not Mexican tacos. I sorry OP for this abomination
Skysky141@reddit
Woah
KirbyJash@reddit
I have an extreme amount of anxiety and am not at all confrontational, but I think that would even make me cause a scene.

I had to go back and look with the chicken comment, did not see it at first

Those are the whitest tacos I have ever seen in my life.

They put more money into the take out container than what's inside the take out container.

But they make fun of us for white people taco night. At least that shits seasoned and tasty

My workplace has tacos like this for student events. When the price is free it’s acceptable. I just learn to bring a jar of salsa.

Fuck everything looks so cold and undercooked

I’d be pissed

Used to be $3 at Taco Bell. LOL

Same price as villas tacos literally on the bib gourmand michelin list...price might have gone up but it was $15 for a long time.
