Tacos are sandwiches
Indiana judge rules tacos and burritos are, in fact, sandwiches
The ruling stemmed from a legal battle between a developer with plans to open a Mexican restaurant and a local zoning commission. By Gerardo Pons, NBC Washington Are tacos and burritos sandwiches? A judge in Indiana thinks so. The ruling stems from a legal battle that started in 2022, when Martin Quintana, a developer, unveiled plans to open his restaurant, “The Famous Taco Mexican Grill,” on a strip mall in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Planning Commission rejected his bid to open the eatery, citing a written commitment that Quintana had accepted. According to the agreement with a local condo association, only alcohol-free restaurants that did not allow outdoor seating and only sold “made-to-order or subway-style sandwiches” were allowed to open at the location. The agreement was put in place to keep some national fast-food chains from opening at the strip mall, according to court documents obtained by NBC affiliate WPTA.But after over two years of legal battles, Judge Craig Bobay from the Allen County Superior Court ruled Quintana’s original plans would be permissible based on the original commitment. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...ent=newsletter Last edited by HemiEd; 05-17-2024 at 06:52 AM.. |

Can't be.
I can quit eating sandwiches after just one. I can't quit eating tacos at all. |

In fact, my significant experience with true south of the border Mexican people is that they scoff at our crispy tacos and the way we make them. That being said, La Tiera crispy taco shells are the best IMO. We even made fish tacos recently with them using Salmon, delicious. |

It's easy to say now, but wait until a copper smelting factory buys the property next door to you.

While I'm not sure that a taco is really a sandwich, I like the concept of keeping national fast food chains out of your neighborhood. Those places are destroying American small independent restaurants.

We have eliminated all but Freddy's from places to eat out when it comes to fast food. Their California burger is a pretty good improvement over the In-N-Out Double/Double, my all time favorite. Like just about everything else, the fast food prices no longer represent a good value. I just take a protein shake or protein bar with me to avoid them. |

I'd like to be sandwiched between a couple tacos.

I still can't get over the phrase "subway style sandwiches". Like, so you mean kinda bad? Or is it that they have to be penis shaped or it doesn't count? Did the person writing that not know the word hoagie existed? It must be hell living in these condos.

This thread needed a poll, but I also gotta say... If a taco is a sandwich, then the word "sandwich" is meaningless.

When I was a kid we called them submarine sandwiches. This was long before Subway even existed.

Had to google the differences between a Hogie and a Sub.
Though their names are often interchangeable, there actually is a bit of a difference between a hoagie and a sub. A hoagie uses a harder bread and is usually served cold whereas a sub uses a softer one and can be served toasted or cold. A sub’s bread is also fully cut through and a hoagie’s bread is only split. The main difference you’ll find, though, is the contents inside! Since a hoagie comes from an Italian origin, the contents of this sandwich usually consist of Italian meats and cheeses. On the other hand, subs are normally served with whatever ingredients your heart desires.
