- We asked Mexican dads to try 'white people tacos!' 🌮
'White people tacos' are loved by many, but what do our Mexican dads think of the non-traditional take on the classic Mexican dish?
They tried Doritos Nacho Cheese walking tacos and hard shelled tacos filled with Old El Paso seasoned ground beef topped with mild Ortega taco sauce!

Black folks came up with the walking Taco not white folks

Reported
I grew up on white people tacos. For the first 18 years of my life, between taco bell and what my mom made, I thought that was mexican food and I loved it. Then when I was in the Marine Corps I had authentic mexican food for the first time, my life was changed and there was no going back- white people tacos were ruined for me forever. Cilantro, onion, lime juice, and salsa verde on a corn tortilla with either barbacoa, lengua, or carnitas... The best
I don't know man... I'm white but my wife is Mexican and "white people" tacos and Mexican tacos are both good in different ways. We generally mix and match authentic and "white people" ingredients and they are the best of both worlds. I will admit that Valentina smokes Ortega though and it's not even close.
Boom son! I learned what real Mexican cooking was stationed at Nellis AFB. There is no substitution
thank u for ur service!
I will say joinin the army changed my taste buds too, growin up with barely any food i had the same mentality, minus cilantro tastes like soap
they are stolen culture
I thinks it’s so funny that when my grandmother comes to visit the US from Guadalajara the first thing she is always excited to eat is Taco Bell.
😆
my grandma too 😂😂😂
Taco bell .. Lolz makes me think of Demolition man
I'm just here for Tim Walz
Good Woman. She knows what's up, ; )
I'm Black, and I absolutely love white people tacos. I didn't know that's what you called them, but when I first ordered authentic Mexican tacos, I was surprised at how different it was from what I was used to. It's still very delicious and sumptuous, but I'd still never skip out on white people's tacos ever.
Bro authentic Mexican is where it's at. You can't be serious
@@oceanwaves83 I ain't say it was nasty.😇
Every.once and awhile i crave em. Its what we grew up on. @@mirumotsuyasuke8327
I think they’re American tacos realistically lol. But since American majority white 🤷♂️.
Just made my own bbq sauce for my chicken quarters so America. Fuck yeah.
@@mirumotsuyasuke8327 that's my point
I'm Mexican, and I enjoy one of these from time to time. So sue me.
💯💯💯
ewww no
I mean, I'm pretty sure you also eat sausages from time to time. Maybe even a hotdog with a bun? That is far from authentic. Most people don't go all in with dry aged brats from a link, air smoked and then simmered in a bed of freshly fermented sour kraut, smothered in a peppered dill mustard. With a side of radish soup. I highly doubt you've ever eaten raw pork and onion on a sour dough bread either. Point being, there are mass marketed, commercialized versions of all sorts of cultural cuisines. I enjoy these kinds of tacos as well as often eating hotdogs. Despite hotdogs being a crappy low rent version of my culture's actual food. But to be fair, I'd rather have my moms hot slaw, brats and beer bread over a regular hotdog. But ehh...who has time for that shit.
@@Spartucus101 I dont eat taco bell or hotdogs
As you should, food is food.
I’m also mexa and while I’ll tease all the güeros, I’ll get down on some white people tacos lol
I love how they all enjoyed it. Dads aren’t picky, and I think that’s really lovely.
Yeah, nobody complained about it at all. The worst thing they had to say was "Taco Bell"... And yeah, that's what it is. Lol
I died at the papas reacting to Keith from Lewburger/Try Guys’s white people taco night song.
Growing up in LA my Chicano friends and I used to make walking Tacos after school. We would go to 7-11 get a bag of Doritos or Fritos and add the chili and cheese from the nachos and onions and tomatoes from the hot dog toppings.
Damn!! Why didn’t I ever think of that! That woulda been tops over chiccarones with Valentina, but was probably a bit more.😂😂
Same here in Texas!!!!. Tbh, I bet we all learned to do this from "prison spread".
My roommate just said that's definitely thinking out of the box😂 it sounds pretty good to me tbh!
Sounds like we're related. 😂
Wey here in north mexico we ear that😂 we call it nachos or papitas preparadas
You can knock it, but it’s easy and good. You put whatever amount of whatever you want on it. Doesn’t compare to street or real Mexican tacos.. but it’s good.
The Mexican restaurant Mitla Cafe inspired Taco Bell's hard-shell tacos. The cafe's menu added tacos in 1951, and their kitchen staff would stuff ground beef into corn tortillas, deep fry them, and top them with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Mitla Cafe's hard-shelled ground beef taco is listed as "Taco" in the "A La Carte" section of the menu, where diners can specify "hard-shelled" and "ground beef".
Hard shell tacos are likely an adaptation of tacos dorados, a traditional Northern Mexican dish of soft tortillas that are rolled or pinched shut and fried until crispy. In the early 20th century, crispy tacos became popular in California and Texas immigrant communities, and some Mexican chefs patented devices to help shape and fry tortillas into hard taco shells.
@@2apocalypse-X that’s awesome.. but that kinda means it’s Mexican food.
I live within a rock throw of the place that created the chimichanga. I won’t dare say that’s American though.
@@jrod1591 Well, not to nitpick but maybe just a bit.... It's all American since Canada, the U.S.A., and Mexico are all in North America. To be fair though, the only reason this is at the front of my mind is that Canadians will remind me when I get it wrong.
The Chimichanga is just a fat Flauta rolled like a burrito.
Did you know Mexicans invented white people tacos?

I like how there's barely any judgment towards the practice, they just see it as a different way to do it, being honest about its obvious shortcomings, but also what makes it fun for the people who make and eat them
The main buzzfeed dude Keith still is unrecognizable lol. These uncles crack me up 😂 I loooooooove Mr. Beard, keep bringing them back.
Ay, Mexicans use short cuts too😂😂. Love you guys
I don't care what anyone says these style tacos are good. Im usually making or buying street style tacos but I still crave these and make them from time to time.
Walking tacos are fun, convenient, and minimal clean-up. 👍
great for grade school or high school basketball and football games.
i think they are called Nachos. lol
That's a taco salad or a taco in a bag.
@@StonerKitchennope lol
@@TheMrCC21taco salad is in a bowl or plate, walking taco is usually either Fritos corn chips or Doritos and you add the ingredients directly into the bag
love how they're not hatin. Just laughing and enjoying the differences.
Omg I'd never thought we would see Keith and the Papahs in the same video 🤣😭 have them go on a future Eat the Menu!!
Never in my days, will I put olives in a taco, everything else sure. But OLIVES?
i would say lettuce is a worse sin
A Mexican restaurant where I live made these special monterreys with green olives that were so freaking good! Now I always put green olives in my taco meat! I know it sounds odd but it's delicious!
@@sarajuanaict 😭 im just not a fan of them to be fair, seems wilds still but could be a good a idea like that
@@KamiyadaGGsame idk i can’t do it 😭
@@KamiyadaGGit’s from the nachos. Like some loaded machos will have olives and to be honest, they aren’t bad.
Teberio was having way too much much fun in this episode! Love it
As a white boy who grew up in Cali and now lives in Oregon this video had me down right cackling 😂 I miss really good Mexican food it's so hard to find here.
not really. go to woodburn or hillsboro. you must live in ashland or something lol
I got so lucky. Moved from Nevada to Indiana and we have one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever eaten at... but every person working their is from Mexico. When hardly anyone speaks English well, you know it's going to be good.
Missing pickle jalapeño peppers man!❤❤🌮
banana peppers are good too
FACTS!
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
I always think of walking tacos as like fair food, or something I would have at a graduation party or potluck lol
I definitely see them at the food stands at my local swap meet. Nowhere else.
I love all tacos whether they be authentic or Tex-Mex, and I get how some think the black olives is a strange addition. But to me it is reminiscent of the Mexican Pizza and other Taco Bell products that used to have olives, which I was all about that. Loved that the Lewberger song was in this also! 🤩
No. Anything BUT olives
Olives were my favorite part, so long as they were fresh, ....mushy or olives older than like .... 30 mins... instantly make it the worse part.
So when will the Papah singalong videos start? A little Tapatio instead of ball to bounce above the words to help us keep up. 😂
I love Ortega tacos so much it’s part of my family tradition 😂
I am here as a white person to say, yes, yes we love sour cream.
😂
crema 😀
Yes! One time one of my siblings ate all the sour cream and I legit had a fit right there, because I had to go buy some more. Can’t go without!
Anyone saying those white peokle tacos aren’t good are biased stubbornly. Maybe not the best, maybe not great. But, bad? No. It’s a good taco.
You're right. Being of Mexican descent, I can honestly say that sometimes, maybe once or twice a year, I get a craving for white people tacos. I wouldn't go as far as to call them tacos, but they're good for what they are. Maybe salad in a shell? 😂
@@elizabethcastillo274 exactly.
@@elizabethcastillo274 Maybe folded tostada?
So often people get hung up on whether something is authentic and not whether it's good, there are plenty of foods that are only vague facsimiles of something else, either because they were attempts to make that thing but having to use what was locally available OR through convergent culinary paths (eg lots of cultures have a form of pastry stuffed with savoury or sweet fillings. Samosas, Empanadas, Cornish Pasties, Pierogi, Gyoza etc etc because it's just a super convenient form factor for a meal on the go.) but are pretty good in their own right, these things get hammered for the lack of authenticity and really it's just a naming/branding issue rather than anything fundamental to the dishes themselves.
Na not really but its your story will let you tell its
Crunchy tacos and soft tacos each have their own merits. All tacos are special. Right ladies
#all tacos matter
Im Mexican/Native/Irish and I love me some white people tacos. Its like a lunchable but hell i like those too
They’re just tacos to me!!! I’ve never made them any other way! I’m African American and 58 years old!!!
These guys are so much fun. ❤
The great thing about white people tacos is that anybody can make them however they like and they taste good. They are a step above taco bell because of this and they are easy to make. There's nothing like authentic mexican tacos though, much harder to make.
this video is great guys. these tacos are great. So, I appreciate the humorous video and you having a good time with these!
I am PR and my mom used to make these tacos
And I loved them when I was a kid
Calling these three theatre boys frat boys is the best part of this.
we all love some white people tacos from time to time especially after a night of drinking 😂
Best video I have seen in a while. Too funny.
Im White and have NEVER put olives on tacos, nor has anyone I know. And we don't use the ortega sh*t either. I chop onion, tomato and cilantro up and mix together in a bowl with salt, pepper garlic and green chilies and let sit for like an hour. That's my veg. I know that's White but its good AF too. lol
Was about to say the same thing, never even heard of anyone putting olives on a taco. lol
I grew up on tacos with olives on them.
ive never heard of olives on tacos either kinda sounds nasty
It's a bizarre thing that you find in cookbooks and potluck recipes from the 1970s and 1980s. My grandma had a friend whose signature potluck dish was called "enchilada casserole" and was even less authentic than White People Tacos, and sliced black olives were a key ingredient.
I don't know who thought, "We use taco seasoning, which is somewhat salty, and put everything in what's essentially a giant salted corn chip. What we need is ANOTHER salty ingredient, but maybe one that's a briny kind of salty instead of regular salty," but they were clearly crazy. That said, I do sometimes enjoy olives on my nachos.... LOL
I put them on wet burritos
I like these guys you have on your show. Very good!
I always make my tacos like this, I didn't know people called them white people tacos lol
Right? I guess black people don't eat them?
All my Mexican friends call them American tacos.
Because they don't. I've never once heard them called that until.i watched this video. They're American tacos. I'm black and I've been eating them like this my whole life. And I prefer them.
Tex Mex was made by Mexican American in Tejas that's how the original founder of taco bell got the concept of it .
People usually don’t. It was just those guys making the music video. I see them as super market/fast food tacos.
The dads are always way chiller
"Damn. White people got something figured out right here"
🤣😂
Glad I have a Mexican store close by so I can get Al Pastor seasoned pork with authentic Salsa verde with cilantro and green onions. Goes great on corn tortillas.
I might try that "walking taco" idea. Reminds me of a dish they do in the New Mexico where they add spicy chili and cheese to a bag of Fritos. It's like 2 days worth of sodium in 1 bag though.
That’s what they always sold at Little League baseball games in Texas when I was a kid. A couple of mom’s with a crockpot of chili set up at a card table. We also used to layer it all plus onions in a casserole dish and bake it. Add some more Fritos and light layer of cheese at the end to make a crispy topping. Only we used Hormel Chili for the “walking” kind and Wolf Brand for the casserole. 🤷♀️ Yes, canned, not homemade chili because it’s meant to be simple, quick and easy.
@@tangyjoe4326 haha yeah I can see that. I had so much Hormel growing up, but last time I tried it a few years ago as an adult...man, that stuff is BAD! But if you add cheese and fritos, I could see it working just fine.
@ Haha. Well me and Hank Hill are from Texas and only use Wolf Brand Chili. But I would never eat it plain (only homemade for that) but it’s what I use for Frito Pie and on chili dogs.
They singing it too, lol, the song is catchy. Now everytime I have a taco like that, I will sing "A white people taco niiiiight 🎶🎵🎶🎵" "A whhiiitteee peeeople ttaacooo 🎶 🎵🎶🎵) 😋
Best episode ever! lol
These videos are always so cute. Just seeing how they react. 😊
Tacos al pastor are My favorites ❤❤❤❤
Mine, too! However, I do not have the skill to make them so when I see them, I am ordering a ton😊
Mexican Dads are so damn chill
We may ah e started it but it should be called American tacos. I grew up in the hood and everyone that wasn’t Hispanic had these. That said we also had the good stuff because the authentic restaurants near us delivered for cheap prices
That's a good point. I think American tacos is more accurate.
It's the same as what we've done with Italian and Chinese food.
Mexico is part of the American continent, so no... United States Tacos is more accurate.
@@JessicaFloresM that is nitpicking and you know it, north or South America if you said American they would think of the US. We are the only country in the americas that actually uses the name for themselves. I’ve never heard a Canadian say I’m North American even though they are.
Not all hispanics are Mexican though. It depends where you're from. I'm from nyc where most hispanics are carribbean, so many of us have made the "white people tacos" before. The only hispanics that I've seen buying the corn tortillas at the supermarket are mexicans lol. But I'm pretty sure many mexicans eat one of these every once in a while, too. Eating the same thing all the time is boring.
The one thing that can unite all people... Tacos. Any tacos. Love it.
breaking news: white people can be mexican because that isn't a race
I get your point I'm sure people just say things like this race and that race because they don't understand the meaning of the word race while having a contextual need to group some people together, I'm sure 98% of people understand when explained that there's only one Homo Sapien race.
White people maybe shouldn't be used by itself with the word people because it seems offensive to me who is a white American. Still, the issue is we can't say Northwest European when we're mainly referring to a group of American whites. Hence, we normally say Caucasian we know what group we mean but that word because of its history has become problematic, I'm prejudiced against many European countries for political reasons and anti-EU, so I don't like European going before American in European American I come from a long line of anti-EU sentiment. This leaves us with only one term to use when referring to that group of people "White American"
I wasn't sure about this video at first, but you just got a new subscriber. Pretty good stuff
I can hear bells 😂😂
Thanks a lot for putting that song in my head.
Walking tacos are usually made at sporting events and festivals.
They are quick and cheap to make. But growing up we never used hard shell tacos. We use flour tortillas that we fold in half and fry in oil to crisp up the out side.
I love tacos especially street tacos and birria....but i love to mix it up and make the hamburger meat with the taco seasoning packs and use the pace salsa....they're delicious
The one in the black shirt is so d*mn fine! I swoon over him in every video he's in.

@@cody3335 They’re standard where I grew up. Of course we also often subbed spaghetti sauce for salsa, so you know we’re complete barbarians.
@@eirreniaraw onions are for traditional Mexican tacos. Authentic Mexican tacos are topped with diced raw onion and cilantro
@@trinidad510 Not saying they aren’t on traditional tacos, just that they are _also_ a part of the usual homemade “white people taco” options, at least in the region I grew up in.
I was just thinking “omg me and my kids could eat that in the living room” then he said it could be a living room taco 😂 perfect timing
not Keith from the Try Guys 😭😭
"No le echen crema a los tacos" figuratively and literally😂
As a Mexican I can enjoy the Taco Bell style tacos but more as like a snack like enjoying some chips, I never eat it as a meal, its simple, not much flavor, but the crunch is nice, but of course I don’t compare it to an actual taco, real tacos are a meal you will be so satisfied after eating them.
As a Texan I'm right there with you, but if I'm going to go through the effort of making tacos, I'm doing Birria, Al Pasture, Adobo, or Picadillo, and I'm SURE as hell not buying any of that jarred crap salsa, it ain't a proper salsa without Serranos.
big back big back
Walking tacos ... we sold these at the football concession stand when my kids were in marching band.
As for the tacos, I do like corn tortilla shells, but I really love lightly fried/toasted flour tortillas to wrap around my taco fixins.
i always add canned refried beans, and some pickled jalapenos and onions, with sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, and hot valentina, some like my mom like adding olives, also some soft flour tortilla for some burritos too
My parents never baked the shells before serving. I grew up disliking them until I went to a friends house and they were baking the shells to crispify them. Changed my life.
Ever had a Black Folks Taco? 🌮.. Their kinda like the White Boy Tacos, but they use Ground Turkey seasoned with them Taco seasoning packets. There not bad. There also was a Africano who made a name for himself in South Central who would sell Tacos, Burritos, & Nachos from his front yard driveway. Dude had a Line of people waiting for his food. Never tried them but it must have been Good because he made the TV News Channels.
Keith Garrett of All Flavor, No Grease started out selling from his house, but he also has a food truck now too. I believe I first heard of him from a Netflix show on Tacos or food and I'd risk it, as a white man, to go to South Central to try that delicious food.
I'd think you'd be ok going to South Central to eat. I've seen plenty of White Folks eating at popular food joints in South Central. There's a very popular Hamburger Spot called "Hawkins House of Burgers" in Watts across the street from one of the most Violent Housing Projects in Los Angeles, and I've seen White people there every time I go. Just be yourself, be polite and respectful to everyone. Don't alienate yourself from enjoying life because of the color of your Skin. People are changing, like I said, just Be Yourself you'll be fine. @@jskelly1979

I'm not white and its not even necessary. It's cringe, lame, and childish. Just found this channel to.
The first dad with the Tijuana T-shirt says Picante and close captions give you McCormick. The next time he says the word picante CC gives you piccone or something like that. Lol.
Ikr, it especially threw me because there IS a spicy McCormick taco seasoning packet (that and the la preferida are my go-to when I dont wanna take the time to make my own seasoning).
as a 100% mexican (both my parents are from mexico), taco bell is kinda valid tbh its not that bad
When you want convenient food quick, we like taco bell too.
Grew up making some version of these for dinner when Mom was working late. Delicious, messy fun for a 12yo. Both authentic and white guy tacos are great in their own ways.

Walking tacos are mostly made with the individual size bag of Doritos not the full size bag.
