Because divided Mexicans will destroy this country.



In addition to some amazing local spots I saw this weekend in Ct-ville came this older one from El Paso tacos. Hmmm. “What divides Mexicans?” Eating food out of a mariachi hat? Should NAFTA be repealed? What to wear for an illegal border crossing? Is it okay to use a Muzak version of La Bamba but instead we call it La Taco? Should we fake perfect English with a gruff Mexican-sounding voiceover? Should we use subtitles while actors speak Spanish, just so the audience knows we used real Hispanic Mexican Mexicans for real fake Mexican food?

Other than that, well, I just don’t know what divides them.

Am very curious to know if Latinos really dig Old El Paso, or if it's viewed like Taco Bell. Always thought they preferred to make things with fresher ingredients.
