Indiana judge rules tacos, burritos are sandwiches
Indiana judge rules tacos, burritos are sandwiches
"The Court agrees with Quintana that tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches," the judge wrote.
This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.
Preposterous. Burritos are calzone.
Good enough for New York, good enough for Indiana

- 1 side is toast
- 2 sides is a sandwich
- 3 sides is a taco
This tuling was passed due to a contract obligation to open a sandwich store. These cases are ueually related to regulations. Kind of like when an Irish court ruled that Subway subs are cakes, so higher VAT and sugar tax would apply to them. (In all fairness, the sugar content in the Subway "bread" is several times higher than the max allowed for bread.)
The judge also noted that, despite his ruling, he did not consider the plan commission’s actions to be improper, leaving the door open for an appeal
Appeal that shit immediately. Start a Gofundme. This injustice cannot stand.
We already have the Cube Rule of Food Identification Unifying Theory. Tacos are Tacos. Burritos are Wraps. These guys need to get with the program. We base our food taxonomy on the specific arrangement of carbohydrates like civilized people.
Does the Indiana judge know what a Torta is? Does he not realize that there's... actual sandwiches (there's like 7-8 different sandwiches). Tacos and burritos are NOT sandwiches.
I'm Latino, not of Mexican origin. However, sometimes I prefer their sandwich over any other dish. And I normally would buy two of them.
HOT TACO SANDWICHES!
Indiana is fuckin stupid
Most participants in this debate are far too preoccupied with the shape or structure of the sandwich, to the point of neglecting what a sandwich is all about. It's simple. A sandwich is when you use bread as a handheld base for prepared foods that would otherwise be too messy to eat with your fingers. A tortilla is a flat bread, ergo handheld burritos and soft tacos are sandwiches.
"Then why isn't pizza an open-faced sandwich?" Because pizza has a crust, not bread. When you take raw dough and bake it along with its toppings or fillings, it may be a pie or a pastry or a pizza or a casserole or some other category I don't care to quibble over. It's not a sandwich.
Obviously there are many sub-categories of sandwiches. A dish isn't necessarily excluded from being a sandwich just because it's also another type of food.
Mexican American sandwich please! Yes with Cesar's salad and beans and rice.
Aside from the discussion about whether the taco or burrito constitutes a sandwich, I think the judge made the correct ruling. The retail agreement says no “traditional fast food” can set up shop in that mall, and specifically cites drive thrus and outdoor seating as the reasons.
The strip mall owners probably don’t want businesses taking over common sidewalks or creating more traffic than the shared parking lot can handle. So long as they don’t have those, I don’t see any reason a Mexican food place can’t fit entirely into the leased space.
E: also based on their website this place looks bangin
They might be in indiana
I read Indiana Jones. That's all I camr here to say.
Goodbye
Flies away
RADICAL SANDWICH ANARCHY!!!
TOASTER STRUDEL IS A SANDWICH!!!
this is definitely an indiana activity.
That much i can confirm.
This is just so some NIMBY tools can't ban a burrito place from going into a space that was oddly defined to practically mandate a subway restaurant or other sub shop that isn't explicitly fast food.
