As a father, I take great pride in introducing my son to new experiences and cultures. So you can imagine my disappointment when we recently visited a highly recommended authentic Mexican restaurant, only to have my son order a burger and fries?
I mean, what kind of uncultured simpleton doesn’t order tacos or enchiladas at a Mexican restaurant? And to make matters worse, he doesn’t even pronounce Mexico with an H. It’s MEH-i-co, not MEX-i-co

This is one of the best burgers in town. Don’t get me wrong, the deseyano is my go to from here, but sometimes a burger is the only thing that hits the spot.
That looks delicious
there’s a new-mexico (new-mex-mex I guess?) restaurant around the corner that does a fucking amazeballs Hatch Chile relleno burger. Awesome burritos and tacos and everything else too, but that burger is the first time I’ve ever ordered a hamburger at a mexican (er) restaurant.
What an insufferable website.
It’s just a joke! Satire articles
If it’s poorly executed, is it still satire?
You might want to specify that it’s satire somewhere on the site. The Qanon stuff was considered a joke until suddenly it wasn’t. You never know what stupid people will run with.
I did be sure to mention it’s a satire site on the About page and right under the logo on the header of every page (although now looking at it again, it is too small).
On Lemmy I include “Read the rest of the satire news article here at…” at the bottom of every post description. I also have it listed on the side bar of this community and the bio in my profile.
Although, it doesn’t matter if I have it listed if people don’t see it. thanks for the feedback! I’ll start with making the header tagline larger and think of other ideas.
Those satire websites, just insufferable
Not all are, but this one is.
Noted!
Oh, I just realized, you’re part of the site’s team, right? Or at least it looks like it. A bit hard to tell because the website doesn’t link to Lemmy, but it does link to Mastodon so it seems likely enough.
Yeah the website is just me, no team or anything. Oh looks like i missed the link to here on the bottom. Just added it but there wasn’t a lemmy icon to chose from so I’ll look into adding that. Good catch, Thanks!
awesome, svg even. thanks!
This would be me. Because I don’t like tomatoes, peppers, sour cream, or avocado, I don’t have a lot of options at Mexican restaurants any fancier than Taco Bell.
Street tacos. Tortilla meat onion cilantro salsa
Salsa.
Go for green. Or al pastor
Salsa verde is still made with peppers. Al pastor might work depending on how promiment the peppers are - I generally don’t mind the spice, just the flavor and texture of peppers themselves.
Anyways thanks for the advice. I don’t really have a good reason to be arguing this, so don’t feel like I’m obligating you to make a counterpoint.
I need to get the homie into a street taco he can trust
Nothing wrong with Taco Bell!
Indeed, Taco Bell is one of my top 3 favorite restaurants, but my family likes higher-quality places.
I mean, there are things wrong with Taco Bell, I just don’t care about them.
Lol ya I take that back. Well said. I can’t say there is nothing wrong with it but dammit it’s cheap and I like it
I just want to say that we have amazing shrimp & pineapple burgers down here. 😍 Haters gon’ hate, but my fatass gon’ eat gud.
Huh? Is there beef? If not that’s a delicious sounding shrimp sandwich
Yup! No beef, and you don’t need it, but I think you can ask for bacon. It’s so good.
Not a burger, sounds good though.
Fite me.
I have the power of the global burger guild on my side
Really? I’m gunna have to look this up bc that sounds really interesting Edit: I saved a random recipe online but if you have a good one I’d love to try it!
Looks like a damn fine burger to me!
No regrets.
Live in LA. Mexicans make the best burgers.
Understanding seasonings?
I’ll have to check it out sometime. I’m in Minnesota and we’re not known for our mexican food lol
There’s a Mexican restaurant in my town that I love. I love the whole menu, and they also happen to make a burger that’s my favorite burger in town too.
If you ask for extra cinco-de-mayonnaise and wash it down with a happy hour taco-rita, then it goes back to being authentic!
Chili’s is about as authentic as they come!
“Authentic” Mexican.
Dad is an uncultured simpleton for trying to limit the scope and depth of a national cuisine when it is a living cuisine. Even “traditional” is dubious, but at least it can be relatively qell defined by specifying how long something must occur the same way to be considered traditional.
“Authentic” mexican food can only be had when in mexico, and I will die on that hill, but not without a few greasy, spicy farts towards anyone objecting to my authentic authority on this subject.
Tattletale Times is a satire news website! Poking fun at the unfortunate fact that there is some asshole Dad out there like this but I took it over the top. I got the idea bc my 4 year old asks for a cheeseburger at every place we eat at. I have to tell him sorry but there aren’t any burgers at jimmy John’s! But he’s such a picky eater I call it a win if I can get him to eat anything that’s not candy!
I have had some good Mexican food in Mexico, but the best Mexican food I’ve ever had was on Bali, hands down.
