29 People Who Found Ways To Turn Delicious Mexican Food Into Abominations
It's slander to label these as Mexican food
Mexican food can be comforting, bold, and unforgettable, but some people still manage to turn it into something wildly off-track.

It’s still your choice how you make and eat your food, but you better call it what it is. Not like these people who did the minimum or beyond imaginable and dubbed it Mexican food.
People might have been offended, and others disgusted. Some might feel indifferent about these, but for sure, a lot of people need to taste the real thing so they’ll know how it’s supposed to be.
Some meals should never have made it past the kitchen.
Wait, it gets worse, read about the Thanksgiving enchilada recipe fight between OP and her cousin’s chef husband.
