29 People Who Found Ways To Turn Delicious Mexican Food Into Abominations
It's slander to label these as Mexican food
There are no certain rules when it comes to food. You’re free to experiment with it however you like, and you might surprise yourself when you create a masterpiece.
But there are unspoken rules that, when broken, could get you ostracized for your opinion. It’s even worse when you involve food or food combinations that are part of a great culture.
It’s almost treated as a crime, or at the very least, a dealbreaker. Imagine being on a date and committing one of these ‘mistakes’; soon enough, the other person is looking at you weirdly, already thinking about how to end the night quickly.
It’s that bad. Mexican food is among the best cuisines in the world; the flavor, the texture, and the combinations all sound like heaven.
It’s also tied to a deep and rich culture. So, it’s no surprise that people are accustomed to eating it a certain way.
Still, there are people online who feel they need to step back from any Mexican food unless they want a whole community coming after them and their taste buds. If you think that’s extreme, imagine watching your beloved childhood food combined with the most unexpected ingredients you could think of.

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 as 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.
