Comments: The birth of the taco
Now you've done it--what's-his-name, from the taco plate post, shall now return to tell us American's don't know jack about Mexican food, because Taco Bell.

a chicken taquito with a good hot sauce is really a lot like a stick of dynamite.
That doesn't go off until the next morning....

A stick of dynamite? In what universe? Most Mexican food, and a chicken taquito in particular, is relatively bland. And good salsa doesn't burn (unlike Thai food, for example).

...And I thought tacos had something to do with Tijuana and blind drunkenness.
Well, you learn something new every day.

jwm - Well, I'm not sure about Mexican food but quite a lot of cuisines that use many spices get distorted away from their country of origin. Indian food, for example, prepared by Indians for Indians is nowhere near as hot as the stuff sold in British curry houses.
