No burrito is Spanish. In French taco means what you seen in the video.

@@PrettyGoodLookin These are French tacos. They have nothing to do with California. They were not invented in California and are distinct from what you are referring to. They are French. They are French tacos. Do you also think that Spanish tortillas are not tortillas, because they are totally different than Mexican tortillas? Tortilla literally means "little cake" in English. In Spain that is the name given to their traditional omelet. In Mexico it refers to their traditional flat bread. However, they are both named tortillas.

As a french living overseas, after seeing what they did to croissant (sandwich, sometimes filled with eggs and ham, etc), I have no shame about this.

[@NM-ir6wd]

This place is called O'Tacos, they sell california burritos with French/Algerian sauces and their loyal patrons rave review is that a taco isn't a burger... If it tastes good that's dope, I'd eat one, but that's a French take on a Cali burrito son. I'm slowly starting to understand why Italian people get mad when others bastardize their food. It's not that they're upset at the creativity...they're annoyed by them mis-labelling things. If they called this a French Cali Burrito it would make perfect sense.

[@zebax3814]

Yeah you're right, it's just missnamed, it's actually closer too shawarma than mexican food. They just choose to call it taco for whatewer reason and now the name stick with it

[@kayrosis5523]

I mean they look tasty, but calling them tacos makes everyone in North America from Indianapolis to Guadalajara cry and get angry. If you ever try and expand into the North American market, you're gonna have to call them something else.

[@overman2306]

[@alexkyria]

I live in France, and this might be the most popular junk food among certain French youth, those things are calorie bombs, so yes they are cheap and they fill you up, and in most cases you won't be able to finish just one, so yes you are getting a bang for your buck, but you are almost guaranteed to end up in the hospital with a severe pancreatic crisis (happened to me and I spent 14h in the hospital) because your body just can't take that much saturated fat in a single sandwich, I mean you can bash the Americans how much you want on how fat and greasy some of their foods are, but the greasiest quadruple bypass burger from the Heart Attack Grill is like having a healthy organic salad compared to a French Taco, don't take the risk guys.

[@valdir7426]

I ate a few in my youths; and they are a lot; but I wouldn't say they automatically cause you to go to the hospital (sorry that happened to you though).

[@SerifSansSerif]

You don't know typical American food either. Edit: this "tacos" is exactly the same sort of thing popular with American youths, no better no worse. The rest of us, however, would ATTEMPT to eat a bit better though we struggle with cheap calories and high cost of living. Even still, travel to the US and try our non-fast food restaurants before you judge.

[@alexkyria]

@@SerifSansSerif I'm American. I'm just an American who happens to live in France, so yes I can judge between both nations.

[@TheTwan85]

This inspired me to invent my own fastfood trend! I'm gonna grill some kind of meat puck made out of ground beef, put it on a bun with some cheese, bacon, mustard, onion and tomato... I'm calling it a Dutch pizza 🤔

[@charliemurillo4321]

In the Diccionario de Mejicanismos (Mexicanismos) of 1895, defines the Burrito as: "Rolled tortilla, with meat or other food inside, which in Yucatán they call codzito, and in Cuernavaca and Mexico, taco." And there's more information, like the legend of Juan Méndez, who transported the food in a donkey (burrito).

[@IvanConejo.]

"That's no taco! This is a taco!" proceeds to show us the most American taco ever

[@sachinmistry1]

The taco example that they showed was awful. A good example of a taco is what you would get from an LA, Austin or San Antonio food truck.

[@disdoncable]

Brick'N'Cheese is a popular Canadian chain that does these French Tacos. For obvious reasons, they're very big in Quebec.

[@Vash_Carrison]

As a Mexican (Mexican-American actually), I'll let them have it. Our superior cuisine is expanding. I'd eat it even if it ain't authentic.

[@tirtha2chester]

Bro just put together a shawarma from leftovers and called it a taco

[@victoralarcon6351]

It’s not french. This is basically a burrito, which is mexican. This version is not bad tho, but it’s got nothing to do with tacos.

[@ApLemon]

Hmm, ask any mexican and they will tell you that that thing is not a taco either 0:08 , that is some sort of weird tostada. And that "french taco" is a burrito in fact 🤦‍♀️ I expected more from DW...

[@Daniel.Belas1]

Dont worry paisanos, i'm starting a new brand bakery called O'Baguette where instead of it being like a loaf, it'll be circular with a hole in the center and i'm gonna call it a Mexican Baguette.

[@pushslice]

I’ve tried them and while they’re objectively not terrible food , they are absolutely not even in the same category of excellence as an honest-to-goodness Mexican taco (or even… RESEMBLING tacos, but… I digress ). Why does everyone try to make their own subpar ‘joke’ version of tacos? …There are so many ACTUAL Mexicans who would love to set up shop in your country/city, if you just gave them a chance. their homegrown food (assuming they don’t dumb it down for the locals) is …spectacular.

[@OFFICIALDJFLASHBACK]

When I stayed in the 17th arrondisement of Paris, I came across many local shops selling kebabs and these kids of tacos. As a Mexican, I'm not offended, if anything flattered that the French have incorporated and adapted it to fit their palate. With a huge population from Algeria, Tunisia and more, I understand the concept. I would've tried one, but all the shops were closed on that day.

That ain't no taco, that's a Burrito, flour tortilla with refried beans, a slice or two of Chihuahua cheese and one or two slices of pickled jalapeño pepper, recently they've begun making them with meat, beef or chicken, but the traditional Burrito is filled with beans, cheese and the chili peppers. Seeing the french fries piled on and the cream sauce ladled on top resembles what French Canadians call Poutine, french fries, curd and brown gravy, but I must agree I'd definitely try the French Taco.😋👍🌯
