Is This the Best Taco in the World?

This film isn't just about a taco. It's about Ralph Gilmore, a guy with an eighth-grade education who became a millionaire. And then he lost it all. And then he became a millionaire again. And then he lost it all--again. Finally, he bought a used shipping container on Craiglist and started slinging the best tacos you've ever had out of it. Read more: www.theatlantic.com/video/ind...

So dramatic lmao

[@Rodrigo-gq2di]

I was thinking the same! Specially in the trippy part at 8:40. Maybe the director is a huge fan of Requiem for a Dream.

Y'all are about 30 years behind the curve. We were making this precise dish in Cabo in 1986, with mesquite grilled fish 90 minutes from being caught and hand ground tortillas fresh off the griddle. Use Wahoo Pardner. It's better by far.

[@soyitiel]

that dramatic opening sequence about a tuna taco, though

[@CamGottaFro]

I wish My parents took me as seriously as Texas takes their tacos.

Sad but true

Mind you, like Frank, you're expected to make something of yourself before you get any awards in life.

I wish Texas would take Mexicans as good as they take Mexican food.

Great story and cinematography!

[@DaryenAmbrose]

This video and this “Taco” is the epitome of culture vulture nonsense.

[@ES-qy2ju]

that's not even a taco

[@computer59]

This is so motivational I just solved world hunger

[@jarodh-m6099]

The story is great. The title is unnecessarily gimmicky.

[@MattWerner]

I want to try these tacos! This short documentary is rich with storytelling and cinematography. I like how they look at Ralph's background and family, and also showcase him as one of the people "Keeping Austin Weird." Really interesting angle, and I'll have to check out his tacos when I'm back in Austin!

[@cjsix8529]

This is pretty hilarious. The Atlantic put up the green for this production? I am impressed...or something...I think...

[@alexandravoute6725]

Such a fun and visually beautiful food doc. Warning: this video may cause extreme drooling/desire for sushi grade tuna taco

[@airey773]

beautifully produced mini doc. and now i want a damn tuna taco. i don’t even like tacos!

[@rachaelerin1]

Someone’s social media team been watching Chef’s Table

[@soundknight]

How many germs are in his wrist chains though?

[@soundknight]

Yay good news story

[@andrewcortez7895]

I just wanted to clear that guys throat and couldn't watch the video because of it.

[@sachmoney]

Did they ever tell us what is served with the tuna on the tortilla?

[@rubenkerobyan6891]

Great

[@duo315]

Tuna doesn't belong on a taco

[@msaxzia6290]
