South L.A.'s African-American Taco Movement | Food Grails

Welcome to Food Grails, a new First We Feast travel series hosted by Miss Info. As a music journalist, she's travelled the world and seen the power of artists who rep for their hometown sound. Now, she wants to discover how foods define a city’s flavor-from Atlanta's lemon-pepper wings, to NYC's beef patties. These are America’s food grails.
In episode 1, Miss Info meets a group of young, charismatic African-American entrepreneurs from Watts, South L.A, and Compton who are shaking up the taco scene, finding new meaning in L.A.’s iconic street food. Find out how upstarts like All Flavor No Grease and Taco Mell are making a name for themselves, and why rapper Casey Veggies says, "The food game turned into the rap game."

Lataundra Ardoin hold up, hold up! I agree that black, white, and Asian people can make tacos their own way with different toppings as a Mexican American with academic merits I'm cool with that 100%! but only an absolute ignorant person believes they are embracing their own culture while taking from another culture... run that by me please... Eminem one of my top 5 rappers admits that rap is part of black culture and no matter how different he made it...he understands that he drew his motivation from African Americans artists like Tupac, biggie, dre.. ! To say hip hop is white culture because a white rapper as big and famous as Eminem successfully did it differently would be a complete disrespect to the black culture! And I can guarantee many black folk would say you stole from them ! ..Name me one African, Asian or European country that made tacos before South Americans.. just one please enlighten me since everyone eats tacos! If you can't then you took from Latin culture regardless of what toppings you decide to put on your taco! Just google Taco Bell! That's a white persons version of tacos! Which I love by the way! And anything you read about Taco Bell addresses the Mexican influence! In fact their slogan is live "mas" which means live more.. no disrespect but please don't appropriate my culture if you're simply going to shit on someone like the main commentator who stated he enjoys people creating their own style of Taco.. your the reason people are divided.. embrace everyone and pay respect where respect is due.. and by the way I'd be down to try this guys Taco.. it looks bomb

And this movement is a fusion of black american culture mixing with mexican culture. If this fusion shit is new to people they're dumb as fuck. Mexicans wouldn't even have sheep or cows, or dairy products like cheese if not for spain. Mexican food was a fusion of native central americans like aztec, mayans, and incas dishes mixed with the spanish dishes. Thats two fucking cultures mixing delicious food to make a new delicious food. Same thing with the filipinos cooking is a mixture of asian and spanish cooking that makes filipino food. Racist ass people here who are against certain races cooking food are dumb as shit because most of the food they eat were created by a mix of different races fusing their cuisine.

It's cool that they putting differences aside, but it bothers me when he said beef , lettuce ,tomato sour cream that's a black taco, which really is no different than the white American version of our Mexican taco, that is appropriation of a culture, now if it would be a taco with like soul food in it that be different like a taco with spicy bbq pull pork, with a lil coleslaw and tamotatoes that's would be a black american taco, and I say that cause I'm Mexican American when I go to a bbq and they give me bbq pull pork, or bbq ribs, i ask my aunt for tortillas cause us Mexicans eat tortillas with everything, I eat mine with bbq pork, beans and rice and it's bomb, us Mexicans been making tacos and burritos in a fusion with other people's food but not claiming in as Mexican cause it's a fusion

Who would’ve thought tacos would bring so many people together, the concept is Mexican but the idea and reinvention of the tacos and how you market and make them is what changes the game. “WE” inspire each other through music,clothing and food. At the end of the day is all about being your own boss and being passionate about what you do. It’s not just food it’s a way of life.#”WE” inspire ALL
