This 1 star review of my favorite local Mexican restaurant and the owner’s perfect response.
You went to a Mexican restaurant and you’re shocked they gave you hot sauce that you didn’t have to eat? They didn’t ruin your meal, you did!
peak boomer logic
Leaving a bad review because the taco was too big to swallow and no one told me I had to chew
That's not what this is at all
It exists, therefore it was for me, therefore I don’t like it.
is this a taco place? i highly doubt it was wasabi 😂
lol, it’s serrano and it’s hot af 🥵
Yeah, in a real Mexican place, the red sauce is mild, the green is hot... and the orange is like lil tubs of magma.. it's gotten me before, too, lol
There’s a place near me called Takosushi where you can get Mexican and Japanese.
interesting
tako in japanese is octopus
Is almost bet they picked it because it sounds like “taco” not because it’s a real Japanese word.
Do not eat the Pistachio. It has turned. (How do you type in tow mater voice?)
it dun turrnd, tell you wuut
Oh my god my son is literally watching Cars right now, this is perfect.
Annunciate all the words to read like a southern accent
Enunciate*
Gets Mexican food
Surprised to taste spicy
...would be like complaining about soy sauce with Japanese food...
In other shocking news, water is wet! 💦
Mouth on fire?
Where is this place you speak of? (Asking for a friend)
They were expecting black pepper spicy
I thought it was going to turn out to be guac, and she's allergic to avocado. At least she wasn't in danger. I only learned recently that "black pepper spicy" is a real thing! My son's boyfriend's folks (boomers, but the cool kind) think all but the barest hint of black pepper is too spicy. Garlic is right out. They don't even use seasoned salt.
My house has a whole spice cupboard. (Didn't used to be, but you know how you find something cool, and then a recipe with it has something else you never tried before, so you gotta grab that one, too?) Getting to know his family was a bit of a food culture shock. Now sometimes I just make extra when I'm doing certain foods because I can drop it off with my son while he's at work, and there's no risk of grossing out his spice-sheltered BF.
I respect that even the smell of unfamiliar spices can be overwhelming or gross. I'm not going to be that bitch sneaking unwanted stuff into people's food to "prove" it won't hurt them. The restaurant handled this perfectly. "We're not for everyone, and that's ok." Apparently garlic and even black pepper aren't for everyone. I find it odd, but it's okay. I can't imagine the BF's folks bitching out a cook or a restaurant for them choosing to try something new and deciding they don't like it. I need to remember to thank them for not being that kind of boomer.
is it green?? wasabi
Boomer: "we will not be back." Owner: "You promise?"
The spiciness of the green is inverse to the size of the air-conditioned kitchen volume and amount of toilets available. -Texas.
IE. taco shop on side of road, tamale lady? Spicy af. Big ass restaurant? Spacious men’s AND women’s room? you have to ask the waiters if the cooks have some of their own in the back for any level of heat.
LMAO wasabi like Chile peppers and tomatillos aren't green
