Eh, until relatively recently, the "Mexican" food many Americans grew up with was Taco Bell. So people who have only known that, living in Wisconsin or something, aren't under any sort of onus to seek out fish tacos or torta or (deep end of the pool) lengua.
Ooh. Nothing wrong with that, or Korean barbecue tacos.
Where I am there's a bigger Latino population than most areas outside the SW. So there are a lot of former fast food places that were taken over by Latino-run Mexican restaurants. Not all of them kept the drivethru, but enough did. I'm not a fan of drivethrus generally, so meh. I'd rather grab-and-go or sit down and eat. If you're lucky, the place will have TV or radio playing from Mexico. On a hot day you can close your eyes and pretend. It doesn't take much.
No one's under any onus to do anything.
Wouldn't that just be Indian food? Naan plus Indian food is still Indian food. Does holding it like a taco make it fusion?
I went to a conference in Minneapolis about 10 years ago, and the highlight of my trip was an Indian-Mexican fusion place in the basement of the building across the street. The food was okay, not memorable, but the idea captivated me. I'm totally here for tacos vindaloo or butter chicken empanadas.
The place I ate at in Minneapolis was along the lines of tortillas filled with Indian meats and slightly adjusted veggies/toppings.
They had some other stuff they were planning on doing, but they never released the full menu. Something called "Mumbai margaritas," or something similar, was apparently going to be on the menu, which maybe meant a different sweetener than Cointreau. (Mango, maybe?)
