What’s wrong with this picture?
Mexican’s don’t do pizza; they do tacos. What’s next, Luigi’s burritos? This is cuisine confusion beyond the pale. Mexican restaurant menus are confusing enough as it is without throwing in non-Mexican stuff! I know Latinos are supposed to me a growing demographic, but let’s leave the Italian food to the Italians, okay.
I suspect pizzas are harder to make good than you might guess. First you have to toss the dough in a nice round shape to fit the pizza pie tin. Then you have to spread just the right ingredients onto the dough, and do it in the right order and the correct amounts. What makes a Mexican guy think he can do this? Chico is getting out of his zone of comfort, I suspect, just to lure customers that are stupid enough to think there’s such a thing as a Mexican pizza. I’m sorry, but you can’t just throw some ground beef, cheese, scallions, and guacamole onto a bit of dough and call it a pizza.
Multi-cultural food offerings are by definition terrible. How would you like a Chinese corned beef sandwich? Few things in life would be as gross. Even within our own country, finding a proper bowl of grits or a good glass of iced tea in the north is downright impossible.
I fully expect some contrarian among you – probably Teal or Greatmartin – to propose that a Mexican pizza might be pretty tasty and creative. I suspect that view would expose you as a simpleton that puts ketchup (ugh) on a hotdog, or mayo on a pastrami sandwich. How gross can you get?! I’ll bet you eat corndogs too.
Pass me the sushi…
