"The Court agrees with Quintana that tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches," the judge wrote.

    Does the Indiana judge know what a Torta is? Does he not realize that there’s… actual sandwiches (there’s like 7-8 different sandwiches). Tacos and burritos are NOT sandwiches.

    I’m Latino, not of Mexican origin. However, sometimes I prefer their sandwich over any other dish. And I normally would buy two of them.

          but the tortilla does not contain a leavening agent and therefore cannot be considered bread.

          I have to disagree here. It is unleavened bread.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unleavened_bread

          I’m surprised Merriam-Webster doesn’t know that.

    Aside from the discussion about whether the taco or burrito constitutes a sandwich, I think the judge made the correct ruling. The retail agreement says no “traditional fast food” can set up shop in that mall, and specifically cites drive thrus and outdoor seating as the reasons.

    The strip mall owners probably don’t want businesses taking over common sidewalks or creating more traffic than the shared parking lot can handle. So long as they don’t have those, I don’t see any reason a Mexican food place can’t fit entirely into the leased space.

    E: also based on their website this place looks bangin

      First, you need to find a place where soup restaurants have some special privileges compared to normal businesses. Then, just start a soup restaurant there and serve cereal and milk instead.

      If you can’t find such a place, then maybe you can ask your local politicians to pass a bill like that. Would be nice if soup restaurants had to pay only half the amount of taxes compared to everyone else. Would be good for the owners, and fun for everyone else to see where the resulting legal battles go. Suddenly, you would find lots of companies selling just about anything and everything as soup and claiming they don’t have to pay the usual taxes.

      I would have argued with you before today, because a hot dog is clearly a taco. But I guess if tacos are sandwiches, then by the transitive property, it is also a sandwich.

      When I go to the place this is about, thats just Red Sauce.

      It’s hot, like fucking real hot. Like make you reconsider your choices if you put it on your taco too liberally, but it’s so good.

    Things like this seem silly but there’s likely laws or protection that use sandwiches in their wording.

    Defining things you want them to apply to as sandwiches is easier than changing the law.

      Makes more sense than the time Indiana tried to define pi as 3.2. The only reason it didn’t was because a professor from Purdue was in Indianapolis on unrelated business and convinced Indiana’s senate to table the bill.

      Of course, we know today that such a thing couldn’t happen since Indiana’s legislature would laugh at the woke lib and pass it just to trigger him.

            I’m not sure if this particular article explained, but I live here. He signed an agreement that stated that “any food business allowed would be a ‘subway’ style food business”

            That’s the issue

            Edit: I’m a huge fan of this taco place, just stating what’s going on. I hate subway.

              That isn’t a law or zoning then, just some contract dispute.

          The article does not mention any sandwich specific laws, just contract stuff about what kind of restaurant can be in a strip mall.
