I love restaurants in the DMV. What do you mean you’re a Mexican and Lebanese fusion

Please take this down as I use it as my interesting taco fact every time I have tacos with someone for the first time and I don't want it to be common knowledge 😋

That makes sense!

New thing to add to my gratitude list. I take solace in the fact that even on my worst days, I will still be able to go to one of my local taco shops and get Al pastor and a bottle of coke.

Fun fact: there are approximately 8 million Lebaneses here in Brazil.
More than the Lebanese population on Lebanon!!

I never thought before about the Mexican-Lebanese food and I need it RIGHT KNOW 😅.

Why do people think America was the only country that ever had an immigrant? Like, 2 million people descended from Japanese immigrants live in Brazil.

Mexico was an immigrant magnet.

There used to be an international Cornish pasty festival that alternated between Hildalgo and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

In the 19th c., anywhere in the world, there was a hole in the ground there was a Cornishman at the bottom of it.
