the tacos at el parasol (small local chain) are fried hardshell and i love them

We make hard tacos at home but order soft tacos from outside.
exactly the opposite in my kitchen -- i make tacos at least 3x/week but they are always corn tortilla with whatever available filling i happen to have. the only real taco tragedy here are tortillas that haven't been toasted and are functionally raw. no thx.
either way it seems to me that 'street tacos' are a term to help the taco-illiterate distinguish between types of tortilla before ordering them at a restaurant

Josh: at my nearest taqueria, "Mexican style" is their shorthand for saying that you only want onion, cilantro, and lime juice.
Their approach is generally Yucatecan, I think, but they'll make you an "American style" with lettuce and tomato.
I don't think I have had a hard-shell taco since maybe 1985 (Old El Paso, from the grocery store). So I guess for me, all tacos are soft tacos. As a result, I stopped saying "soft tacos." I just call them tacos. "Street tacos" is nonsense because I will happily eat a taco in any location.
"Street corn" is another matter. One can just say esquites if that's what you mean.

see what's funny is that in my experience, this is what you should get when you order a street taco, and what the taco trucks near me in Oakland used to sell as "tacos." Usually would come with a nice little bag of escabeche, too.

my god an image of a "founding father" that isn't congruent with the historical fact that america was foundationally a white supremacist ethnostate centered around on race-based chattel slavery

Some versions of the legend suggest that subsequent popes were subjected to an examination whereby, having sat on a so-called sedia stercoraria or 'dung chair' containing a hole, a cardinal had to reach up and establish that the new pope had testicles before announcing "Duos habet et bene pendentes" ("He has two and they dangle nicely"),[17] or "habet" ("he has them") for short.

They roped Steph Curry into slapping his name on this? It also says Norman Lear is producing and he even got higher billing than McFarlane, in spite of the fact he's dead.
