I don’t know how I feel about calling tacos “French”. I mean, yah you can only find them in France, but the dish itself is anything but French. Kebab joints have them and their cuisine is typically halal. I’m not sure how/when kebabs grew in popularity here in France, but they are everywhere now! I’ve been living in France for the past 8 years and I first noticed the word “taco” about 4 years ago. My first thought was: “Sweet, Mexican food it’s making its debut in France!”...nope, it wasn’t anything like a the tacos I’m familiar with! Tacos themselves are pretty interesting, and highly customizable. Want a taco with sausage and cordon bleu? You got it. Want to stuff it with more meat? How about donor kebab with a hamburger patty and nuggets? Your options are endless. Its standard to have fries inside them (with some sort of white sauce). I have had some that are quite tasty. But make no mistake, it’s pure junk food. I’d love to know why they call them “tacos”. One thing I will note, kebabs are always open. I equate them to your typical Mexican joint you go to with your friends for a midnight snack. Seriously, I have never seen a kebab restaurant closed. You gotta be careful, though. There’s little to no health inspection at these places and I’ve heard some bad kebab stories.
