The tacos you saw are a riff on kebab. They are tacos in name only. ( TINO if you like )

  I noticed there were French tacos (TINOs), but it seemed like the "taco" popularity was leading to a few closer-to-Tex-Mex taco places as well. This was around the Bastille, so maybe hipster culture? Overall, a decent attempt, but the salsa was a miss (no cilantro? and not sure what they did to the tomatoes) and the seasonings were still very French. The irony is afaict, France has all of the ingredients needed. In typically amazingly-fresh-and-delicious French fashion. But hey, it was still a better take than the Italian Tex-Mex I had in New England -- cinnamon on tortilla chips?!

    Cinnamon on plain tortilla chips is pretty rough, but if they fried the tortillas first you'd have yourself a delicious buñuelo :)

    Good observation… I haven’t lived in Paris since a while but it’s often the same place that serve kebab doing tacos. And most of them put a accent on the meat rather than the fresh stuff around it ( unlike the far superior German kebab )
