An Indiana judge has just handed down a controversial ruling that is making people feel all kinds of ways: Tacos and burritos are sandwiches. And he’s just factually incorrect.

According to Merriam-Webster, a sandwich is either “two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between.” So I guess we can conclude that a hot dog is a sandwich but nowhere in the definition does it imply that it relates to tacos or burritos.

If there was ever a time for the left to scream cultural appropriation, this is it.

According to WISH:

In 2019, commercial developer Martin Quintana sought a zoning change for a strip mall. To avoid remonstrators from residents in the Covington Creek Condominium Association, Quintana agreed to written commitments — including one about restaurants — with the neighbors to get the plan commission’s approval. It worked.

In 2022, Quintana made plans for The Famous Taco to open in his Quintana Plaza strip mall.

The neighbors cried foul but worked out an amendment to the written commitments to allow the restaurant. The plan commission, though, didn’t approve of the amendment. Quintana then sought a judge’s review.

The commission said that tacos and burritos don’t fall under the category of “‘made-to-order’ or ‘subway-style’ sandwiches” but clearly, they have never heard of Chipotle.

In his ruling, the judge wrote, “The proposed Famous Taco restaurant falls within the scope of the general use approved in the original Written Commitment. The proposed Famous Taco restaurant would serve made-to-order tacos, burritos, and other Mexican-style food, and would not have outdoor seating, drive through service, or serve alcohol. The Court agrees with Quintana that tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches, and the original Written Commitment does not restrict potential restaurants to only American cuisine-style sandwiches.”

It’s still factually incorrect to call them “Mexican-style sandwiches” because tortas already exist. So while I agree that they may fall under the category of made-to-order, the judge had no right to blankety label them sandwiches and probably could have ruled correctly without making it so controversial.

SCOTUS may need to decide on this one.
