I don’t think I’ve ever had a breakfast taco.
I’ve had all kinds of tacos — fish, beef, chicken, among other savory fillings — but never ones as unique as the San Antonio breakfast tacos that first lady Jill Biden alluded to Monday while speaking at the annual conference of Latino civil rights group UnidosUS.
The first lady, attempting to praise the Latino community’s diversity in America, said we’re “as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio.” She also mispronounced bodegas, New York City’s famed local grocery stores, and later apologized for the whole debacle. The gaffe was as cringeworthy as when her husband played the Spanish-language pop song “Despacito” at a Florida campaign appearance.
