Indiana judge rules tacos and burritos are, in fact, sandwiches
The ruling stemmed from a legal battle between a developer with plans to open a Mexican restaurant and a local zoning commission.


By Gerardo Pons, NBC Washington
Are tacos and burritos sandwiches? A judge in Indiana thinks so.

The ruling stems from a legal battle that started in 2022, when Martin Quintana, a developer, unveiled plans to open his restaurant, “The Famous Taco Mexican Grill,” on a strip mall in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The Allen County Planning Commission rejected his bid to open the eatery, citing a written commitment that Quintana had accepted. According to the agreement with a local condo association, only alcohol-free restaurants that did not allow outdoor seating and only sold “made-to-order or subway-style sandwiches” were allowed to open at the location.

The agreement was put in place to keep some national fast-food chains from opening at the strip mall, according to court documents obtained by NBC affiliate WPTA.But after over two years of legal battles, Judge Craig Bobay from the Allen County Superior Court ruled Quintana’s original plans would be permissible based on the original commitment.

So happy to see our courts are tackling the most important issues facing our country.

I can see both sides of the argument. Albeit in my estimation, stupid. But I think this really just boils down to the judge getting free tacos for life.

I think the judge just recognized how fucked up it is to only allow a "subway style sandwiches" restaurant. What kind of basic fucking losers are running this condo association?

I'm sure this was the hoity-toity condo owners not wanting the strip mall bringing in fast foods and various hot-served food restaurants venting off ovens stoves etc into the atmosphere. Only deli-style cold cuts and cold foods. We wouldn't want to ruin the condo owner's tea and toddy time on the balcony.

If the Touhy's lived there you can bet there would be a taco bell. And they would actually serve God damn chili cheese burritos!

Judge Bobay's decision was surely influenced by the taco burger at Taco Via.
