“tacos made by white people for white people”
Thank you, Dallas has slowly added more and more of these types of places and people who moved there from other places didn’t understand what I meant when I said “white people tacos”
as a white person, white people should not own taco shops.

Joyal's Liquors in West Warwick has a great whisky selection (especially bourbon). Buying good whisky these days is not for the faint of heart. Prices are crazy right now.

Worst thing that can happen is nothing. If anything, take pictures of the area as well.

Do you think I have any chance of that going anywhere? I went out this morning and could follow the fluid line down Olney for blocks!

Good! Probably the closest thing to TexMex I’ll find.
I had COVID in 2020 and it screwed up my smell and taste, still struggle with it. Haven’t been able to eat chicken since, so I always go with cheese enchiladas now. I was so shocked that they have them on the menu there, literally nowhere here does.
Only complaints: they need to learn what cumin is, and work on the enchilada sauce. It tasted like it came straight out of the can.
I feel like I’m kinda having some culture shock here lol. I grew up Catholic—white Catholics in the rural south are not common. I went to catholic school for 10 years and most of my teachers had recently immigrated from Mexico or Honduras, and we were taught Spanish starting in pre-k to aid with the language barrier.
When I went to public school in HS, the white southern baptist parents didn’t want their kids hanging out with a catholic because they didn’t understand the difference between saints and gods. 😂 Every time someone found out I transferred from catholic school, they’d say “but you’re not Mexican???” So 90% of my friends were Mexican, most being anchor babies (not sure if this is the socially acceptable term, correct me if not) or dreamers.
Mexican culture has had a huge presence in my life for as long as I can remember, so food aside, this is a difficult adjustment. 🥲 Again, I’m white and I don’t like, identify myself with the culture, so naturally I just didn’t think it would be an issue when I moved.
Sorry for the rant - homesick and my vyvanse just kicked in. 😂 One more question tho: are there any fruterias around here?

Great Northern on the west side is overlooked here.
damnvanc t1_itco3s6 wrote
Maybe someone posted... But Great Northern is pretty decent for northern BBQ also. Better prices than Durk's.

I think Inskip has one on Bald Hill Rd. in Warwick. But I'd also put in a claim with the city.

You guys do have it rough. No money means no teach...well. The students and the teachers are getting milked. Not sustainable.
