A Court Ruled Tacos Are Sandwiches
We might have the answer to a question you never asked: Are tacos SANDWICHES? A judge in Indiana just ruled on it this week.
A man named Martin Quintana has been trying to open a taco place in a strip mall in Fort Wayne. But he ran into some red tape thanks to a contract that limits the type of restaurants allowed.
It says you can only open a place that sells "made-to-order or subway style sandwiches." So he sued, claiming tacos and burritos ARE sandwiches. (The contract was designed to prevent big fast-food chains from moving in.)
His case has been making its way through the legal system, and a superior court judge just ruled on Monday . . . that YES, they're sandwiches.
There could still be an appeal, and the next judge might disagree. But he ruled that tacos and burritos are basically just "Mexican-style sandwiches."
