An Arizona woman went on an unhinged rant against a taco restaurant because it is owned by two white brothers.
Lily Kaplan torched Poolboy Taco in Phoenix after sampling the Mexican eatery's nachos and soft tacos.
She shared a blistering review with her 21,000 TikTok followers earlier this month slamming the quality of the food and taking aim at owners Jared and Aaron Pool.

In Maricopa County, you can't kick a can into the wind without hitting a taco shop. Regardless of the owner's ethnicity, some are really good, some are really bad, and most are indistinguishable from the competition
And Karen is a racist.
AWFUL!
You go all out with the taco theme. You must have great buffet parties.
I used to go to a Mexican restaurant in Palo Alto, Ca, Riviera Del Mar, that specialized in what they called Mexican Riviera cuisine, the Southern Gulf coast.
Very different from the more common food, which tends to feature border style.
Look at me, look at me. I’m a crazy person and I need to be noticed. I want what Andy Warhol promised me.
I’ll be checking them out. Repeatedly.
I love tacos.
When I went to MIT—having grown up in Southern Arizona—I got some Mexican food. It included black beans.
That surprised me, because Arizona and Sonoran food only included pinto beans.
Since then, I’ve had New Mexico and Texas-style Mexican food as well. But I still prefer Sonoran and Arizona Mexican food!
Twice a year: April 31 and September 31. :-)
My uncle, who moved to Texas and had the Green Bay South grapefruit ranch with the Mexican border practically in his back yard, introduced us to fajitas about 1965...still love ‘em!
Exactly, most of what this Karen is calling “cultural appropriation” is literally a blend of Eurpoean and Meztizo cooking — aka “Tex-Mex”.
Fajitas — started with cattle drives
Nachos — literally a Texas baseball team
Anything involving wheat, most famously the Jewish invention of the flour tortilla (for Passover)
Heck, tequila was Spanish invention using native blue agave.
Most Mexican beer owes its origins to German immigrants (hence why it’s mainly lagers)
This bitch is not only a Karen; she’s a stupid Karen.
,,, with 21k TikTok followers. It just keeps getting...
She’s really gonna be pissed about all the Chinese restaurants owned by Koreans.
The local Filiberto’s chain used to sell excellent chili rellenos until the owner got sick and had to sell out.
My Arizona but white Mom, back in the 1960s, filled a suitcase full of flour tortillas to take with us to where the USAF had stationed my Dad: Iceland. Back then, you could not buy flour tortillas outside the SW US.
IIRC, she loved Chinese food, Italian food, French food, Mexican food, Southern food. Didn’t like English food, but then, neither do the English.
I grew up in Southern California, and when we moved to Arizona I was delighted to discover another variety of Mexican food—Sonoran. I enjoy both styles.
