WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden celebrated Cinco de Mayo on Friday by stepping out for a quesadilla and tacos at a Washington food hall. His unannounced visit prompted one onlooker to remark, “This is the most D.C. thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Biden was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris at Taqueria Habanero, in the Edgewood neighborhood of the capital. The president paid in cash for his order and posed with staff for pictures. Aides said Biden ordered a chicken quesadilla and churros, as well as an assortment of tacos for White House staff. To the people peering over a wall and looking down from their apartment balconies to see him, the president joked, “Don’t jump.”

Quesadillas and tacos are really not all that popular in Puebla, Mexico. Here’s what is ...
Mole Poblano
Pipian Verde
Pipian Rojo
Chiles en Nogada
Tacos Arabes
Chalupas
Cemitas
Pelonas
That’s what I understand.
Mexicans drink Modelo. By the truckload. It was, up to recently, the No. 2 best selling beer in the US, after Bud Light. That may change now.
Nothing says ‘unannounced visit’ like reporters and cameras. So tired of media bullshit.
No breakfast tacos from the BO-de-gaz?
Shush - it’s (D)ifferent.
Saying it’s “unannounced’ just gives Biden cover when he says stupid and wrong things.
Do any Mexicans in Mexico actually celebrate this obscure day? I guarantee Chomo Joe has no idea what happened May 5th 1863
In 1912, the President of Mexico visited England for a diplomatic meeting...While there, he ate a sandwich with a condiment on it he had never tasted...
He loved it....He loved it so much, he ordered 1000 cases of the condiment to be shipped to his country...he wanted his people to be able to taste it...
On the way over, the ship carrying the condiment, which was mayonnaise, hit an iceberg and sank...It was the Titanic!!!!
The President felt so bad, he declared a holiday....
SINKO DE MAYO.....
I pasted it again...LOL
..and breakfast tacos.
Hardly any. It's more popular here in the US where, much like Mardi Gras and St Patrick's Day, has been turned into an excuse by non-Mexicans to get wasted and as an opportunity for retailers and politicians to pander to Mexican-Americans.
In America it’s national hoagie day. I’m making meat ball Subs tonight:-)
Biden ordered a chicken quesadilla and churros
= = =
Just what were his actual words?
He mumbled, and it was interpreted as ‘chicken quesadilla and churros’?
‘chicken quesadilla and churros’ kind of sounds like ‘quit messing around and kiss me’.
“Isn’t this cultural appropriation?”
It’s cultural misappropriation.
Usually, imitation is the best form of flattery. But no one is flattered by the first dunce and his accomplice.
Isn’t that cultural appropriation or some other such horse hockey?
I’s bet a month’s beer money they won’t be serving it with Negra Modelo.
Was Despacito playing in the background?
This White Boy celebrates Cinco de Mayo every night. I go to bed with my Mexican wife from Mexico, as do a lot of other white boys here in Texas go to bed with their Mexican wives.
Texans got over this racism crap a long time ago.
