  • I don’t have a solid answer for what is considered authentic, but growing up in California there are a few things I look for.

    • Is the salsa tasty with a nice balance of spice and aromatics? Great chips are a plus, but making them in house is a PITA so I assume most restaurants use a vendor
    • Rice and beans are actually delicious. I prefer refried
    • trying to remember the last time I had tacos served in a flour tortilla but that would be a red flag. Corn tortillas should be the default or only option
    • weird one but I trust a place that does traditional food cost pricing more. $11.40 enchiladas vs $11.25 where the pricing is less rounded



  • California has a huge labor shortage. It is extraordinarily expensive to live near any major population center. Agriculture is a huge industry, but many service, hospitality industries, etc. still need and require people living near big areas where the average housing price is 500k+ (this is including 1-2 commute to achieve that price excluding our high gasoline costs)

    Who the fuck can sustainably work at or near minimum wage with those costs, paying full taxes.

    This is an attempt at a labor policy that keeps all tech people happy they get can go out to dinner on Tuesday night.
