    It's honestly one of the "tamest" version of the French tacos, usually you'll have 3 kinds of meat (like chicken nuggets, ground beef and a cordon bleu) , veggies such as tomatoes and lettuce, fries and a lot of the cheese sauce. It's a caloric bomb and delicious

      @@daisyblooms4813 It's genuinely absurd how good it tastes, and 95% of the time you can customize it from a wide array of meats, veggies and sauces. (Or add gratin on top, or bacon or whatever you want).
      Now of course it's probably not that healthy (as is most junkfood) because it's insanely calorific, but my god does it taste good.
      It feels sacrilegious to eat because you genuinely wonder how that brick of food tastes that good.

    To clarify a few things. Tacos always is plural. It's a tacos not a taco. It was also invented in Lyon by Arab immigrants which explains why it's basically a wrap. You can fill them with a lot of different things (even cordon bleus), but you always need fries and a cheese sauce (unless you have dietary restrictions obv) to make it right. You'll add a second sauce of choice when you order them like curry, algerian, tzatziki, or mayo. And most places have other veggies and such you can slap in. (some add lettuce which is just wrong) I usually get mine with chicken tenders and curry sauce with bell peppers and caramelized onions.
    They aren't a taco, but they are a tacos and as frustrating as that can be when you first arrive here you'll find it's actually very easy to navigate if you just go to a mexican food place for a taco.

    -When in doubt, add more oyster sauce for the sweetness
    Other than that, looks good.

    I'm a French-Mexican dude, who also just finished culinary school in France.
    This curious invention, which is composed of a large flour tortilla, fries, cheese sauce and meat of your choice has nothing to do with the corn tortilla, chopped up meat, cilantro, onions, lime and fresh hot sauce taco that Mexicans eat. It's a much fattier, more rich sort of wrap that still debates its origins between two major cities in the Alps: Grenoble and Lyon.
    What is definitely in common, is that whether I'm in Mexico hanging out with my compadres drinking some tequila or ice-cold beers, or whether I'm in France with my potes downing cheap wine bottles in an apartment, either version of the "taco" or "tacos" will successfully cure your hangover like a god-damn champ, and that's all that matters.

    I'm so glad a non French youtuber finally made an almost perfect french tacos. Even if it's very controversial even here in France, it is one of the most famous street foods you can have (almost as popular as a kebab or a burger) and is very appreciated when you drink a lot of beer and other sort of spicy water or when you face the consequencies of such drinkng the next day. But beware where you eat it, most of the places making it are either not that great or even dangerous (rip to your bowels), they are only a few gems where they make delicious and super rich tacos, you have to know where's the good stuff.
    The only complaint on this version is that we add another sauce in addition to the cheese sauce, usually mayonnaise or any kind of sauce you would find in a kebab shop (algérienne an dbiggy burger are the best imo).

    In France, Belgium, and North Africa, French taco are the most popular fast food since 2017.
    Its main ingredients are:
    -Sauce: an array of international sauces like American, Brazilian, Andalous, etc. A brand called Nawhal’s is leading the french tacos market.
    -Meat: Plain Chicken, Chicken Tikka or curry, Ground beef, Nuggets, Tenders, Turkey, or Cordon blue.
    -Fries (cooked)
    -Bechamel sauce so that the french taco isn’t dry.
    -Wide Tortilla
    The inventor of French Tacos is unknown but some say it’s either a Moroccan or Algerian expat.
    Personally, I enjoy my french tacos with Tikka chicken with Biggy sauce (Also called big mac sauce).
    If you want to try authentic french tacos in France or Belgium, visit Tacos de Lyon, Pampam, or Tacos de Bruxelles as they are the most popular chain fast food restaurants for french tacos.

    There is an old French word, "tacot", that has the same pronunciation as "taco" (final T is silent, of course). It's a slang word for a rusty old car. It can also be used to mean taxi (even if it's a brand new car)
    To avoid confusion, I think French people would tend to say "tacoS", pronouncing the S even for a singular taco 🙃
