The Halal Taco Truck Uniting Muslim and Latino Communities
Ойын-сауық
In the season finale of FOOD HEROES, we meet Rida Hamida, the driving force behind Latino Muslim Unity and the innovative #TacoTrucksAtEveryMosque initiative, a taco truck serving halal tacos outside mosques.
Motivated by her own experiences with prejudice as the first hijab-wearing woman to work in public office in conservative Orange County, Rida was determined to create a movement that would bring marginalized communities together to cultivate unity and understanding.
#TacoTrucksAtEveryMosque creates a safe haven where "breaking bread by tortilla" becomes a celebration of shared values among communities. The tacos serve as a savory platform for educating communities, dispelling stereotypes about Muslim and Latino communities, and fostering resilient, empathetic connections between these often-misunderstood cultures.

My neighbors are muslim and last year i met them on the stairs on Eid (the last day when the fasting is over) having huge trays and whole lots of food. I said Eid Mubarak to them an they smiled and said bless you .. about an hour later there was a knock on my door and i was greeted by their two youngest daughters and the father holding two MASSIVE plates of food for me. I literally could not eat all of it in one sitting so i had free food for two days

What ? The food is clearly worse. Tacos al pastor are one of the best items in mexican cuisine. Why compromise that just because some guys prefer not to eat pigs and cruely slaghter animals by hand.
Bringing people together, rather than dividing them. 💜💜💜

Perfect! There is a long tradition of Middle Eastern and Mexican intersection. Al pastor comes from Lebanese refugees coming to Mexico city, bringing vertical spit cooking to Mexican cuisine. The mexicans swapped lamb for pork... but kept the name of the lamb dish and boom... classic.

Central American ingredients got spread all over the world and became intrinsic parts of "local" foods as far away as China, Vietnam, Thailand, India... its so cool that food from another part of the world influenced them as well. The way specific foods have spread all over the world is just so cool to me.

Such an amazing series - loved every story! Brava to all the Food Heroes in this series and beyond the spotlight❤
So, are they also doing substitutions for the pork favorites like chorizo and carnitas?
I remember that “Taco trucks on every corner” message. Sounds wonderful to me. Halal tacos, even better. This entire series is great. Loving every second.
I applaud Rida’s courage and drive 👏👏👏

They should also start doing da'wah program. If Christians can promote Jesus's words all over youtube comment section and facebook, Muslims can promote Da'wah.
I wish this got more representation as Hot Ones does!
This is fantastic! Build community community power!
Those look so good, and doing good in the process!
if you want a good halal Mexican/Lebanese food then i recommend FATIMAS Grill in Downey CA.

Two of my favorite food groups, tasty and folded.
Just like the case with Chinese cuisine , In the region of Northwest of China , which the food flavour profile are more adopting the Central Asia profile , incorporate lamb meat the most and not the pork , which people always stereotyping that Chinese cuisine as porkcentric
This is amazing mashaAllah!!!

I think at this point in our world, tacos are more comparative to sandwiches as an international mode of food consumption. More so then moving from where they originated, to a couple hundred miles north, smh...:(
first halal tacos, now halal cumbia
I want halal tacos now. open after sunset for a few hours. then I can take them to the family.

If you look up the history of the Iberian peninsula you will find that the "Moors" or muslim people ruled in Modern day Spain, Portugal, and France during the middle ages. This long time period spanning multiple centuries for surely led to the mixing of cultures which is why in the spanish culture there are arabic influences as evident in the food and words similarities.
