I first became aware of the new Plaza District taco joint Mexican Radio, 1734 N.W. 16th—named after the analog ode to the eating of “barbequed iguana” by Wall of Voodoo—after a press release by Good Egg CEO Keith Paul was released earlier this year.
In it, he described the concept of Mexican Radio as food items that are “rooted in Tex-Mex” but then goes on to make it clear that it’s “not a taqueria.” Additionally, he claimed that he didn’t want to get into the whole “that’s not real Mexican” debate, effectively shutting up Latinos that would have anything to say about their brand of “non-denominational tacos” for the—ugh—“MTV generation.”
