I had a very good o'tacos once. Problem: it was somebody else's order they gave me by mistake, so I never quite knew what was in it.

This is the actual "reality" cooking show I've been wanting. It's a regular person making regular food with typical ingredients. I will definitely keep the sauce in mind for later. I have a lot of foods I can't eat, but that's something I think I can customize to my specifications. Also, this was great video to have going while I worked on a knitting project. Thank you!

Systems for cooking more at home is a great idea that I haven’t seen explored much on YouTube. Go for it, Ethan!

For those interested in learning of this French taco place: - O'Tacos is a French fast food chain founded in 2007. Headquartered in Montrouge near Paris, O'Tacos has restaurants all over France and has also expanded internationally: it is found in various cities of Belgium, Germany, Algiers in Algeria, Marrakesh and Agadir in Morocco, and Utrecht in the Netherlands. The chain specializes in "French tacos", a fast food dish that consists of a flour tortilla wrap with French fries, meat and cheese. - In 2007, Patrick Pelonero, Sliman Traoré, Samba Traoré and Sauroutou Diarra opened their first "French tacos" restaurant in Grenoble, in the Rhône-Alpes region where this French twist on a Mexican dish was pioneered. What are French tacos: - A French tacos[note 1] (French: tacos français [takos fʁɑ̃sɛ] or simply tacos[note 2]) also known as Lyon tacos (French: tacos lyonnais [takos ljɔnɛ]) or matelas[1] (French for "mattress") is a fast food dish which usually consists of a flour tortilla grilled and folded around a filling of French fries, cheese, and meat, among other deli ingredients. More similar to a burrito than to a taco, and claiming inspiration from Mexican cuisine, it originated from the region of Rhône-Alpes in France in the early 2000s, before becoming popular among teenagers and young adults in all of France and abroad. - Despite the name, the French tacos has little to do with tacos and is more similar to a burrito or quesadilla. French tacos have also been compared to the panini and the döner kebab sandwich, and is similar to the California burrito.

I actually like seeing the minor mistakes when you cook live. That helps me to know that it's normal to have things not go perfectly when cooking, and learn what an experienced cook will do to handle the slip-ups. It doesn't make me feel less confident in you, it makes me feel better about my own skills!
@ibrahimdiaby3063
For the sauce algérienne you can add garlic powder and something like diced onion or shallot to take it to another level (a lil bit of honey and ginger powder for a bitter sweet take) 😊
@ZekeMe0ut
I think it's important to understand that fast food un general is badly viewed by a part of the french population. Specially kebabs and French Tacos (which are kind of a variationof the former). That and the fact that is something we eat mostly when we are out late at night when we are either very hungry and/or very drunk. That explains for me all the answers that you got. Honestly, it's just fast food, the younger generation seems to love it.

O'tacos is pretty average and depends on location, quality varies widely between locations and sadly the all around quality has gone down over the last few years. What you made is miles ahead of any fast food Tacos, but it's missing the ingredient that makes french tacos, french tacos, the weird sauce as you described in the video is the "sauce fromagère" aka cheese sauce, which is essentially macaroni and cheese sauce. Without the cheese sauce it's not really a French tacos, it's more of a grilled wrap with fries in it.
@hugojacquemont7123
The fact you made your own O'Tacos and Algerian sauce is very much a testament to your commitment to immersion in French food culture. This Parisian tips his hat to you
@RoryMag
I have been to Morocco twice where French Tacos are popular, and I have to say I love them, even from the chain stores. I have also made them myself, and I agree they are better homemade, but sometimes you can't compete with the convenience and price from the chains. In Morocco from Tacos de Lyon you can get 2 tacos, fries and soft drinks delivered for $7. Or going to a random food place I've see tacos and fries, for as little as $1.50, but generally in the $2.50-$3.50 range.

Hey man! American living here in Spain for around 7 years. I heard you mention the tortilla selection being bare in France. You should find cuisine specific stores that sell stuff like that. I bought my corn tortillas the other day at Latina/ African mini market. Same with things like garam masala, won’t find it in Carrefour but if you go to the shops in neighborhood with immigrants from those areas, you’ll find it. Been watching your videos for a while now and you’ve given me and my girlfriend so many great recipes. One of the best has been your halal kart kebab plate! Straight 🔥🔥
@sdegueldre
The reason there aren't any greens on the menu is that it's supposed to be dense af. There's a reason people sometimes call it a mattress or a brick. Also, tacos are typically more a lunch option, when you're on your lunch break from work or school, where you can't really cook instead. You get some otacos and then slump on your desk for the rest of the day. Good times!

If you're looking for the same green at home, maiche is also known as lamb's lettuce in English.

Nothing is perfect and when you show the "mistakes" that happen along the way it's much more relatable and in the end it's learning for yourself and the viewers as well. I really liked this style of video from you.
@ThimoReumerman
It's amazing to see how far this channel has come. I saw your channel in a comment on Pro Home Cooks almost 3 years ago and subbed when you had around 1k subs. It's a million now, time goes fast. Congrats man, you deserve it!
@juanzambrano2944
Most of the systems I use for cooking at home come from the videos I see, just having unfrozen meat out of the freezer a few days in advance or having some diced up scallions just make me want to cook more often, makes my life easier and helps at home with my work schedule.
@Conorator
I like how he dropped a tomato on the floor and just put it back in the dish without saying anything.
@lovechildmag
dude... I love your stuff and I get your audience is mostly people from the US, but you're in the country with arguably the most influential cuisine in the world... and there's a reason why you went there! I want to see your take on Coq au vin, filet mignon, escargot, chicken cordon bleu, french onion soup, the baked goods..... the list is endless
