I moved to Germany 6 months ago from Northern Virginia so we could be together and, while I certainly enjoy German food, the Hispanic food I grew up eating is pretty hard to find in our region. Lately I’ve been beginning to notice all the things I miss about home, but today, after another long shift at work, I came home to her preparing a couple of perfect chicken burritos. She reminds me every day why I moved here. #bestgirlfriendaward

There used to be 2 pretty decent "mexican" restaurants in the Kaiserslautern / Lanstuhl area. Don't recall their names.
necr0politan
One is cantina Mexicana and the other is primavera Mexican restaurant. Lived outside of Kaiserslautern for 5 years

Moved to Romania to be with my husband. I miss tacos so bad.

I take Mexican food for granted liv my in CA. Never actually thought about it’s lack of availability in places like Germany.

Is she single? *Guffaw*

Marry her quick

Cantina Mexicana in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Pretty darn good for Mexican food you get in Germany! Now I just need doner her in Arkansas.

North Virginia. Hispanic food. Does not compute.

So... any food you eat is technically Hispanic food?
dudeindeutschland
I was referring to the food I grew up eating at home, with my Hispanic family. And you’d actually be surprised.
Hustle4Lucifer
Mexican is latin food.
Mayyybe
@longbow192 Do they have tortillas in Alemania?
MyOtherShipIsAPython
I think so. Somewhere in a big supermarket.
thotadin
Honestly that's my fear of moving out of Miami. I'd miss all the Cuban food :C

You should wife her!

OMG! Felt like I was reading my own story. I’m Hispanic and moved to Berlin a month ago from Washington DC to be with my bf. MISS THE FOOD!
MrHailstone
Im german but no gf or al the money in the world would get me to move to the shithole that is berlin. I really hate this city.
berliwerpen
Where are you from so that you hate Berlin? ????
MrHailstone
From the North. Near lübeck
imgayrian
It’s not my favorite I’ll admit. But it’s temporary while we get our bearings then we can move :)
MrHailstone
Come to the North. People dont bother you here and we have Beaches and Korn.
imgayrian
How’s the job market? That’s the biggest issue. I need a job.
MrHailstone
Depends on what are you doing
Bhan0069
oh my god im also hispanic and moved to berlin a month ago from montana to be with my gf. MISS THE FOOD!

Kebap is Germany’s burrito. They’re amazing... just learn to adapt.

eh nope? 18 by default, 16 if a familiy court agrees, no way under 16y

SoEyeStoleATimelordAndRanAway
I see, we talked about different things: I thought this would be about legal marriage age (since this thread started as „wife her“) … sorry
professorfuzz
Plot twist she isn't....
professorfuzz
because she's legally been dead for 7 months and he has an elaborate puppet system in which her corpse cooks stuffs

I'd trade burritos for Döner any day of the week. I've yet to find a decent Döner in the US
StopCallingMeIAmNotYourBrother
I'm amazed, but we do have a really good Döner place in MD.
blueyedagger
I know your pain.
Hustle4Lucifer
Ive seen supersize v superskinny and this was a popular meal. Its really not a thing in the states
dudeindeutschland
I definitely wouldn’t put döner above burritos personally but yeah it’s pretty amazing. Im shocked it’s not a thing back in the states
imgur1z
There's a ton of real Turkish restaurant in Frankfurt and Berlin. But yeah you can't beat a SoCal burrito with that shit.
cowpaca
It's just a bid to get mexico to fight the americans, she'd have better luck stopping unrestricted submarine warfare
TheCalvinShow
Where are you from in NoVa @OP?
dudeindeutschland
I grew up in Fairfax
Mcmeman
Might I ask how you went about getting into Germany long term and how you went about getting a job?
dudeindeutschland
The biggest necessity I found was having an address in Germany that you can use to get your residency permit, that’s the first step
dudeindeutschland
Next you need to find a job, I was lucky to find an aviation mro company near my gf’s town so I applied there.
dudeindeutschland
Also I did the whole process in Germany, I found it much easier than doing it in the states
dudeindeutschland
Once you have an address and a job lined up you need to go to your nearest immigration office (in Germany) with the required documents
dudeindeutschland
Then the process will begin, they will communicate with your employer, and in my case it took 2-3 months

Authentic Hispanic food...in Northern Virginia? *laughs in Californian*
chiechien
I wonder if all of these Californian posters have ever even been out of their state.
ilovecake
I have. I’ve been to 6 other states: Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois, New York, New Jersey.
dudeindeutschland
I am Hispanic, and while NOVA might not be SoCal, finding a decent place for tacos is certainly easier in NOVA than Germany

Pro Tip: use a tortilla instead of Al foil. It is easier to digest
80percentlegs
A tortilla is necessary, yes, but the best style of burrito (Mission) also comes wrapped in foil. I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.
Almondmilkcheese
How you dare to have a taco on your profile and talk about the best burrito. Smh. The best style is the Mexican btw
80percentlegs
Fair point about my taco image. Regarding your burrito opinion...
LurkyMcLurker
"technically"
080080
so i guess you're not into authentic mexican food.
whynot2whyyes
biting into that Al foil is part of the experience...
stoatymcstoatface
Is Al keto??
doctorbees
Technically yes.
Mimsey
0 carbs, so yes.

What the fuck? What, you want the govt' to see into my stomach or something, lizard boy?
vorodar
But what if the government tries to mind control your stomach? *Eats a tinfoil hat with a burrito in it*

You made me snort.

Don't listen to them, OP. Eat the foil, tear up your insides. Become stronger. Become...metal.

it comes out as (very useful) ball bearings, though. it's like metal goat shit. chewing it is the hard part.

Loving the GIF. *steals*

Why would you chew metal goat shit?
secretagentdoubleobeaver
Cause it's hard to swallow without chewing
typeets
Nah, wash it down with water, goes down easy. Plus the bonus of having whole ball bearings helps break down food. Like a fucking sauropod
berliwerpen
Where do you live now in Germany?

We live right by the Mosel river in Rhineland Palatinate

Alright then it's no surprise there's not a lot of "exotic" food ;) you should move to Berlin!

Chipotle hasn't made it to Germany yet?
KingTrashmouth
There’s one in Frankfurt.
dudeindeutschland
From what I have found there is only 1 in the whole country, and it’s in Frankfurt which is a little too far from us
Un0riginalComment
Chipotle is like cafeteria Mexican food. Come to Arizona we have authentic Mexican food minus the horrible shits.
paulssisisssssii
Go to south of the Rio Grande for the real stuff
SKELETONMAAAN
We barely have any restaurant chains here. Mexican food is really unknown here. Since, yknow... they are not our neighbors.
SKELETONMAAAN
Tons of Turkish and Arab food though which is great stuff as well
WhyDoIEvenDoThisToMyselfIWantToDie
no we don't have taco bell either
TheRealAngelS
We do. Like, two or three. And I think they're on US military bases or something. But we do have 'em. xD
jumbosmooth
Bummer. I thought Germany was a civilized country :)
SKELETONMAAAN
(Also Germany and Europe in general is not fond of restautant chains)
SKELETONMAAAN
Yeah but like, Mexico is not our neighbor. We don't come in contact with SA food at all, who why would people be interested in it?
VioletMoonRising
It's because it is. Germany and most of europe have ALOT higher legal standards for food. Their mcdonalds are of higher quality cause of it
Deadmanwalkn
Not as tasty tho >.>
VioletMoonRising
The opposite. Lots of the ways the U.S preserve and grow ingredients is illegal in parts of europe.
CptRobotNinja
So like....youve never had tamales?
idontevenknowsillymonkey
Pretty sure there's at least 1 Taco Bell, but it's on a US military base. I researched the closest one to Australia and Germany came up.
whosagoodboy92
surely you have kfc or a moes
nrvagntsoleatr360
Everywhere has a KFC.
whosagoodboy92
probably goes great with some german beer

Fa sho. I know that when I think of Northern Virginia, my first thought is of the authentic Mexican cuisine.
rainbowmonkeybuttsurfer
Northern Virginia reminding you of Mexican food is almost a reason to build a wall-Trump Card

NOVA is really just an extension of DC, which has one of the best and most diverse food scenes in the country

I grew up in NOVA. Luckily, I still have family to visit there.
dudeindeutschland
1. I’m Hispanic 2. You’d be surprised 3. Even if NOVA isn’t exactly El Paso, it’s definitey easier to find it there than here in Germany bro
w0ntoan
I still can't find good tamales or Chile relleno tho
ihatechoosingausername
We've got some good ones here in RVA if you're ever a bit farther south!
KevinThereAreNoSafeSpaceys
I wish I had more upvotes for how much this made me laugh. Thank you.
destinoz
San Francisco mission style burritos, which seems to be what she made, aren't authentic Mexican no matter where you buy them.
NoWonderImStillAwake
Burritos as we eat them in the US aren't authentic Mexican. Try to find a burrito in Mexico with beans, rice, and cheese in them...
etcnotect
I thought all burritos have beans in them? Isn't that what a burrito is?
NoWonderImStillAwake
Nope, a burrito in Mexico is either just meat wrapped in a tortilla, or occasionally meat and cheese. The burrito as you know it is American
only90skidswillgetthis
This post feels extremely eerie because one of the things I miss most about Northern Virginia is the availability of authentic mexican food.
only90skidswillgetthis
It feels like targetted advertising
dudeindeutschland
At least someone here understands
StopCallingMeIAmNotYourBrother
The Mexican food I get in central Maryland is almost identical to what I got when I lived in Arizona.
StopCallingMeIAmNotYourBrother
The Mexican food I got in Germany was terrifying, so much semi-raw niblet corn in everything!
only90skidswillgetthis
Everything in Canada is just an airport version of Tex mex

Hmmmm I think more middle eastern food than Mexican...

kwbrown91
Thank you for pointing this out
RealMcCoy
There is both a large population of Hispanics and Koreans in NOVA. It was awesome because they had the best markets.
MadHakon
They are rich enough in NOVA that they can hire an authentic Mexican family to cook and clean around the house for them.
HighImpactSexualViolence
Man fuck NOVA. they give the whole rest of the state a shitty reputation. plus they get all the attention in gov.
bereafireman
There’s a lot of dirt poor there too.
Shirleybananas88
Im here near Leesburg on business and fuck, some of these neighborhoods are picture perfect. Where does all this money come from?
Creid233
From nearby Fairfax here. Those houses come from your tax dollars. NOVA's entire economy is built around the DC govt and contract companies.
Shirleybananas88
Well thanks for answering because I was curious
Creid233
TBF though, Leesburg is one of the destinations for the really affluent who don't want to live close to the city. Also McLean.
historyboeuf
Western Prince William County and Loudon Co are wonderful. Visit Manassas and you might rethink that lol. When conservatives talk MS13 1/2
historyboeuf
Its because of places like Manassas. Its not all bad but certainly not affluent
