Don Taco (Mario Valdez Juarez) is somewhat of an institution in his neighbourhood: In his puny taco stand he makes the best tacos in town, but he also always has an open ear for the locals and their problems ... and the locals love him ... but not so food inspector Tomas (Ronin Rodarte), who has all kinds of concerns regarding the health regulations of Don Taco's stand ... but that's probably mainly to properly bribe him ...

Maria (Claudia Vazquez) lives right above where Don Taco has his stand, so she comes across him all the time ... and within time, he has grown very attached to her. Maria's boyfriend Luis (Eric Feliciano) is a no-good petty criminal who always promises her to get a decent job sometime soon, but the only thing he actually does is helping Tomas with his schemes to spy out Don Taco to extort more money from him. Eventually, Maria receives an eviction notice, and while Luis has nothing better to say than "I'll take care of everything" - a promise he has made a few times too often to still sound believable -, Don Taco promises to really help out ... if she accepts his invitation for dinner at his place that night, no strings attached of course. Maria has little choice but to accept, but there's a problem, Don Taco has a dim-witted brother (Rene Rodriguez) who's madly in love with Maria (as is Don Taco) ...

Oh, and there's yet another problem, actually: The meat Don Taco uses for his tacos is actually human flesh, and Maria's boyfriend Luis has just earned himself a spot on the menu ...

 

Carne the Taco Maker is I have to admit a less than perfect film: It suffers from a slow start, a few too many irrelevant scenes just to bring the movie to feature length, and some of the humour is too pointlessly over-the-top to actually work - but while it might not be the best feature ever shot, it works more than well as a party movie, with all the right elements firmly in place, crude humour, quite a bit of violence (though nothing too explicit), plenty of grotesque scenes, and just the right over-the-topness that's best enjoyed beer in hand.

So no greatness here, just great fun!
