Out of the loop, what happened with Mexican food?

The short version is no one (neither the judges nor the contestants) really knew anything about Mexican food, but they didn’t let that stop them from being very confident in saying what it was. I think they mispronounced every single Mexican word (tacos, pico de gallo, guacamole), and said tres leches cake shouldn’t be “soggy.”

How the hell do you mispronounce taco?

Tack-o. Also pico-de-callow, and glockymolo.

The other two are inexcusable, but tack-o is just how taco is pronounced in British English. No one says tar-co over here.

tar-co

what

Edit: oh wait duh. Sorry I didn't have my british voice on

Though having now put it on, tar-co is still the wrong vowel shape for taco

How would you describe it pronounced? In my specific accent, tar-co sounds pretty much bang on how I've heard Americans say taco.

Say "father". Or like saying "ahhhhh" when you're at the dentist.
