This story and all of L.A. TACO's Arts coverage is sponsored by Nikos Constant. There’s a never-ending, generational rant / diatribe / soliloquy among certain “Hispanics” about the trials and travails of being bicultural.

It began with an April Fool’s Day joke. For 24 hours this year, L.A. TACO became IE TACO.
