Earlier today, Uber’s Mexican division made an announcement that has changed. the. game.

…In Mexico. They revealed that in certain areas — Saltillo, Torreón and Monterrey — they were launching UberTACOS.
Yep. Just like UberEATS, you call an Uber and a driver delivers food to you.

Many people, like this Instagram user, was skeptical. Until a driver showed up to her door with a big brown bag full of tacos.
“I thought it was a joke,” wrote @pauabisdris.
Once word got out, the service was a hit.

In Saltillo, there weren’t enough cars to fill the demand.
So what’s in the bag? For those in Monterrey, they got this nice little setup from La Mexicana Taqueria & Carniceria.
It comes with tacos (obviously), a bottle of water, salsa, plastic utensils (in case you eat tacos with those) and candy (that’s a nice touch, tbh).
Here’s what those tacos look like out of the bag. BTW, those are tacos de canasta (which are steamed in a basket), which is why they look nice and sweaty.
In Saltillo, they were blessed with tacos al pastor (succulent not included).
Si las buenas noches terminan con tacos, imagínense los días ?✨ #UberTACOS #UberSALTILLO

By the look on this señora’s face, it seems like the tacos were pretty good.
Although it will never replace the feeling of watching a taquero chop up meat in front of you (and preparing with a few swift moves), it sounds like a really good idea when you’re stuck at work and you’re tired of eating the same thing every day. So, someone, if not Uber, please find us a way to pay for taco delivery on our phones. Please?
