Tacos El Yaqui Closed by Health Dept: Horse Meat
Word around around Rosarito Beach is the beloved Tacos El Yaqui has been closed by the Department of Health and is no more. An on-site test of the
meat they were using came back as Horse. Apparently that heavy handed seasonings they used contained a lot of meat tenderizers too. They sure tasted
good though.
A local man was caught stealing a horse, and said he was going to butcher it for meat...
Can anyone confirm?

So is it illegal to eat horsemeat in Mexico- or is the crime here not disclosing what people are being served?

Well...what do they do with a dead horse? I can't ever remember seeing a horse grave.
If, in your Baja travels, you come upon a taco stand with the name, Sr. Eduardo, just drive on by.

Picky, picky, picky health dept. My Mom could not afford beef during WW II (and it often was not available), so we ate horse meat from the pet
store for special occasions----------excellent meat-------loved it!!.

Well, I don't know about Tacos Yaqui, but horsemeat is legal for human consumption in Mexico, and is sold everywhere. So is burro and mule meat. I've
had it, it's not bad, just kinda stronger tasting, like venison. Horsemeat is eaten in France. The main dish is steak tartare, which is finely chopped
raw horsemeat.

Burro tartare is very popular in TJ. Sold off the street in and around Revolution.
Raw egg is extra.

The US has never embraced horsemeat. In fact, the last horse processing plant in the US closed last year. Even when they were operating, they were
strictly for export. I won't attempt to question arrowhead's post about France. but, I do know that from an encyclical promulated over a century ago,
Catholics were entreated to avoid horsemeat.

Whoa Big Boys... We haven't even got confirmation it's closed yet. Maybe you have to have a licensed jockey prepare horse and they will re-open. Can
horsemeat really be that much cheaper than beef? That place didn't close until it ran out of food every day. Always busy and a must-stop for many
Baja Nomads.
This board seems fine that Tacos El Jaqui would serve horesmeat for tacos so long as you have a picture of Mr. Ed prominently displayed on the menu.
I prefer to take the Col. Sherman T Potter view: "A horse is a noble animal." When I can't afford a Mexican taco made with beef I'll stop eating
them.

Our boy Handy thinks the entire idea of eating members of his brotherhood stinks.
I remember my mom buying horsemeat at the petstore for our St. Bernard when he was fighting some type of sickness. I've had to put a horse down, his
meat was donated to a wild animal refuge.
I don't like the idea of horses butchered just for their meat. Sent to the glue factory because they didn't run fast enough. Cashed out for insurance
money if they didn't end up in the winner's circle.
End of rant.
I don't think they are stupid animals, but then again I'm partial. Regarding comparing them to cows; I've never seen a cow be a member of the Olympic
Team, or preform in an elegant Dressage presentation, or clear 8' jumps in a Stadium jumping competition. Cows roping cows? I'd like to see a cow do
it better than Handy.
Modeling for dental advertisements? That might be a good calling for Handy when we have to retire our boy vs. serving his up in a torta.
Back on topic, Mr. Ed was/is one of my favorite shows. I'd rather go hungry than munch down on horse.
