Multiple species of onions are native to North America and were used both as food and medicinally prior to European colonization.
They were originally from either the Middle East or Asia and were brought in during the Columbian exchange. I won't deny there might be other New World variants that I'm unaware of though.
This is fascinating. Use of onions predates writings IIRC. Which means we don't have written record of any culture encountering it for the first time unlike say, oranges.
Explain... The only things there unrelated to the Spaniards invading are the fish, maize, and pulpo.
Here's a news article about him https://www.kqed.org/arts/13925233/pre-hispanic-mexican-cuisine-indigenous-mayan-food-truck-taco-truck-san-jose
Varguez considers his menu the rebirth of the food of his ancestors. The dishes come in a familiar format — tacos, burritos and quesadillas. But almost every item features pre-colonial ingredients and techniques that set them apart from your typical taco truck.
Except for the ingredients I and several others mentioned. It's a marketing gimmick.
I'm sure they tasted great.
Yeah they're amazing, I try to go whenever he comes near my city, the huitlacoche mushroom ones are really good but he didnt have any this time

Rotating shaved meat inevitably traces back to Anatolia. Every time you think there was independent discovery, nope, immigration. If Lewis and Clark had reported the Chinook peoples of the Pacific Northwest cooked "great meat columnf shaved into cream & cucumber curry," we would inevitably discover some medieval Anatolian merchant got unfathomably lost sailing home from India, leaving a minuscule lineage of thin-sliced bison and unusually strong moustaches.
