Taco Placero Lyrics in English PAQUITA LA DEL BARRIO
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Taco Placero by PAQUITA LA DEL BARRIO from Spanish to English.
Taco Placero
Market Taco
Pero que estupido fuiste
But how stupid you were
Resultaste poco hombre
You turned out to be not much of a man
Mira que hablar de una dama
To think you'd talk about a lady
Eso si no tiene nombre
That truly is unspeakable
Yo deberia callarme tal como lo hare una dama
I should shut up just like a lady would
Pero ahora van a enterarse
But now they're going to find out
Que eres un fiasgo en la cama
That you're a fiasco in bed
Yo tan acostumbrada a cenas suculentas
I, so used to succulent dinners
Yo me esperaba esa noche una merienda completa
I was expecting a full meal that night
Y resultates en el ruedo el peor de los toreros
And you turned out to be the worst bullfighter in the ring
Esa cenita contigo me supo a taco placero
That little dinner with you tasted like a market taco
Yo deberia callarme tal como lo hare una dama
I should shut up just like a lady would
Pero ahora van a enterarse
But now they're going to find out
Que eres un fiasgo en la cama
That you're a fiasco in bed
Yo tan mal acostumbrada a cenas tan suculentas
I, so spoiled by such succulent dinners
Yo me esperaba esa noche una merienda completa
I was expecting a full meal that night
Y resultaste en el ruedo el peor de los toreros
And you turned out to be the worst bullfighter in the ring
Esa cenita contigo me supo a taco placero
That little dinner with you tasted like a market taco

taco placero — market taco
Taco placero literally translates to "market taco." While a taco is a common food, a "taco placero" specifically refers to a simple, often rustic taco found in Mexican markets, typically filled with chicharrón, avocado, and cheese.
In this song, Paquita la del Barrio uses "taco placero" as a metaphor for a disappointing and unsatisfying experience. After expecting a "suculenta cena" (succulent dinner), the phrase implies that the romantic encounter was cheap, meager, and utterly underwhelming, far from the grand expectations she had.
