After eliminating Cruz Azul in the Concaf Champions Cup, Los Angeles FC lived up to expectations on the field. But no one expected the most talked-about moment to come minutes later, far from the stadium. There, Son Heung-min appeared relaxed and smiling while holding a taco.
street taco moment
Around the Estadio Cuoutomoc, Son was spotted trying a street taco, as spontaneous as it was authentic, and kept his composure, praying for his stomach. His expression didn’t need translation. The surprise, fun, and smiles said everything about the taste.
Many people found it interesting because of the way he carried himself and the way he ate, and he seemed to know exactly what he was doing. As if it wasn’t my first time eating authentic Mexican tacos. From high-level international matches to daily scenes in Mexico, only top athletes who understand the connections between people enjoy moments like these like mere fans.
The city wasn’t just a venue, it was part of the experience. The presence of LAFC supporters and a different atmosphere made Puebla an important part of the story both inside and outside the stadium. LAFC advanced with authority, Son leaving his mark and Taco doing the rest. Because after winning a tournament to survive, there’s no better way to celebrate than with something real, simple, and authentic: corn tortillas, meat, and salsa.
