The average pronunciation hereabouts is pretty good - as are the tacos.
Tina may or may not know. Tacos are, or were, Mexican. Pronunciation of Spanish
varies even within Mexico. Central
American Spanish is slightly different, and the cadence, at lease in Costa
Rica, is quite different.
Having been married to a native speaker of Mexican Spanish, visited family
there many times and done a lot of business
trips there, I know how to pronounce most foods correctly. :-)
My half Hispanic son speaks even less than I do.
