Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.
Right now, here’s the rules:
- Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
- It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
- No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.
How to tag:
To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz
Here are the current tags:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.
- OC - You made this cursed food yourself!
- Meta - Relating to the community itself.

(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

What was ordered?
Google says that's El Patron in Waterloo Iowa, the menu shows "Pollo Fundido" which says it's covered in American cheese, so 🤷
Some other things on the menu look pretty good tho.
So OP... got what they ordered?
Can confirm, a restaurant near me serves a Pollo Fundido that looks exactly like this. Honestly it's pretty good but I have trash taste.
I just get gringo tacos - hard shell, ground beef, cheese and salsa. No shame and I know what I like.
Its Mex-Ameri-trash Fusion!
Triple the price
"Pollo Fundido" translates to "Melted Chicken" in case anyone was wondering.
