Redirect to:

Off the Deep End

From a song: This is a redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist where the song is mentioned. Redirecting to the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable to redirecting to the artist when possible.
- There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
- For redirects of cover songs to the article about the original song, use {{R from cover song}} instead.
- For redirects of remixes to the article about the original song, use {{R from remix}} instead.

+{{R from song}}
-"'''Taco Grande'''" is a parody of [[Gerardo]]'s song "[[Rico Suave (song)|Rico Suave]]" written by [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]. It is about the narrator's cravings for [[Mexico|Mexican]] food and his visit to a fictional Mexican restaurant (revealed to be the ''Enrique's House of Salsa'' after translation). The song was recorded in 1992 and appears on Yankovic's albums ''[[Off the Deep End]]'' and ''[[The Food Album]]''.
+{{Authority control}}
-In 2007, [[Disney]] hired Tim Buppert to re-record "Taco Grande" for the film ''[[Ratatouille (film)|Ratatouille]]''.

-The following tracks are on the promo single:
-# "Taco Grande" &ndash; 3:44
-==Notes==
-*"Taco Grande" was one of Yankovic's few promo singles to be released without a coinciding commercial single.
-*The original inspiration for "Taco Grande" came from a close friend of Yankovic's, Marty Williams, who in a phone message told the parody artist, "You know, this 'Rico Suave' jazz could really sell as a parody. Maybe, 'Polla Fuerte' or 'Taco Grande', something ridiculous, man."
-*The [[liner notes]] of ''Off the Deep End'' state that the vocal cameo was done by actor [[Cheech Marin]].  His vocal cameo, when translated into English reads:
-{{cquote|Good evening, sir, and welcome to Enrique (Henry)'s House of Salsa.  We have many very delicious dishes. May I recommend the Burning Chicken from Hell as being very delicious.  Your eyes will burn... your stomach will be on fire... you'll be in the bathroom for a week! Do you understand what I'm saying, you stupid Gringo?}}
