So, this one literally means: to put a lot of cream on your tacos 🌮
But it ISN’T about over-garnishing your food…
In Mexican Spanish, echarle mucha crema a tus tacos means something like:
👉 to brag or exaggerate your achievements
➡️ to exaggerate the facts when telling a story
🌪️ When to whip it out
Whenever someone’s telling a story and you suspect they’re inflating the details or straight-up showing off:
Siempre le echa mucha crema a sus tacos cuando habla de su trabajo.
He always brags when he talks about his job.
Le echas mucha crema a tus tacos, wey.
You’re full of it, man.
