taco-scurvy

a deep sadness and longing caused by a lack of restaurants with good tacos, characterized by sadness at meals and general malaise. Became common in the 21st century as more people from California migrated to the population centers of the globe that are barren wastelands of great Mexican food.

I talked to Josh today, he sounded really off, took a while to get to the bottom of it, he is suffering from taco-scurvy. Amsterdam is a barren wasteland when it comes to good Mexican food. He should get on the first flight back to LA.
