And for me there is a difference between a breakfast taco and a breakfast burrito. A breakfast burrito is just a really big breakfast taco.

I have always thought of a breakfast taco as something you eat with 1 hand, and a breakfast burrito as something you eat off of a plate with a fork.

North of 290 they call them breakfast burritos.

---

When I hear someone say that it's like nails on a chalkboard.

---

Same here, bugs the hell out of me when people call tacos burritos.

---

1. I never have understood why some people get so upset about this.
2. Where I'm from, it's rolled like a burrito, therefore it's a breakfast burrito. So calling it a breakfast taco would be incorrect.

Either way, my favorite is chorizo, potato, egg, and cheese.

---

Exactly. Gonna take a wild guess and say you are from west Texas, as I am. I never heard them called tacos until I got to BCS. Really weird at first.

I still call them burritos from time to time out of spite.

---

Same here, except it was a trip to San Antonio as a kid.

To me the difference is how it's presented. Tacos are served open, burritos are rolled and folded. Up here all the Mexican places roll them up and advertise them as burritos.

I'm not a huge egg or bean fan.

Laredo Taqueria in Houston has these spicy sausage tacos that are amazing.

Thinly sliced link BBQ sausage (ala chapel hill but cheap stuff), onion, japs, and bell pepper.

They have a huge griddle and the lady just churns about a 10" pile of this stuff on the griddle.

So freaking good.

Also, I love Rudy's brisket, spicy sausage, and cheese. Again, no egg. Their tortillas are not fresh but decent.

They ARE taquitos. That's the point.....they're tacos. Not burritos. Que viva!

Machacado ala Mexicana.

Everything else starts at second place.

Negative. Mendoza's in Clute. Anything else is a pretender.

You know how you got a reputation for arguing about anything on this board? This is a perfect example. Let me know when you figure it out.

---

Uhhhh...ok?

One of the few perks of growing up in Castroville is Margie's tacos.

Oh man, it keeps getting worse. Tell you what....all you guys north of San Antone just leave this taco stuff to us. When it comes time to debate kolaches and pigs in blankets, we'll relinquish the podium.

This is what I don't get. Not sure why you feel the need to get on your high horse about what other people in other places call a breakfast item, and that somehow they're completely wrong for it.

If the menu says breakfast burrito/taco/taquito, my gringo ass sure isn't about to correct them!

First off, we ride burros down here.
Second, you call it what you want but stay off my ass when I call a pig in a blanket a "kolache"

Taquitos are those terrible things Whataburger sells with the processed cheese slice

A burrito is a much larger event that is all encasing

A breakfast taco is meant to be small and you can mix and match ingredients

Sorry Mexico and West Texas that we have better breakfast tacos than you

Rochas Bakery in Mission, Texas. As recently as a few months ago the price for a breakfast taco, one filling, was $0.59 each. Flour (made there) or corn tortillas. By one filling I refer to the usual things mixed with eggs, beans, etc. I think Barbacoa is $0.89 a taco. They usually have about 12 choices, i.e. potato and egg, bacon and egg, bean and chorizo, nopales and egg, etc. When winter Texans are around the wait can be as long as 20-30 mintues to get up to the counter to order. Mrs. Rocha told me that on a busy Sunday they will sell over 200 dozen breakfast tacos.

These folks started with a section of a closed gas station and now have free standing 3 stores, all in the Mission area, and their daughter is an Aggie.

Obviously they are smaller tacos but 3 tacos is plenty good for breakfast, just about right.

In terms of ingredients in a taco, Nopal and egg is one of my favorites as is Chicharron en Salsa. Hadn't seen these mentioned.

Back before the prices went up, I could get three tacos and a DP, breakfast of champions mind you, for less than two dollars at Rocha's. They beat the hell out of Stripes.

For quality, value, and selection I doubt that there is a place in Texas, or northern Mexico, that can touch this place.

Holy Bacon

No ***** Why did they skimp on the bacon?

Just thought after all this mess everyone talked you guys needed to see a real breakfast taco

I made breakfast tacos this morning. Eggs, deer sausage, local hot sauce, velveeta shredded cheese, mission flour tortillas.

There were no leftovers.

This thread inspired me to make some tacos this morning for breakfast. Boudin mixed with my egg, brown sugar and bourbon cured homemade bacon, fresh tortillas (flour, because all other suck) and some Sadie's salsa.

I took a nap after. They were bueno.

Yes, I am aware that I am somehow being argumentative. Dont care.

I am amazed that someone remembers them being called "Mariachis" in Laredo. I thought I was the only one that remembered that! I grew up in Zapata and that is what they called them in the 70's and early 80's! No matter what you call them they are the breakfast of champions!!!! Off topic a bit but growing up in South,TX at least in my family it was custom to have flour tortillas in the morning and corn in the afternoon. A snack for us was flour tortillas with mantiquilla (butter), I dont want to think how many of those I have had in 48 years! To us a tortilla was a spoon, nothing better in the world than to puncture the yolk on a sunny side up egg and sop it up with a flour tortilla. A note on beans, they are greatness but I prefer them "doughy" if that makes sense, runny refried beans are a mess. To the poster from the valley, there was a place in Laredo that sold them for 39-49 cents how the hell they stayed in business I will never know. Also to the huevo divorciados poster, spot on the mix of red and green salsa is greatness.

I took breakfast tacos in to share with my crossfit class last Friday am.

Venison chorizo
egg
salsa
cheese
jalapenos

They were a big hit.
