Nothing I love more than a good breakfast taco. Oh wait, we're talking about food? Well then, never mind.

I think a trip to Austin is in order.

There is no such thing as God.

But if there IS...breakfast tacos (along with beer, fried chicken, and buffalo wings) are proof that he loves us and wants us to be happy and full.

I prefer the meat missile omelet at Steak n' Egg in Tenleytown.

Breakfast tacos are just a poor man's breakfast burrito.

ShawnDoc: Breakfast tacos are just a poor man's breakfast burrito.

The breakfast burrito is the breakfast equivalent of the KFC Famous Bowl: it's a failure pile wrapped in a soggy tortilla of sadness.
 
2010-03-11 02:22:50 PM
All fine and dandy, but do they use salt (gasp) in the preparation of them?
 
2010-03-11 02:23:04 PM
I believe the word subby was looking for was "dominion" Though it's still a very awkward turn of phrase. "Deliciousousness" is a thing to achieve, not rule over or conquer. I suppose it could be, but it's quite a contortion.

And yeah, breakfast tacos rule... sausage, eggs, and cheese without being weighted down by all the dry heaviness of a biscuit.

For some reason this thread brings to mind a long online discussion in which I participated, where we tried to come up with all the local food joints that had different names ending in "-ertos". There was a surprising number.

After reading the article, I fail to see how these are different from breakfast burritos, which have been around forever and probably were not invented in Austin.

Tacos can't hold everything together. The breakfast burrito is the superior choice.

trancemission: After reading the article, I fail to see how these are different from breakfast burritos, which have been around forever and probably were not invented in Austin.

People in Austin, incapable of creating anything on their own, often slightly modify something everyone already likes and dub it an Austin original.

So you're saying we should go to Tu Madre's for a good taco?

Wish we had those up North. All we have here is donuts and coffee, all very boring if you ask me.

Perfect description.

I never got the appeal of a breakfast burrito, it just looked gross. And I'm a man who has ordered a Terminator for breakfast (3 eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, cheese and hash browns on a roll).

Wait... people make them with hard-shell corn tortillas?

In that case, I must side with the burrito.

Not the ones we make at home or on campouts.

Count on a bunch of New York liberturds to screw this up. Breakfast tacos are a distant second to the true most important item of the most important meal of the day, the breakfast burrito. Oh and take that bagel and use for what it resembles and tastes like, an anal pessary.

Just ate Mi Madre's a couple of hours ago, so I'm getting a kick out of this.

Do they come with a side of guacamole?
If so, I'm in. But it has to be fresh guac...

It would appear that they are almost always made with flour tortillas.

GIS for breakfast taco (new window)

Even according to this homesick Texan (new window) who says "a breakfast taco is a regular 8-inch flour tortilla (almost always flour, but sometimes you see soft corn)".

for Chicago Farkers (and Houston according to website) Check out the breakfast tacos from Alonti. The roasted potatoes they put in them are awesome. Don't forget the jalepeno hot sauce.
 
2010-03-11 02:38:32 PM
Anyway, the difference between tacos and burritos is simply the number of fillings and size of the tortilla.

If number of fillings is greater than 4, or the tortilla is 10" or larger, it's a failure pile, because you couldn't be bothered to eat like a real adult.
 
2010-03-11 02:38:41 PM
Hell any where in Texas (maybe not east Texas) serves breakfast tacos/burritos. Nothing beats a good chorizo, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito and some nice spicy tamales.
 
2010-03-11 02:38:53 PM
The burrito is the perfect calorie delivery system. Tacos aren't as efficient, but good corn tortillas beat the hell out of flour tortillas in taste and texture. There's a time and a place for everything, but it's always a good time for Tex-Mex.
 
2010-03-11 02:38:54 PM
Flour tortillas > Corn

And a carne guisada with cheese is great way to kick off the day. We have a vendor who comes to our office and sells breakfast tacos in our kitchen every morning. Good stuff.
