So, today I found out that Taquitos (aka rolled tacos, but don't call them that) were invented here. in San Diego. More specifically, at El Indio [
story] I've eaten there a coupla times, but I've never gotten taquitos. I'm more of an enchilada and chips n salsa guy. But hey, if they were invented there, I should at least try them, right?
And wow. The Caesar Salad was invented just on the other side of the border, in Tijuana? Shit, I never woulda guessed that either. I just thought Tijuana was the place to go for people under 21 to drink legally.
So everybody, wish your friendly neighborhood Taquito a happy 65th birthday... and then scarf that puppy down. Taquitos are
goooooood.

Mmm, taquitos! I used to be totally hooked on the ones from Albertos, until I got pregnant with my son. Then I just couldn't stand the smell. It's never been the same since. *sigh*

I'm sorry. I'm a rolled taco girl. Not taquito. I mean, I'll say taquito from time to time, especially if I'm buying a box of Delimex at the store. But if I order it from a shack where they yell HAT SASS! out the window and the beans are so good, you just want to bathe in them, I'm sorry...it's rolled tacos.

Tijuana is the place you don't want to go if you're a redheaded white woman. These guys tried to roll our car. I was sure I was about to be raped.
We practically had to run over people to haul ass out of there. and I never did get my authentic...i forget the word for it, duh...those things wrapped in corn husks...what the hell is that word!!! Ack, this is gonna drive me nuts all day.
