Even after they had to increase prices they were $1. This fucking $4 for a breakfast taco shit is out of hand. I want to revisit the Real Deal Holyfield for a moment. When I was told an $8 breakfast taco (or whatever it costs now) exists, I got angry on basic principle. But damn if that isn't the king of tacos. Holy shit that is amazing. Plus when you consider the price of brisket, a huge slab of perfectly smoked fatty brisket laid on top of those eggs bacon and beans, it's probably priced about right. I consider any trip to Austin failed if it doesn't include at least one of those bad boys.

Only your mom Otherwise You getting scraps and cheap meat. Sell that shit in bags at the depot As soon as I'm sure I understand what you're saying here, I think I will be agreeing with you. Stay tuned, though... Just for the record, maybe part of this thread should be everyone has to list their GO-TO taco or taco order is (kinda like how Jalopnik writers have to list the cars they own/drive). For me, it's 2 chorizo/egg/cheese, 1 bean/cheese/chorizo, and 1 chorizo/egg/bean/cheese... and my God, I hope I listed those accurately. I'm fine with more elaborate inventions from the trucks, etc. but I prefer just the basics. I sympathize with the point OP is making and I'm happy it was brought up, but I will also say that if you get a solid bean and cheese or (drool) cheek-meat barbacoa taco any time before noon, you'd be hard pressed to break your overnight fast in any tastier way. Full disclosure, I live in New York and this all makes me sad that I live in New York.

January 19, 20196 yr Nah. Fuck that. I’ll take a chorizo, bean, and cheese and a papa ranchera with bacon. That’ll cost you $1.99/ taco after 11 am at Taqueria Jalisco Chápala #3.
January 19, 20196 yr I have never felt the need for additional empty carbs while eating Migas. Isn't that the point of cooking in the tortilla chips?The point of cooking in the tortilla chips is to stretch the meal to feed more people. Abuelita ain’t counting carbs. Pendejete.

January 19, 20196 yr Maybe abuelita should be. She was a little doughy the last time I piped her out - pendejo. Say what you will, but abuelita usually knows her way around a pecker.

January 19, 20196 yr Used to be team egg, that has changed in the last year. I stil want one egg based taco, but I’m expanding my horizons on my 2nd and 3rd taco.

It's literally a shit ton of great things that go together well, like the 2005 Longhorns, but darker in spots. I wonder about you people. Then again, I'm very white. you can’t read for shit. migas wrapped in a tortilla is white. also delicious, but still whiter than your mother’s ass.

January 19, 20196 yr I enjoy Orale Super Taco in Weslaco. Their barbacoa taco for breakfast is killer.

Eggs must be barely done, I want to play chicken with salmonella or else I don't feel alive.
January 19, 20196 yr Also, when I worked in Austin, the cafeteria served migas on Friday mornings. I’d get a plate of migas and fried potatoes with a couple flour tortillas, and build a couple of breakfast tacos with migas, potatoes, and cholula. Sooooo good.

January 19, 20196 yr Terrible thread. What is it with white people and trying to 1) appropriate other cultures while at the same time outwardly showing disdain for their people, and 2) telling them what's what about their own culture? Also what is it with white people and eggs? It's a fucking chicken embryo you're eating. That's disgusting

Likewise, anyone calling breakfast tacos breakfast burritos should probably be arrested and submitted for questioning, and anyone that feels the need to eat 5 eggs and half a pound of sausage wrapped in an 18 inch tortilla before noon is equally as suspect. I have family in west texas and they exclusively have breakfast burritos. They are in fact burritos, with a bigger tortilla, but they become equally annoyed when I refer to our smaller tortilla breakfast rollups as tacos.

Sorry to bother you, sir, but you have peppered your speech with alien French words, bold-faced above. As a person of conquered Saxon heritage, each French word that you chose, however innocently, hurts me like a knife twisting in my guts. Please show more sensitivity in the future.

January 20, 20196 yr I used to drink a little. Before that, I used to drink a LOT. When you have a fresh 80 pack of tortillas and wake up on a Sunday morning with mild to medium hangover, then a "breakfast taco" is anything you can find in the fridge. Does it need to have refritos in it? Depends. Do you have any leftover beans in your fridge? On the other hand, if there's leftover Kung Pao, or Popeye's in there, you got yourself a breakfast taco. If you want to throw a scrambled egg on there, help yourself. No objection here. On the other hand, if you want to skip the eggs and spend that time and effort making a Bloody Mary instead... Been there. Someone posted upthread about Taco Shack. I haven't been there in 20 years, but they had some great carne guisada. Rock on you surly bastards.
January 20, 20196 yr all tacos are good. eggs are good. refried beans good. salsa good. hot sauce good. also, anything of chorizo, any slightly burnt animal bits, blackened taters, cados, cheese. flour or corn, depends. habenero is how you wake up in the morning, asshole willing
January 20, 20196 yr Bill Miller's potato and sausage tacos - the most under rated taco in Texas I actually find it amusing that Bill Millers BBQ does several things well....but none of them are BBQ.
January 20, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Brisketexan said: I actually find it amusing that Bill Millers BBQ does several things well....but none of them are BBQ. Yes, they do a surprisingly good breakfast, while their bbq induces anorexia. That said, this thread makes me irrationally angry.

January 20, 20196 yr Granzin's BBQ in NB.... their most popular breakfast taco is "the Granzin" ... it's Carne Guisada, a little queso, a little gravy, and some breakfast potatoes. It's better than any of your nancy boy Austin breakfast tacos and it doesn't have any eggs in it. And yes, Wimberley is nancy ass Austin taco land.
January 20, 20196 yr Great thread. It’s like that stupid shit people click on Facebook because the premise is so stupid you have to see their justification for it. There are simply too many non-egg breakfast tacos for OP to hold true. The Mexicans I work with looked at me like I was an idiot when I posed this question. Carne guisada and barbacoa tacos are obviously breakfast, not to mention all of the combos of potatoes, bacon, bean, cheese, chorizo, etc. I don’t even understand the debate about taco vs burrito. Both are awesome and have their place. That being said, i’ve never had a breakfast taco that can even remotely measure up to a proper New Mexico breakfast burrito smothered in green. That taco does not exist.

A few years back my dad went elk hunting on the Forbes Trinchera Ranch. He said a bunch of guys from Miller’s BBQ (family I assumed) were up there at the same time and brought a bunch of coolers packed full of their BBQ product. That’s what they ate. Dad found that extra amusing.
January 20, 20196 yr Taco hot take: Torchy’s sucks. They don’t even bother to reheat their store bought tortillas before they serve them to you.
