What is the difference between a rolled taco and a taquito? As far as I can tell, nothing, both consists of a corn tortilla stuffed with flavorful meat, rolled, and the fried. As a child, I grew up eating taquitos. My mother would make them as a quick mid-week dinner. She probably also made them frequently because they are tasty and all of her children would eat them without complaint. Living in North County San Diego, I discovered these tasty treats also go by the name rolled taco, who knew!
When eating taquitos sauce is required. As a small child with immature taste buds, I’m embarrassed to say I dipped my taquitos in ketchup. Luckily, I grew up and so did my appreciation for taste. Ketchup does not reign condiment supreme any longer. Nowadays I eat them with any of the following: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, green sauce, red sauce, beans or any combo of one or more above mentioned sauces. It doesn’t matter what condiment accompanies your taquitos just don’t let them be lonely. Some people prefer to have sauce placed on top of the taquitos, but I’m a fan of dipping.
Last Saturday I visited Olvera Street, Los Angeles, CA and picked up a plate of taquitos and a tamale from Juanita’s Cafe. The taquitos were hot, crispy and tasty with a side of green sauce. If you’re in the neighborhood, you should stop by and try some too.
While taquitos and rolled tacos are interchangeable in my opinion tacos
are not. Tacos versus Taquitos, there is not comparisons the two are not
the same. They are both equally tasty, but they fall into different categories.
