  • You've never seen a taco like this! Paco travels to San Antonio to try the puffy taco, a fried and puffed San Antonio specialty. He starts at Taco House, talking with sisters and co-owners Rose and Rochelle about how to make the perfect puffy taco. Then Paco heads over to Lala's Gorditas to chat with chef Steve Pizzini about the perfect mesa for the puffy taco. Then he meets up with local legend Diana Barrios Treviño and gets a first hand account of what makes a perfect puffy taco. Created in partnership with Camarena Tequila. #ad

    I went to combat medic school at Ft. Sam Houston 16 years ago. I spent many weekends and nights in SA, and ate A LOT of puffy tacos. I haven't been back since I graduated AIT all those years ago, and seeing this is just bringing it all back. I can practically taste the food. SA is one of my absolute favorite cities in America.

    Mr. Steven Pizzini 😄 the funniest person on the planet and his mom Ms. Josie are wonderful people. Talk about San Antonio royalty, I bow. 💕 his family has been making the puffies since the 1930s and the Molino we use to smash the corn has magical vibes in the rocks… lol ok. Y’all need to go eat there. 🙏🏻
    And yes, reading the comments about how not many young people know or have had the puffy tacos. It’s pretty neat how the taco puffy came to be.

    I thought it was interesting that no one felt the need to claim they’d invented it. You don’t often see that in these sort of situations. People often have friendly feuds with this kind of thing. But these people, while proud of their food and history, were humble enough not to claim that their family came up with it.

Arriba llevan pavo, desmenuzado , con aguacate lechuga tomate y cebolla . Visiten está zona y si vienen a Mérida en el mercado de Santa Ana uffff los mejores. RECETA : harina de maíz 2 tazas (mazeca ) agua tibia 150 ml , sal y cdita de harina de trigo (amasar que no quede pegajosa , dejar reposar tapada 20 min ) . se utiliza la maricona para darle la forma adecuada
