tacos VS burritos

I prefer a burrito over a taco, but I'm also basing this on Taco Bell-style tacos.
Hard to say, because I can find countless taco wagons around here and find some choice tacos. Eat four or five, BOOM! I just discovered a hot sauce called San Luis, it has the same color as boil pus but it's really good.
But I generally like burritos.
BTW - anyone tried a Hawaiiana? There's one at a taco wagon about half a mile away and want to know if it is "pork shoulder, ham, and pineapple" or something else?

I'm waiting for Grandfather to answer.
I want to say tacos, but there may be some reverso thing at work like how "soccer" really is an English thing with deep_rootz... could be a trick.

not true. burritos are in fact mexican in origin. however, they are a newer post-columbian creation as wheat flour wasnt introduced to central america until after spain arrived.
also, i like tacos more.
The story around here goes that they were invented as a utility to keep tacos warm when they were being sold in the barrios. The guy selling his tacos would wrap them in flour tortillas to keep them warm, his cart would be pulled by a donkey, hence the name burritos.
Chico's Tacos doesn't count. They are really tacquitos drowned in sauce. lol, Chico's Tacos is Chuco's bastard taco son. that shit is pure el paso for sure.
Chuco's is now called "The Screaming Goat" after Chico's sued them. They'll forever be Chuco's to me though.
the oddest shit I've noticed in the states is the deepness of the burritos. I had eaten burritos all my life but the first time I was in San Francisco, I went to some spot in the mission district and was shocked when they put corn in my burrito. Mind blown. It was rolled fat as hell too with like 5 different things inside of it. I still can't get with rice inside my burrito...grosses me out foreal.
Growing up around here, Burritos were always one or two items at most. They were huge but never more than beans and X, x being some kid of chile con carne or similar. My favorite burritos were always Asado de puerco with refried beans. Or some chile verde burritos. If you're ever in Juarez, burritos El Padrino is that spot for the best burritos IMO. Fresh made tortillas and one item, I dont think they even have lettuce in the shack.
Tacos always had to have tons of shit on them for a proper meal. And for that reason, I like tacos way more.
1. Corn tortillas are way tastier than flour.
2. I was raised on plain ass burritos and a taco needed a whole ritual of adding the right salsa, avocado, sauteed onions + jalapenos, extra cilantro + onion, and always finished up with a squeeze of lime juice.
3. flauta tacos are on some other shit that I love as well. With cabbage, raddish, carrots, the bandera (guacamole, salsa de chile de arbol, and crema).
Tacos > Burritos
p.s. burrito > taco in the bar, taco > burrito outside of the bar

haha oh yeah. I wasn't refering to the beef though.
I meant that chico's tacos is el paso's bastard taco son (aka el chuco town)
You can find Chili Relleno Burritos in El Paso too. I can't find them anywhere here in Austin. I prefer tacos over burritos but Chili Relleno Burritos are the shit.
In principle, I'd say tacos (just had 3 for lunch plus 2 late last night...they've been my post-China food craving) but there are some spots where they simply make better burritos than tacos (a lot of Mission spots come to mind), in which case, I ride for the burritos.
From a taco truck perspective, NO CONTEST. It's all about the tacos.
Fish tacos > fish burritos. Also no contest.
