Just had the best homemade Whataburger Taquito ever. Bacon, Sausage and Cheese cooked in my kitchen.

---

So, a breakfast taco.

Taquitos at Whataburger are called breakfast tacos everywhere else on the planet, unless you are somewhere where dumbasses call them breakfast burritos.

I see a lot of lolfats on this thread

Fast food is killing you. Stop eating that crap.

Always wondered why Whataburger called it Taquito. Traditional Mexican Taquito is something that is deep fried.

Just had whataburger tonight.

Burger was hot, albeit salty. It was a great burger

I see someone who doesn't understand the concept of "moderation". Too much fast food might kill you, so just eat a little on occasion and you'll be just fine. Not unusual for my wife and I to split a burger and fries.

---

Same. Did this at KBob's last night, and I had some leftover. Whataburger sucks balls these days, and if I do get a burger it will be the double beef Jr. Their meat is just gray with no indication it hit a smoking hot surface, and cooking one "medium" is out of the question.

I didn't know K-Bob's was still a thing? Was the seed dealer buying dinner for a bunch of farmers?

When Whataburger is on, it is still a good, salty, burger. One big issue is the consistency has really gone all over the place

The Wife and mine's local waterhole, and my beer is usually being poured before I hit my seat at the bar. This is the furthest east I know of one still existing. They're still around West Texas and New Mexico, and the owner of this one had the one in Fredericksburg until he closed it.

IMO, like some other fast food restaurants, it depends greatly on the location. There are two Whataburger's in my town 2.4 miles apart. I drive to the one that's further away because that one has its' sh** together. It has a good manager and runs like clockwork. I put my order in thru the app when I leave my house and they're filling my drink & adding fries to the tray when I arrive at the counter. Burger tastes pretty good.

Your post just made me realize that the first breakfast tacos I ever had were their Taquitos. Would venture to say around '89-'90. Does anyone else remember having a breakfast taco at a restaurant before that? Hell, I don't remember having breakfast at a Mexican restaurant before that.

Yes, breakfast tacos were around before that. Where did you grow up?

Whataburger "taquitos" are the blandest **** they make.

I was introduced to breakfast tacos on a Boy Scouts camp out north of Seoul in 1989. By a Texan.

I'm sure they were "around", I'm just saying where I grew up in Houston, going to schools that were easily 30% hispanic, I just had never heard of breakfast tacos. They sure weren't serving them up at the neighborhood Shipleys, haha. Pretty sure I'd never seen someone make one at home until the late 80s. Straight country breakfasts until then.

Just about every hole-in-the wall texmex restaurant in San Antonio makes breakfast tacos by heating the non-egg portion and then breaking an egg into it to cook it. Basically you get the meat/potato bits mixed with bits of egg. In contrast, Whataburger actually uses premixed scrambled egg with milk to create a fluffy egg/meat filling. Put some picante on it, and they're pretty good if you do it right. They also cost about 2-3x a typical breakfast taco.

I wouldn't put the Whataburger tortillas in the great category. They are adequate for what they are. That said, I have had some great homemade ones in little restaurants, and I have also some awful ones from the same places

Come to think of it, no. Whataburger introduced their taquitos in 1983 and I had them then or shortly thereafter. Don't think that I had been to a Mexican place for breakfast prior to that, and it was definitely before the time when every restaurant had a breakfast taco/burrito on the menu.

My mother who was born and raised in a Texas-German home in New Braunfels served us "breakfast tacos" for dinner a few times when she was out of ideas for dinner. This would have been late-70s/early-80s. Granted, she cut up some HEB sausage, browned it in a pan, and mixed in scrambled eggs, but it was wrapped in a flour tortilla. We thought it was fun to have eggs for dinner.

Not served in a Mexican restaurant for breakfast, but this is my first remembrance of it.

The main problem is that Whataburgers tortillas are terrible.

This.

Anybody can scramble eggs and heat up refried beans and fry some bacon, etc.

Without a good tortilla, none of it matters.

Got this recipe from old Mexican grandma.

All Purpose Flour plus extra to form tortillas
Salt
Baking powder
Lard
Hot water

In a large bowl, place the flour, baking powder, salt, and mix. With the help of your hands, incorporate the lard until it resembles a coarse meal.

Add the water little by little to form the dough. Transfer the flour mixture onto a work surface and knead for a couple of minutes until smooth.

Divide the ball of dough into 10 equal portions, rolling every piece on your lightly floured work surface with the palm of your hand to form a little disk.

Cover the dough balls, also called "Testales de harina," with a damped, clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 30-45 minutes.

After the resting period, place an ungreased griddle, cast iron skillet, or /comal over medium heat.

Grab your Rolling Pin to help form the tortillas on a lightly floured surface.

Now, place the dough ball onto the working area and press slightly with your hand. Set the rolling pin at the center of the dough ball and press forward without making it to the edge. Then press backward towards yourself, stopping before the edge.

Turn the tortilla 45 degrees (like a half-turn) and repeat pressing forward and then towards you. Flip the tortilla and repeat the same process until you have a thin disk about 10 inches in diameter.

Next, place the tortilla on your already hot Griddle or comal. During the first 20 to 30 seconds, the tortilla starts forming air bubbles, and light golden brown spots will show at the bottom side of the tortilla.

Turn the tortilla, and during the next 20 seconds, more air bubbles will continue to form. Turn again; at this time, the flour tortilla will puff up. Remove the flour tortilla and wrap it with a kitchen towel. Keep making the rest of the tortillas until you have a whole stack.

TL;DR. Go to HEB and buy fresh butter tortillas.

Fast food burgers. I had 5 Guys after about 10 years and loved it. Very expensive though, for just a burger and fries, it came up to $20. No drink. This is fast food. Thanks Biden. Take my money and give it to the Ukranians, Pakistanis and Venezuelans.

---

If it doesn't have a drive thru, it isn't fast food. And Five Guys fries are the worst fries sold in the US. And with the speed of Whataburger's drive thrus these days, they don't qualify as fast food anymore either.

---

Whataburger has ALWAYS been slow. They used to have a commercial that actually showed a guy saying 'I come to Whataburger because you have to wait'. The idea being they don't cook your food until it's ordered, ostensibly producing a much better flavor.

A better middle ground is buying the uncooked heb tortillas already rolled. You can usually find them next to the biscuits and cinnamon rolls. Then you can just make a few fresh ones whenever you want.

Going to Vegas next week, I will have an In and Out Double Double.

Five Guys Cajun fries are legit. Regular ones are gross.

---

Seriously? I like the regular ones. They look greasy and gross but are yummy. I found the Cajun ones too spiced.

---

Adults who say yummy.

---

Yummy yum yum.

If a Whataburger looked like this, they'd own the market... EVERYWHERE!

Burger King's charbroil burgers are some of my favorite fast-food burgers. A whopper with cheese, no ketchup... hits

Hat Creek Burgers are great.

Shake Shack and P Terry's as well

---

Agree to disagree on Hat Creek. The most blah and overpriced burger mentioned here. PTerry's, however, is the In-n-Out of Central Texas.

---

I had P Terry for the first time about a year ago. It was a plain cheeseburger, and I thought it was the blandest burger I had in a long time. I have them a second chance recently, got the double cheese with grilled onions. It was much better because of the cheese and onions, and what I realized is how low quality their meat is. I think the term is pink slime.

P Terry's uses all natural never frozen 100% Black Angus Beef.

I (and my wife) totally agree about the lackluster meat quality at PTerry's....at least the one in Bastrop. Went there after they opened last year and was underwhelmed as the meat was undercooked, had a lot of gristle (or maybe fillers) and lacked flavor. 100% Angus or not, it sucked. On the other hand, I have had burgers at other PT's (in Austin) that were better.
