Texsox Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) I've never used corn tortillas due to being told that they fall apart too easy and that the flour are the way to go. So you're telling me I've been mislead??? QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) Yessir, you have been duped by The Man, er..., El Hombre. Texsox quick fact. I grew up in Lake County where the late night, after bar stop was usually breakfast. However, being the good Sox fan, I did spend some time in south side bars, and, of course, developed the 2:05 am taste for a bag of sliders. Sad Tex note. There are no sliders in South Texas. Now this is where the wonderful corn tortilla enters the conversation. As I was lovingly explaining the greasy nirvana known as a slider, my friend knew instantly where we needed to go. Taquaria El Zarapa, and their tacos nortenos are as close to a Mexican slider as you can get. Two greasy corn tortillas, bistek (chopped steak), onions, and cilantro. A standard order is 6 of these beauties. Some places will add cheese. They are usually consumed in two bites, just like a slider, but may be taken in one big, risking choking bite. Grease, beef, onions, strong flavors. They always are served with a side of charro beans. Best of all, and unlike White Castle, El Zarape has a big tub of ice on the counter filled with cerveza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grabbed some sinus relief stuff and while it took some time, it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it comes out PAHHHHHP and SAHHHHHHKS. But everyone in my old neighborhood said "SHIH-KAWW-GO", not CHICAHHHHHGO. With my wife having grown up in Wisconsin, the differences in dialect and accent are very fun to point out.
