Commendable effort sir, not too many disagreements.
I would add "taco bell spork" ABOVE fork.
Has anyone seen my specialty plates?

Yes if you rent a house, but I don’t think so if you’re in a hotel. Rentals at pretty cheap, too. We do a “friends and family” thing every 2-3 years down there and the Pirates Beach neighborhood is our go-to. We go through VRBO, I think (I don’t make the reservations). There are two walk-up entrances to the beach there, one at each end of the neighborhood. I will say, though, that last time we picked a house on the street closest to the highway, and the 5-block wall to the beach was a bit of a drag. If you look there, it’s worth it to get something closer, imo.

Yeah rent a house in Jamaica Beach or Pirates, IMO.

Not long after graduating from TCU, I had a crappy job in east Austin. Our building was right next to a tamale factory and the sights and smells will never leave my memory. I have a friend who makes tamales at Christmas and she gives me some. Those I can eat, because I know how they were made. But commercially made tamales ? No way.

My family makes tamales every year. It's probably my least-favorite day of the year. Those things are a pain in the ass!

Neither of you have answered my question about what you mean by taquito....
Are you talking about the fried rolled taco type things, or the Whataburger taquito type things? Or the little Mexican street tacos with onions and cilantro?

That raises a good point. Should neither of those things be called a taquito? Because they are both not a “small taco.”

Don't know about the Whataburger things, cuz I don't eat there very often. To me taquitos are these:
Pretty much the same as flautas. I find them dry, and when you bite them, they shatter into a million pieces. There's so little filling, you hardly taste it. Like cupcakes, just not worth the effort.
However, my main support of Phormer's statement concerned the tamale, the reasons outlined in my previous post.

You can definitely darn up a tamale.
Our house keeper makes us tamales a couple times a year. Incredible. Perfect balance of filling to masa. Juicy and spicy.
And for the darned up tamales, put a little chili on them if they're dry and you got something delicious there.

At Alvaredo’s on berry they were called Rolled tacos. Best damn late night food in my time at TCU.
