One Day in San Diego?

[Smapti]

Oh, and it turns out San Diego may alsk deserve some credit for the taquito, or as the 'Bertoses always call them, rolled tacos.

Taquito | History

In San Diego, what would become El Indio Mexican Restaurant began selling taquitos during World War II, when tortilla factory owner Ralph Pesqueria Sr. was asked by workers at the Consolidated Aircraft Company factory across the street for a portable lunch item. Pesqueria, who used a recipe developed by his Mexican grandmother, has claimed credit for introducing the word “taquito” for the dish.

El Indio is still there today, and my dad worked at the Consolidated Air factory decades later when it was part of General Dynamics.
