Taco

Puffy taco, San Antonio San Antonio's signature taco starts as a flattened ball of masa fried until it puffs into a light, airy shell. Arturo Lopez is generally credited with making it famous at Ray's Drive Inn, serving the West Side since 1956, though his brother Henry disputes the claim and runs his own puffy taco shops. Eat it fast and over a plate: the shell shatters, the filling escapes, and that mess is exactly why it beats any pre-made hard shell.
