Meaning and background
The story behind Taquito
Taquito is a Spanish diminutive of taco and names a small, tightly rolled tortilla preparation, usually filled and fried. The food-word history is more dependable than any imagined animal symbolism. Its three-syllable rhythm feels light, and it belongs among edible nicknames such as Biscuit or Nacho without needing to imply a particular dog’s size.
