Interesting. Only place I ever ate puffy tacos was at the Yucatan restaurant
which sadly is no longer there. I usually got the panuchos when I was there.
That's the only place I know of that made them and they were super good.

I do eat a lot of refried beans at times but lately I've been eating other
things. The owner of the Mexican place where we normally eat is from Oaxaca.
Apparently this cuisine is the type we are fond of. When I mentioned to him
that our favorite former place was Pio Pios, he said that Ramone (the owner)
was his uncle. Also from Oaxaca. He did open a new place but somewhere south
in the state. Can't remember where but no place we would have a need to go
to. Anyway... He told me that they do eat refried beans in Mexico but that
whole beans are more common as fat in any form is expensive and Mexico is a
poor country. Black beans are more popular than pinto in Oaxaca. My favorite
thing that he serves is the black bean soup.

I can't say that I really eat any of those other things. I have had cheese
enchiladas. I have had nachos. And fajitas but I am not fond of those.

Thanks.
