Three El Gallo Giro street tacos on corn tortillas topped with grilled meats, salsa verde, onion and cilantro, with lime wedges

Enchiladas: Tortillas filled, rolled or folded and served with chile sauce or another sauce. Corn tortillas are traditional, but preparation varies widely by region. Rojas use a red sauce, while verdes use a green sauce. Enmoladas replace the chile sauce with mole, and enfrijoladas use a bean sauce. Enchiladas suizas are typically topped with a creamy green sauce and melted cheese. Tex-Mex enchiladas developed their own traditions, including versions topped with cheese, chile con carne or chile gravy. On this menu as: Enchiladas · Enchiladas Tricolor · Enchiladas Rancheras.
Burritos: A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling. Northern Mexican burritos are often relatively slender and focused on one or two fillings such as beans, machaca or a guisado. In the United States, the form developed in several directions. San Francisco's Mission burrito is large and typically includes rice, beans and numerous fillings. San Diego's California burrito famously adds french fries. A wet burrito is covered in sauce and eaten with a knife and fork. On this menu as: Burritos & Chimis · Burrito Bueno · Taco Truck Burrito.
Street tacos: "Street taco" is a broad U.S. menu term usually describing a small, relatively simple taco inspired by tacos sold from stands and taquerías in Mexico. A common version uses one or two small corn tortillas topped with meat, onion and cilantro, with salsa and lime added by the diner. But taco styles vary tremendously across Mexico, so tortilla count and toppings are not a definition of authenticity. At U.S. taquerías, tacos labeled this way are usually priced individually and intended to be ordered several at a time. On this menu as: Street Tacos · Street Tacos — 3 Pack · Street Tacos — 4 Pack.
Quesadillas: A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas. On this menu as: Quesadillas · Spinach Quesadilla · Kid's Quesadilla.
Fajitas: Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese. On this menu as: Fajita Burrito · Fajitas (Beef or Chicken) · Tacos de Alambre.
Chimichanga: A fried burrito associated particularly with Arizona and the Mexican-American cooking of the Southwest. It is typically crisp outside and may be topped or served with cheese, guacamole, sour cream or salsa. Several Arizona restaurants have claimed a role in its invention, so the precise origin story is best treated as disputed. On this menu as: Mini Chimis · Burritos & Chimis.
