I'm not absolutely sure I'd agree with the classification of the crunchy (non-soft) taco as the "normal" unmarked category. Here in San Diego, where people take their tacos, especially their fish tacos, seriously, you're unlikely to see a crunchy one unless it's specifically listed on the menu as a "rolled taco" (which implies fried and crunchy). In my former residence of Dallas, Texas, the same rolled and fried item isn't even called a taco but rather a "flauta." The only place in either city where you'll get a crunchy U-shaped one is at one of the plastic fast-food chains like Taco Bell. Sorry I can't speak to the practice in Mexico itself but I gather that it's the same -- "taco" without any modifiers is, I think, a soft taco. I could be wrong so I'm not changing the article, but maybe somebody more knowledgeable could look into this? [[User:Bruce M.Tindall|Bruce M.Tindall]] 20:14, 26 June 2008 (CDT) | |||
