Hot, crispy, and delish, fresh fillings too. No I have no affiliation w/them, just really like them (the tacos, haven't tried anything else). I had had puffy tacos elsewhere in the past and they were terrible. -Steve Mon Nov 06 19:24:36 -0800 2006 40904 shauben2007 1 2001259 What city?

Can't remember exactly what filling (an indicator of their less-than-stellar nature), except that it was some sort of stewed beef maybe?

Stewed Beef = Carne Guisada, probably an acquired taste, and not the best way to judge. -Steve Mon Nov 06 23:40:07 -0800 2006 2000873 40904 shauben2007 2 2002048 I also love Henry's puffy tacos—but just their puffy tacos. Their other dishes and even their sides are nothing special. However, the texture and flavor of their fried until they've "puffed" corn tortillas are just right. Tue Nov 07 01:41:15 -0800 2006 2001765 10608 MPH 3 3836682 I kind of doubt they would but Carne Guisada in a Puffy Taco, CG is normally like you said, Stewed meat, and is in its own gravy/sauce not really conducive to puffy or any crisp taco. and Most puffy tacos I have seen, could be from corn tortillas, but from what I have seen they are from fresh masa (like what goes around a tamale) that is fried... ohh wait.. this might be a stroke of Genius...

Not that I have had Henry's Puffed Tacos before but carne guisada would not work to well in a freid taco. Thu Jul 03 12:13:35 -0700 2008 3836682 170567 LewisvilleHounder 5 3841023 If you order beef, puffy tacos are made with picadillo, just like regular crisy beef tacos. There's a lot of variation to the meat mixture. As gross as it sounds, the best picadillo is a little creamy and vaguely looks like pet food--as opposed to dry and crumbly. I left SA a couple of years ago, but my fave puffy tacos came from Patty's on Hackberry, not far from the Alamodome.

Henry's actually does offer carne guisada as a filling for puffy tacos, along with picadillo, shredded chicken, bean & cheese, beef fajitas, chicken fajitas, and guacamole.
