Breakfast tacos were a pretty common breakfast options when I lived in Texas. Having come from living in the Mid-Atlantic, I had never heard such a thing. While my work office back home usually had bagels and donuts; out in Texas it was breakfast taco platters.

Torchy's Tacos had the best breakfast taco (in my opinion). I've since come to the conclusion that breakfast tacos are totally socially acceptable anytime for breakfast, lunch or even dinner.
