Rfv-sense: "product of a taco and a burrito". Sounds Looks fishy. L&#9786;g&#9786;maniac chat? 21:48, 29 November 2009 (UTC)


 * The meaning isn't clear from that sense, anyway. Does it mean it's a product that combines a taco and burrito? In what ways? Equinox ◑ 22:33, 29 November 2009 (UTC)


 * The definition may have been bad, but it's certainly a real and widespread term in the US for a taco that's been rolled up like a cigarette prior to being deep-fried. The etymology is entirely Spanish, as far as I know.  The ito suffix is diminutive-forming (so, technically a burrito is a "little burro"), and yes c &rarr; qu before e or i to preserve the hard sound. --EncycloPetey 22:49, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, sense removed. (Note: I believe that EP had not looked at the entry before writing his above comment.) —Ruakh TALK 01:25, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
