Hey gp77. Ask this because I had all three for lunch today along with a beef enchilada. The only difference between the three was how the corn tortillas were shaped. :confused:

I associate a taco as a "curved hard tortilla shell" wiht taco meat, lettuce, tomatoe, and cheese - A chalupa is a fried, flat shell with refried beans, lettuce, tomatoe, cheese and quacamole on it..a tostata is a flat fried shell with taco meat, beans,cheese, lettuce and tomato... am I close?

It doesn't matter what you order in a Mexican Fast Food Restaurant. You're gonna get beans, rice, meat, a tortilla, and some tomatoes, onions, and pepper. And hopefully some cilantro. A taco, a taco salad, meat nachos, beef enchiladas, all look the same if you pour beer on them and mix them up in a bowl.

I've always thought

Taco - Hard u-shaped shell
Chalupa - u shape crunchy tortilla
tostada - flat crunchy tortilla

taco for me has always been a fried corn tortilla, still soft though....crunchy ushaped tacos are a sin. thought chalupa was a form of a tostada? always called them chalupas though.... fried corn tortilla crunchy and flat.

a taco has a tortilla wrapped around it..a tostada has no meat but a chalupa does! that is the main difference...and i should know...i serve them during the week ends!

taco = flour or corn tortilla with some kind of meat (beef, chicken, pork, etc...) inside

chalupa = flat fried corn tortilla with beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc...

tostada = just add meat to the chalupa

at least that is how it is at my house

i think we have another "regional" war brewing, i.e. tacos vs burritos :D
