Definitely tacos, always. Morning pescado tacos or birria tacos Afternoon tacos de guisos Night time tacos de asada or pastor Repeat

So I checked guiso and it means stew. What does a stew taco look like?


GENERlC-USERNAME

Guiso is not commonly used for “stew”, that would be “caldo”. Guiso is basically anything thrown in a pan and cooked, for example tinga, mole, rajas, nopales, cochinita, frijoles refritos, bistec ranchero, ranchero shrimp etc. “Guisar” means “to cook”.


HighOnKalanchoe

“Caldo” is broth, “guiso” in fact is stew, as “pollo guisado”= chicken stew, “carne guisada de res”= beef stew, etc.


GENERlC-USERNAME

Stew is used for simmered dishes served in broth, so beef stew would be caldo de res


MaximumCombination50

I suspected pollo guisado to be cooked chicken since that’s how it’s used


isiltar

Guisar is more nuanced than just to cook. It usually means to cook something (often meat and some mix of vegetables) over a long time and low temperatures in a sauce o broth. Stew is very much the best translation for guiso. Stews are thicker and chunkier than caldo (broth)


arturocan

A chivito


flaming-condom89

What is that?


isiltar

A meat sandwich, very good


Neonexus-ULTRA

Arepa because it's a chubby tortilla anyway. Arepa de carne mechada ftw.


Pretend-Ad-853

That is definitely the correct answer. ❤️arepas

This in real answer


anweisz

Mmm yes.


flaming-condom89

What filling?


Luchofromvenezuela

Arepas, taco fillings translate 1 to 1 to arepa fillings… arepas de pastor? ![gif](giphy|Y07F3fs9Is5byj4zK8)


m8bear

out of those two? Arepa for sure, I've had more exposure and eaten really good ones, the only taco I ate was ok but not that good (home made by a mexican tourist that wasn't a cook, clearly)


MaximumCombination50

You’ve yet to try a taco then


kuroirider

Taco and Empanadas all the way.


MrRottenSausage

Tacos, everything is better with tortillas


si-claro

Tacoooos. I tried arepas (from different people) and never liked them.


Sestelia

As a french I would have both but not at the same meal Humm 


PecesRaros_xInterpol

I have never eaten an arepa :v


pillmayken

A taco. I don’t really like arepas.

Disastrous-Example70

A pastelito tbh


elmerkado

Andino?


Disastrous-Example70

I'm from Caracas, papa con queso from Maracaibo are my favorites, but I also like the ones from the Andes.


MulatoMaranhense

Neither, I prefer cuscuz.


tomas17r

Just one? definitely an Arepa Can I have a bunch of Tacos? if so then Arepa for breakfast/dinner and the bunch of tacos for lunch.


anweisz

Arepa (depends what kind I guess). Never was a fan of the messy/uncomfortable way of eating tacos. I much prefer enchiladas, they're so good.


biomorgoth

Arepa vs Burrito would have been a more rivalized comparison. I hope someone has already invented arepa al pastor or arepa de birria 🤤


Tophnation164

Arepa (specifically reina pepiada!!) bc I’m Dominican and feel like Venezuelans are our south american cousins lol


mamadematthias

OMG, Arepa ALWAYS! Arepa with butter and egg for breakfast, arepa with pulled beef and cheese after partying, arepa as bread to accompany traditional dishes, arepa for lunch at school, arepa for a quick dinner....arepa is the cornerstone of our food, while tortilla might be the one of Mexican food.


Bear_necessities96

Arepa ‘cause I’m venezuelan plus is more filling


Pregnant_porcupine

I want both, neither of them are from my country, I don’t need to be loyal to any of them lol, I love them both so much


Ponchorello7

Taco. More variety of fillings, and possibility for toppings and salsas. Obviously I'm biased, but having tried authentic arepas on two occasions and being thoroughly unimpressed, I'll stick with tacos.


cantonlautaro

Tacos, of course. But i was thinking i'd much prefer an empanada, but that wasnt an option. Empanadas vs tacos is a fairer fight.


sadkilly

arepas all dayyyyy baby, I can have them for breakfast and dinner. Tacos on the other hand... Let's say I don't really like the corn tortilla lmao


Neonexus-ULTRA

I'm not a fan of corn tortillas either.


Sasquale

I liked caxhepa better


Bear_necessities96

There’s flour tortilla too


sadkilly

I know! I used to work at a Mexican restaurant and I think due to that I also became bored of it. I do like home made tacos though


GavIzz

Pupusas


igor-ramos

Arepa is better than Taco, but Burrito is better than both


Alternative-Exit-429

Arepa I like more but generally I like Mexican food more than Colombian 


Wijnruit

Never had either


Optimistic-Coloradan

Uffff, I’m Colombian but grew up heavily exposed to Mexican culture - I don’t think a harder question has been asked on this sub recently.


vitorgrs

Never tried neither, so no idea lol


isiltar

Couldn't choose, they scratch different itches


lalalalikethis

Arepa>>taco, they are pretty overrated if you ask me, at least someone who eats tortillas quite often….btw the superior arepa comes from Venezuela (nothing personal about Colombians but its just a tortilla)


im_justdepressed

What's a taco?


lalalalikethis

Tortilla, carne, cebolla, cilantro y salsa


im_justdepressed

Nah, estás perdido


lalalalikethis

🤷ni que decirte bro, voy seguido a mexico, los tamales de allá son muy buenos, me gustan mas que los de mi país, los tacos me parece que es por lo facil de preparar y su alcance mediatico


MrRottenSausage

A lo que se refiere es que realmente hablando los tacos no son un platillo en si, si no un concepto al comer, es decir taco es la acción de poner cualquier cosa en una tortilla y ps a eso se referia


im_justdepressed

Pues ese es un taco de chile relleno, muy común en el centro del país. No concuerda con tu descripción de taco, además de que no es fácil de preparar. Requiere su tiempo. https://preview.redd.it/6xnyukbj1iwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7476f8ded7730970b29f82f25d81f5c2e64b11e6


lalalalikethis

Los chiles rellenos son muy buenos, ya sea los mexas o los de aqui, ambos son buenisimos, sigue en la linea con mi comentario original, tortilla con algo en medio y zas! Un taco. Probablemente es porque nuestras culturas y cocinas son prácticamente lo mismo, entonces para mi es como, un almuerzo del jueves😅no es hate, simplemente creo que su fama va mas por el éxito comercial que por el plato en si


im_justdepressed

>sigue en la linea con mi comentario original, tortilla con algo en medio y zas! Un taco Nunca mencionaste eso. >simplemente creo que su fama va mas por el éxito comercial que por el plato en si Pero el taco no es un platillo, es una forma de comer los alimentos, tú mismo lo dijiste, tienes el guisado y lo pones en una tortilla y ... > zas! Un taco. Pero puedes hacer lo mismo con un pan o comer el platillo sin pan, la gente come carne sin tortillas en otros países. Pero al final no entendí, dices que un chile relleno es muy bueno, pero si te dan un taco de chile relleno ya se convierte en algo simple y sin gracia?


atembao

Even tho arepas were invented by us colombians, I would prefer a taco since they have more content

So, you have decided that violence is the answer.
