What Tacos dorados means
Tacos dorados is a Mexican antojito name of Spanish origin meaning "golden tacos". It comes from Spanish taco + dorado (golden, browned). It is pronounced TAH-kos doh-RAH-dos, and it is most associated with the whole country.
Dorado names the colour a tortilla turns when fried. The same object is a taquito, or a flauta when it is long and thin.
This is a site about what Mexican words mean, so there is no recipe here. For the name itself: Antojito means "little craving". These are the masa-based street foods named for their shape more often than their filling: a sope is a small mound, a huarache is a sandal, a gordita is a fat little one, a tlacoyo is an oval patty.
