- yes, in the north, in nuevo león, is one of the only places that has tacos for breakfast, and in texas, we have breakfast tacos. and those are the only places you can ever get a taco in the morning. - yeah. super regional. i grew up with breakfast tacos. it was actually a road linking monterrey with the texas border that fueled the rise of machacado con huevos in the 1920s, when a café owner invented this snack to feed hungry construction workers. today, highway 85 carries the bulk of goods traded between the u.s. and mexico, and the breakfast tacos, enjoyed at both ends of the road, are still as popular.
