Also, this sounds a lot like a gordita. jm: How does that differ from regular (homemade) tacos which also kinda puff up with air when you cook them in oil? do you stuff the food in the puffy part?

I moved to Los Angeles 4 years ago and have found only 1 place that sells them here and they're actually decent: The Puffy Taco in Whittier.
