A taqueria offering typically includes tamales and tostadas. Tamales are a traditional Mexican dish made of masa, which is a corn-based dough, filled with a savory filling such as meat, cheese, or vegetables, and then steamed or boiled in a leaf wrapper. Tostadas are a flat, fried tortilla topped with various ingredients such as beans, lettuce, cheese, and salsa. Both tamales and tostadas are popular items found in taquerias.
