The puffy taco emerged on San Antonio's West Side in the mid-20th century. Ray Lopez opened Ray's Drive Inn in 1956 and trademarked the Original Puffy Taco, while his brother Henry opened Henry's Puffy Tacos on West Woodlawn, and the two family operations have traded claims to the dish ever since. The puffy taco is now so identified with the city that the local minor-league baseball team's mascot is a running puffy taco.
