Yep, Textured Vegetable Protein (soy beans all spiced up and deep fried).
They tried to remove them from the menu cause they couldnt keep up with demand and weren't willing to contract the manufacturing out to someone else.
The customers screamed like hell so they brought em back and contracted them out.
I love em, but I had shrimp tacos at Tacos German yesterday....way better!!!
No worries

YUMMY. I've often wondered why I've enjoyed them so much. Now I know.
They put in more Chili Pepper at the JITB in San Ysidro than in Chula Vista. Catering to the tastes of the neighborhood, I suppose.

Nostalgia
As was noted in the Glen Bell article, he started selling tacos before there was a great deal of cross-border mingling. The talk about Jack-In-The-Box
reminds me. Although they are currently mostly based in the Southwest, there was a time, perhaps a couple of bankruptcies and ownerships ago, when
Jack was a national chain. I was in high school in the 60's, living on Long Island (NY), when I encountered my first "Mexican" food. It was a
Jack-In-The-Box taco. The product was somewhat different then, in that the finished product was deep fried sealed-up and very greasy. But the filling
was just about the same, lacking lettuce and cheese. In those days, there was absolutely no access to Mexican food outside of the Southwest. To think
that a Jack-In-The-Box taco was the signature Mexican food for millions of people!

The mob ran Jack in the Box off the east coast. The company wouldn't pay the protection (plate glass window insurance), so they left.
No worries

My picture from a visit in the late 60's is still on the wall. Saw it in late January 2010. Not much has changed except Ensenada was dead.

Martyman;
1950s Hussongs & maggies
Part of my earlier post on this thread;
My post from 2004...The original Maggies;
DIVING- HUSSONG- COLUMBIA- TREASURE-HISTORY
It no secret to most "vintage" divers that Hussong's was once a divers hang out. In the 1950 & the early 1960s it was a place that was "Muy
Tranquillo." The music was Strauss Viennese walzes played by a group of locals in the corner.
***The Maggies were huge, served with a glass and the container they were mixed in (at least to the divers) -a few sips and the Cantina was
transformed into another time and another place.
****
Walter Hussong who was Percy's son was a very knowldgeable experienced pioneer diver and a darn good one. It was only narural that divers of the 1950s
and early 1960s would check in on the way south to check on conditions or on the way back to the states to report on the diving.
Walter and Bill Hogan who owned the Underwater Sports shop in Long Beach, California, teamed up in 1956 to salvage what silver remained in the
Columbia which was in 200 plus feet of water in or near the La Paz harbor. (To place this in perspective self contained (aka SCUBA) diving was only
five (5) years old in the US, equipment was rudimentary crude and dangerous use and unheard of in most of Mexico)
They dove it every day for a month returning with nothing but the ships bell which Bill located 50 feet from the wreck. They "did not find the silver"
= and "were poverty stricken."

When in my teens, my buddies and I would sit in the evenings on the sidewalk across the street from Hussong's passing a Tequila bottle, watching the
old paddy wagon pull up to Hussong's every hour and clean out a few customers.
