Satto: no "baguette" so far in mexican food.
urst Dec 7, 2005:
Are there any pictures on this website? How about giving us the URL?
Roberto Rey (asker) Dec 7, 2005:
The text is about a Spanish restaurant making Mexican Food! So Jennete brings up an interesting subject.. how do you translate, as fried rolled tortillas or baguettes?..BTW it's a Spanish web site. I guess the restauarant wants both Spanish and International patrons..so how to attack this?

Chicken Flautas (with description in parenthesis)

I'd just put Chichen Flautas, then describe what they are, since there is no direct equivalent in English. Good luck!

"Chicken sandwich"

"sort of" a sandwich... usually called Chicken Flautas though, and in MExico they are tortillas, I believe.

Note from asker:
A Chicken Sandwich is a completely different thing.. Flautas are not even a "sort" of sandwich
Peer comment(s):

neutral Anne Grimes : sandwich implies bread , I think..
8 mins
we still don't know whether bread is or is not involved :)
neutral Adriana de Groote : Estas son tortillas enrolladas con pollo adentro, un taco en buenas cuentas. No tiene pan

neutral Juan Jacob : Son tortillas enrolladas con pollo, y todo frito en aceite abundante.

Chicken Baguette

Hi,
In Mexico they are long rolled and fried tortillas with chicken in but in Spain I believe they are chicken baguettes!

neutral Alfredo Gonzalez : pero habla del menú de un restaurante mexicano, por tanto se refiere a las flautas hechas con tortilla. Saludos
