Taquito with cheese: the classic
The base version keeps it simple: scrambled eggs and melted cheese rolled in a soft flour tortilla, lightly crisped. It is the cheapest taquito at around $4.49 and the one purists order — the egg-and-cheese ratio is tuned so every bite has both.
Sausage, bacon, and potato versions
Adding sausage brings savory heft and pushes calories near 950; bacon adds smokiness at roughly 920 calories; potato adds starchy comfort at roughly 880. All three cost around $4.99 — a fifty-cent upgrade over the classic that meaningfully increases fullness.

What Is in a Whataburger Taquito?
Each taquito starts with a flour tortilla wrapped around scrambled eggs and a blend of melted cheeses, with the meat or potato filling added in the specialty versions. The tortillas are warmed so the cheese melts through, and the whole thing is compact enough to eat without utensils or a plate.
Nutrition Notes
Two taquitos land between roughly 800 and 950 calories depending on variety — a full breakfast, not a snack. Sodium runs high, as with most fast-food breakfast items. If you are watching intake, the plain cheese version is the lightest of the four. Nutrition figures below are approximate and may differ from location to location.

When to Order: Breakfast Hours
Taquitos are on the breakfast menu, served from 11 PM to 11 AM. They are arguably the best late-night breakfast order: warm, filling, and easy to eat in the car. The complete morning schedule is in our breakfast menu and hours guide, and the heartiest morning plate is covered in the breakfast platter guide.
Taquitos for Groups: Ordering for the Office or Road Trip
Taquitos scale beautifully for groups. A dozen 2-packs — six cheese, six sausage — feeds an office morning meeting for around $55–$60, and the handheld format means no plates, no utensils, no mess on keyboards. For road trips, taquitos are arguably the ideal car food: self-contained, warm, and eatable with one hand while the other stays on the wheel.
Call ahead for large orders. A dozen taquito packs during the morning rush is a significant kitchen load, and a heads-up means your food is hot and ready instead of assembled in a panic. Most locations appreciate the warning and will have it waiting.
Sauces and Add-Ons That Elevate Taquitos
The standard taquito is mild by design, which makes it a canvas. Picante sauce is the classic upgrade — a spoonful per taquito adds brightness without overwhelming the eggs. Jalapeños, added free, bring real heat. And creamy pepper sauce, borrowed from the Patty Melt, turns a taquito into something unexpectedly rich. Experiment; the base is forgiving.
Taquitos vs. Other Breakfast Items: An Honest Comparison
| Item | Price (approx.) | Portability | Fullness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taquito with Cheese (2) | around $4.49 | Excellent | High |
| Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit | around $4.29 | Good | Medium |
| Breakfast Platter | around $6.49 | Poor | Very high |
| Biscuit Sandwich | around $3.99 | Good | Medium |
Taquitos win on portability and fullness-per-dollar; the platter wins on sheer volume for sit-down eaters; the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit wins on pure craveability. Your best order depends on where you are eating — and the taquito is the only one designed for the driver’s seat. See the breakfast menu guide for the complete morning picture.
Storing and Reheating Leftover Taquitos
Ordered too many taquitos? They keep well. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours in a sealed container, where they hold for up to two days. To reheat, skip the microwave — it turns the tortilla rubbery — and use an oven or air fryer at around 375°F for 6–8 minutes. The tortilla crisps back up and the cheese re-melts, getting you surprisingly close to fresh.
For meal prep, taquitos can even be frozen: wrap each one tightly, freeze for up to a month, and reheat from frozen at 375°F for 12–15 minutes. They will not match a fresh 2 AM drive-thru order, but as a make-ahead breakfast they beat most freezer-aisle options.
Taquitos and coffee deserve recognition as the commuter’s power couple: the pair costs under seven dollars combined, delivers real protein from the eggs and cheese, and requires zero utensils. Compared with a drive-thru coffee and a pastry, the taquito order keeps you fuller longer thanks to the eggs — and the whole thing fits in a cup holder. It is the most functional breakfast Whataburger sells, even if it is not the most famous.
Taquitos Morning, Noon, and Night
Because breakfast runs 11 PM to 11 AM, taquitos effectively cover three dayparts: the late-night snack, the pre-dawn breakfast, and the mid-morning second breakfast. Each has its devotees. Night-shift workers swear by the 2 AM taquito run; commuters grab them at 7; and the 10:30 AM order is the weekend warrior’s move after sleeping in.
The sausage version dominates late-night orders — heavier, saltier, more satisfying when you are running on empty. Morning orders skew toward the classic cheese, lighter and quicker. There is no wrong answer, only the right taquito for the hour you are living in.
