If you live in SA, you probably have a regular breakfast taco order. In fact, there's a good chance you stick to that same routine every time you step up to the counter or pull into the drive-thru.

Those taco choices are important, because they say a lot about who you are and what makes you tick. Kind of like a zodiac sign, a favorite type of candy or a go-to alcoholic spirit. For example, are you the kind of simple soul who craves a dependable bean and cheese, or are you the type who lives big and isn't afraid to tear into carne guisada as the day begins?

From classics available at any corner taqueria to specialty items only found at specific restaurants, here are 20 San Antonio breakfast taco orders and what they say about you as a human being.

Anything from your neighborhood taqueria
You value Puro San Antonio energy, and support your fam at every turn — and that’s not difficult when the support involves something as tasty as tacos on handmade tortillas. Easy or not, you go the extra mile for loyalty, and that likely translates to the rest of your life.

Chorizo & Egg
You’re easily bored with mundane routines, and uber self-sufficient. Folks who add fiery green salsa are decisive, but can be aggressive.

The Chorizo & Papa Especial from Las Palapas
You crave novelty, excitement and stimulation and are seductive and flirtatious in romance and gregarious, witty and charming in social situations.

Papa Ranchera
This taco setup is one for the rebels, and we’re not mad at it. This alternative to a meat-filled taco option is still hearty and gets the job done. Just like someone we know.

Chelita's Barbacoa
You value quality time and tradition, whether it’s Sunday barbacoa feasts with your fam or pan dulce with your daily coffee. You’re charming and can be impatient.

Carne Guisada
Much like the savory, peppery filling of these tacos, you’re the spicy life of the party and enjoy the moment. You go for the creme de la creme of breakfast tacos because life is short.

Anything from Torchy's
You enjoy excess in all things, including your tacos, which is why ordering a hefty Trailer Park taco — or a similarly overloaded menu item — is right up your alley.

Bean & Egg
Off the beaten path, but we dig it. You don’t need individual praise, but definitely share your successes with those closest to you.

Steves Ave. Taco Haven's Haven Taco
You invest extreme effort and energy into relationships and see value in loyalty. You find comfort in your longtime friendships.

Ham & Egg
You’re boisterous and energetic, though it can sometimes be a distraction to other, more mild-mannered folks. Let’s just assume you’ve gotten shushed in movies more than once.

Build Your Own at Panfila Cantina
This Northeast SA spot offers an impressive brunch spread that gives taco lovers the power to do their own thing. If this is your jam, you’re conscientious, a perfectionist and master of your domain.

Chorizo & Papa
You’re competitive and self-assured, which is why ordering this unorthodox combo gives you zero pause.

Weenie & Egg
Weenie con huevos is the ultimate comfort food, so we can deduce that you like to be comfortable and could be called laid-back — sometimes to a fault.

Anything from Bill Miller BBQ
You’re nostalgic, which is why the eggs and potatoes and other mass-produced taco fillers at Bill Miller BBQ appeal to you.

Chorizo & Bean
This odd combo looks the same going in as it does coming out, and you know what? We admire your fearless commitment to an ugly breakfast bite. You do you, boo-boo.
