Pronounced "fah HEE tah", it literally means "little bundle" in Spanish.
In southern Arizona, the word meant only "skirt steak" (near the rump on cattle) until around 1980.
The invasive use of the word (to mean "taquito") by mass marketing of pseudo-Mex cuisine by Taco Bell and California-Mex and Tex-Mex chain restaurants such as Chipotle has pretty much obscured the original local meaning except when making purchases at the butcher.

You're such a grubbo, honey, when you take the last piece of cake just to do it.

Get the swear jar mug.The local Anglo term for "burrito" (the food) in Tucson, Arizona. Bean burros are the "vanilla" type (pronounced "BEEMburrows").
They laughed at me when I asked for a burro in Phoenix. Everyone there calls it a burrito. But they always speak Cali up there, so it don't matter much.
