In the Mexican state of Morelos, a neighbor of Puebla, hardboiled egg is a common taco supplement, and "acorazado" — "battleship" — is a catch-all term for heavily loaded menu items. It's not a name I had at the ready when I first sighted the previous fellow's torta de papa taco with rice, egg, and rajas ($3), but a nod in his direction helped me secure the same.

Acorazado also, and more commonly, means battleship. As in Potemkin.
