There many stories related to the origins of the Tequeños Venezolanos; however, the most logical one points to the city of Los Teques which used to be a vacation site back in the early 1920s. Hence, the name. The truth is that there is no Venezuelan party or gathering without Tequeños. With the Venezuelan emigration they are becoming world famous. In the United States, especially in Florida, they can be found almost in every city.
Tequeños have many variations. Some Venezuelan locations have different recipes from their wrap to their fill. For example, in the Zulia region they make them with ripe bananas wrap. Tequeños are also popular in other Latin American countries like Colombia, Perú, and Ecuador among others. A few variants that are becoming increasingly well-known every day have different fillings, such as guava, cheese and ham, and ham-filled only. In Spain for instance, they fill them with chorizo and other cold cuts.
