The Name “Taco”: A Modern Invention The word "taco" is quite new. It originated from Mexican silver miners in the 18 th century. Gunpowder was wrapped in a paper like a “taquito” and inserted into rocks before detonation. By this time, tacos were known as the food of the working class, which included miners. This resulted in their portable street food being called “tacos de minero“, also known as “miner’s tacos”. The tortilla in these miner’s tacos wasn’t a hard U-shaped shell like we know today. Instead, it was a corn tortilla with a spicy filling. This daily staple was filling, delicious, and affordable.

The Best Taco… Wasn’t Even Called a Taco.Did you know that Taco Bell’s Founder, Glen Bell, found that “taco” was actually a word that Mexicans didn’t use to describe the meal? Instead, Mexicans used other words to describe tacos that varied by region and local culture.“Taco” was a word that Mexicans would use toward Americans to identify the dish. This is much like how the Korean food chain Bon Chon calls their “egg rolls” “potstickers” on their mainstream menu but the dish is properly called “mandu” among Koreans.

That Crunchy Shell.. The pre-fried u-shaped taco shell we love didn’t come into existence until the 1940s. Mexicans patented this idea first to expedite the taco-making process. Taco Bell took this idea 10 years later to streamline their operations. Previously, tacos were cooked to order and were just soft tacos. The pre-made crunchy taco shell made it easier to mass-produce the taco in America. Tacos TodayNowadays, you can find tacos practically everywhere, from your local street food stand to Chipotle. Each place has a different experience to offer, whether it’s authentic or a Mexican-inspired fusion meal. Lately, due to a Millennial preference for “mom and pop” restaurants, Taquerias are starting to become more popular. These restaurants offer authentic Mexican food like Tacos al Pastor, de Barbacoa, and Carnitas. Mexican restaurants are turning away from Americanizing their ingredients and are now bringing the real taste of Mexico—and Americans are falling in love. These tacos are different from the ones Americans preferred in the 20th century.
