A taco is a traditional Mexican dish featuring a small tortilla (corn or wheat) filled with various ingredients. Common fillings include beef, pork, chicken, seafood, beans, vegetables, and cheese. Tacos are typically garnished with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, coriander, onions, tomatoes, and chiles. This versatile dish is a staple of Mexican street food (antojitos) and has gained global popularity.
In 1949, the cookbook "The Good Life: New Mexican food" by Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert, published in Santa Fe, New Mexico, became the first to include a recipe for the hard-shell taco.
In 1962, Glen Bell established the first Taco Bell restaurant in Downey, marking a significant step in popularizing Mexican food among Anglo Americans.
In 1964, Kermit Becky, a former Los Angeles police officer, acquired the first Taco Bell franchise from Glen Bell and opened it in Torrance.
By 1967, Taco Bell had expanded significantly, with its 100th restaurant opening at 400 South Brookhurst in Anaheim.
In 1968, Taco Bell opened its first franchise location east of the Mississippi River in Springfield, Ohio, expanding its reach across the United States.
In 2024, El Califa de León in Mexico City achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first taco stand to be awarded a Michelin star.
