The Rich History of Tacos: Explore Our Flavorful Selections at La Vecindad

Tacos have a rich history that dates back to ancient Mexico, where the Aztecs used corn tortillas to hold food, making them one of the earliest forms of street food. The word “taco” itself is derived from the Spanish term for a plug or wad, reflecting how fillings are tucked inside the tortilla. In the early 1900s, Mexican migrant workers introduced tacos to the United States, where they gained popularity. Over time, regional variations emerged, such as fish tacos from Baja California and breakfast tacos in Texas. Today, tacos are enjoyed worldwide and celebrated for their versatility and delicious flavors.
