History, tradition and origin
Wrapping food in a soft corn tortilla is as old as Mexican civilisation. The word taco came into use in the 1800s, possibly from silver miners. Each region has its fillings: grilled beef in the north, battered fish on the Pacific coast, and pork cooked on a vertical spit brought by Lebanese immigrants. Tacos are eaten standing at street stands, day and night.
Food economy and industry
Taco stands are among the most common small businesses in Mexico, often family-run for generations. Corn tortillas are made fresh daily in neighbourhood shops. Mexican cuisine is recognised by UNESCO, and tacos have become a global restaurant category, driving exports of avocados, limes and chilies.
