National Taco Day
-- It might surprise you that the real popularity of the taco came from the popular fast food chain, Taco Bell. The founder of Taco Bell, Glen Bell, created a franchise for people who wanted to experience the taco but didn’t want to travel all the way to Mexico to taste one. The birthplace of the taco began in Mexican silver mines, about some time in the nineteenth century. This speculation about the taco originates from the first type of taco was called taco de minero, which means mean miner's tacos. Taquito is a Spanish word that means little taco. It is believed the word taco originally referred to pieces of paper miners would wrap around gunpowder and use in holes that were carved into the face of the rock.
