Another non traditional taco is a taco bowl or taco salad. Where the traditional ingredients are placed into a bowl over a bed of corn chips. Brad199601 (talk) 02:16, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Miner origin.[edit]

"Others argue that the advent of the taco is much more recent, with one of the more popular theories being that the taco was invented by silver miners in the 18th century, however the first mention of the word "taco" in Mexico was in the 1891 novel Los bandidos de Río Frío by Manuel Payno."

This would make sense because English miners would eat pasties. A pastry wrapped food parcel that served as storage as well as food. The first time I saw a taco I thought it was just a pasty made of flat bread. The derivative nature is plain as day. 2001:8003:3631:7400:50FD:2CD8:8930:2A5B (talk) 23:50, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Costa Rica and other countries...[edit]

So I guess we know the taco originated in Mexico and is also popular in the USA. But I am on Reddit a lot and in some Costa Rican subreddit, tourists keep mentioning a joint called (I think) "SpecTACOlar". Do they have their own taco traditions or is it just a popular dish there like in the USA? Should any other countries be mentioned in this article?
