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, sometime in the nineteenth century. This speculation about the taco originates from the first type of taco, which was called taco de minero, which means 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.

Read: American Tacos
-- In search of every taco variety from California to Texas and beyond, Ralat traveled from coast to coast and border to border, visiting thirty-eight cities across the country. He examines the pervasive crunchy taco and the new Alta California tacos from chefs Wes Avila, Christine Rivera, and Carlos Salgado. He tastes famous Tex-Mex tacos like the puffy taco and breakfast taco, then tracks down the fry bread taco and the kosher taco. He searches for the regional hybrid tacos of the American South and the modern, chef-driven tacos of restaurants everywhere. Throughout, he tells the story of how each style of taco came to be, creating a rich look at the diverse taco landscape north of the border. Featuring interviews with taqueros and details on taco paraphernalia and the trappings of taco culture, American Tacos is a book no taco fan will want to take a bite out of.
