The Origin of Mexican Taco Food

Despite the origin of the name and how long tacos have existed, what is certain is that this dish has been around since the people of the Valley of Mexico (the valley area in Mexico). In addition, it is said that a Spanish conquistador named Hernan Cortes served tacos to his captain in Coyoacan, a municipality in Mexico.
