A Journey Through Time: The Origins of the Taco
The taco has deep roots in Mexican culture, dating back to pre-Columbian times. Historians believe that indigenous peoples in the Valley of Mexico used soft corn tortillas to hold fillings like fish and insects—essentially, the earliest form of tacos. The word “taco” itself likely comes from the Nahuatl language, and while its meaning has evolved, its essence remains unchanged: a handheld, flavor-packed delight.
Spanish colonizers later documented indigenous peoples wrapping meats in tortillas, and by the 18th and 19th centuries, tacos had become common among Mexican laborers, especially miners—who even used the word "taco" to describe explosive charges used in silver mines.
Tacos Take the World
Fast forward to today, and tacos have gone global. From food trucks in Los Angeles to fine dining in Tokyo, tacos have proven their versatility and universal appeal. They're endlessly customizable—whether filled with grilled carne asada, slow-cooked carnitas, crispy fish, or vegan options—and can reflect regional flavors from across the Americas and beyond.
Why Tuesdays? A Perfect Pairing of Tradition and Promotion
The phrase “Taco Tuesday” has become a beloved tradition in North America, not just because of the alliteration, but because it gives people a mid-week reason to gather, eat, and unwind. It’s a modern ritual that blends affordability, community, and deliciousness—and at Mangos, we take it to the next level.
