History of the Taco
Friday, October 4th is National Day! The history of tacos predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico. Anthropological evidence shows the native people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish.
When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in Mexico, Bernal Diaz del Castillo documented the first taco feast enjoyed by Europeans. Hernan Cortes arranged this meal for his captains in Coyoacan. It is unclear why the Spanish used the word taco to describe this native food. One suggested origin is the word ataco, meaning stuff or to stuff.
In 1964, Roberto L. Gomez established The National Taco Council and National Taco Day was created in 2009.
Oakland Park has a plethora of Mexican restaurants that serve up all different sorts of savory tacos. So don’t forget to celebrate National Taco Day by getting your taco on in one of these local restaurants:
