Common card · No. 252423

The hard-shell or crunchy taco is a Mexican-American dish that developed from the taco in the United States. The earliest references to hard-shell tacos are from the early 1890s, and by the early 20th century this style of taco was available in Mexican-American communities across the US. Fast food chains began to market hard-shell tacos to Americans in the mid-1950s, with Taco Bell playing a significant role in popularizing the food during the 1960s.
