Taco é uma comida típica do México, popular também nos Estados Unidos, feita com massa fina de milho frita chamada de tortilla, que é moldada no formato de uma concha para recebe um recheio. Possivelmente inventado pelo imperador asteca Monteczuma; o milho é a base da culinária mexicana desde antes da colonização espanhola. Os restaurantes de fast-food do México servem o taco mexicano (receita original). Este também transformou-se em um prato popular nos Estados Unidos, devido a proximidade territorial e o influxo do século XXI de imigrantes mexicanos. Mas há diferenças entre as receitas dos países, onde o taco estadunidense é frito em imersão de modo que a massa fique moldada para receber o recheio, chamado de hard-shell (em português: "concha dura").
