    A step in the right direction. Now, if they can invent something to keep you from tilting your head with every taco bite, I'd be sold.

    As a Mexican, I recognize that eating tacos without making a mess is a long and hard training process. Just as our Asian friends master the chopsticks.


    Just to give something to Giz global culture, tacos has to be eaten in a standing position, plate just behind the chin, holding it with the left hand, taco on the right hand with enough salsa to make you cry. (If you do not cry ASAP, don't worry, you will in the next 8 to 20 hours).

    @Drew420: That sounds particularly un-American to me. In fact it sounds very "Continental." French even.


    Are you secret French? Say "Hippopotamus."*

    I've never had trouble with tacos*. It's the tostadas that give me nothing but grief. Pick one up and, on the very first bite, the whole fragile thing shatters, dumping beans and salsa down your hand and onto your lap. The alternative is to let it sit for several minutes, letting the crispy shell get all soggy and leathery. Yuck.


    Still I love tostadas. Dear God, can't somebody come up with a solution for those?


    *Disclaimer: I don't have trouble with tacos mostly 'cuz, as a vegetarian, I don't eat those flesh filled cornmeal cavities.

    this is sad..

    xD!!

    i've never understood how people can call those chips tacos.

    Real Tacos are greasy, and soft, with very odd meats.

    Take intestines, cheek, eyes, tongue, even udders.. those are good tacos :D!

    and sold for only 50cts US a piece ^^


    at almost any corner in mex. *le drool*

    @jerrymedina: The hard taco is Newer than the soft taco because it originated in New Mexico and is oft consumed by me in New York.


    It's available everywhere from New Orleans to New Delhi.


    That's just how these things work.

    @jerrymedina: intestines, cheek, eyes, tongue... I will add lips, bull's nose cartilage... but udder???...


    I have yet to find in the 5 million Mexican city where I live a single place where they offer udder tacos.


    Udder is a delicacy normally served in Argentinian restaurants (at least in my city). Its tasty and expensive, if you got a US 0.50 udder taco, well, you are lucky to either: 1. Find a real bargain, or, 2. Be alive.

    man, i used it 6 tacos a sitting as a child. i, however, was not fat. i remember seeing taco holders like this before a while ago, but it has been a while. it's a good find. and it keeps your taco comsumption down to two at a time.

    Frying an egg on the plate, as in the picture, would create a stuck on mess you would have to scrape off the plate. Not sure eating off Teflon is a good idea either. If you use oil, then you have a half cooked greasy mess. Maybe ok to keep hot food hot, but I dont see cooking on it.
