Taco stand

Etymology

The term "taco stand" is a combination of the words "taco", a traditional Mexican dish, and "stand", referring to a small, often temporary, venue. The word "taco" in itself is of uncertain etymology, with theories suggesting it may derive from Nahuatl words meaning "half" or "in the middle", in reference to the way it is filled.
