In the early 1900s, the Mexican taco carts lined Los Angeles, with the women running them called chili queens.

With the creation of “Taco Bell” in 1962, and the taco already a well-established Mexican food, Taco Bell brought it to the mainstream by building a franchise to sell these tacos countrywide.
And because of that, authentic Mexican taco street vendors couldn’t keep up with the pace of tacos cooked by Taco Bell and other fast-food joints.
