@jepyang short for pocket tacolator, Tacos Instruments and Hewlett Tacos were among the first to introduce electronic pocket tacolators but I'd be remiss not to mention mechanical pocket tacolators like the Curta Taco I and Taco II. These days most people use virtual pocket tacolators running as software on their pocket tacophones, or even tacowatches. While advanced tacolation can be done in tacosheet software like OpenTaco.

@jepyang based on the other things I've seen named like this.... I think it's a circuit board with a wifi module that can serve a single webpage to whoever's within like a few meters of you. (see e.g. https://oldbytes.space/@Wintermute_BBS/116098322023226261)

By all means, keep going, I'm very curious where you can take these tacos and hotdogs now.

I'm picturing a small, hinged, hard-sided Tupperware the size and shape of a hard taco shell, designed to store a taco without crushing it.

Another term for a travel taco? (NOT a walking taco, that's just a frito pie, totally different thing)

@revoluciana @jepyang ...I am concerned that you are putting hot sauce on your taco...that seems ill-advised

Capsaicin lube exists

But it is out there.
