Taco Holder
I ordered 3 Taco Holders on a whim a few months ago. I was SO happy with them, I just ordered 10 more to put in X-mas stockings this year. My grown kids and their kids will love them just as much as I do. — So says Diane from this website. It appears that this is the only product the company sells.

Ha, Ha, that’s gotta be the stupidest thing ever! How hard can it be to hold your tasteless taco shell for a minute or two while you pile it on with Kraft Cheez? What a bunch of lazy mocosos…

do you think someone actually made these specifically for taco holders or was it some industrial part made in china already and it got adapted?

I am the inventor of the Taco Tender. I hold the patent. It was designed for this purpose, and it works very well.
Thanks Juan for the kind comments.

I could see these being used at taco stands like those ice cream holders at ice cream stands.

[...] Tacos That Stand Up Looks like the taco holder people are about to go tits-up. Old El Paso has now created tacos that stand up, all on their own. How fun those must be to eat with their big old lateral section across the bottom. Now your mouth and belly can hurt at the same time! Progress, amigos. [...]

I’d say by their comments that El Chavo and Taco are just a couple of losers that are jealous of someone actually doing something with their life.
As the old saying goes “Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.”

Sorry to those of you that have tried to find my old site. I no longer handle retail sales myself. It’s just too much work. You can buy just a few at http://www.jrobsales.com or, if you need 50 or more check out http://www.tacotender.com

I have to say that I agree with Dale. El Chavo and Taco- are idiots… because it isn’t the “laziness” of not wanting to hold the taco and stuff it… it’s the sheer “convenience” of being able to stuff a bunch at a time and eat them. I think that its absolutely a genious invention and these idiots are jealous that they didn’t come up with it first!

Yup! We’re idiots and losers who are not doing anything with our lives and are totally, insanely jealous of Mr. Lyons’ pro-activity and success. I don’t even remember anyone from TACO doing anything but supporting the proudct, but nonetheless….Confound you Mr. Taco Holder inventor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today we salute you, mr. taco holder inventor.
when conventional wisdom said no one could make the taco experience better, you dared to dream.
you knew the potential of your hand, and you ignored it.
you made a three taco holder, and people cheered
but you weren’t satisfied. you said, “wait, i think i can still give more.”
and so the Taco-Mex Plate was born. so dame dos de asada mr. taco holder hero, because you gave every one of us our fondest wish: no more messy tacos…

I think this taco holder is a brillant idea!! When you are making tacos for the family the most difficult thing is to have the lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, spanish rice, black beans etc. stay in the shell until you put on the sauce and serve!!
I love the invention!!

This is so wrong!!!
Let the TACO’s fall onto one another other and let the flavor coincide…
This is just as bad as the
Sleepin’ Mexican taking a siesta on Mexican Restaurant window art.

Wow – just what I’ve been looking for!
I run a small cafe and often offer dinner specials. It’s a pain to try to load two or three tacos at once… and a waste of expensive time to do one at a time. I’ve seen ceramic ones, but can’t use that stuff in a production line setting. Thanks – I’ll be looking to buy these!

My mother had some of these from Tupperware when I was growing up and I decided that I wanted some myself. It is nice to have several made on your plate at dinner. What a great product you have here! Adding my 2 cents, I think it is incredibly lame that people find it necessary to criticize someone else’s invention. If you don’t like it, DON’T BUY IT! Stop trashing someone else’s livelihood with your uneducated opinions. No one’s opinions are “WRONG” Claudia, they are just opinions. Maybe you should consider keeping yours to yourself!
Great Product! :)

Mi Amigos,
If all you do pile in your fillings and eat it, you are having a cold taco. A taco without melting the cheese is a Taco Salad in a shell.

I have been wondering and looking in stores and wishing for taco holders forever, I cant wait to get some. El chavo is probably a lazy fat ass who doesnt even own a table to eat at and wolfs his tacos down while hovering over the kitchen stove letting it all fall back in the pan I can see it now.

I just purchased one of these from Amazon.com for $6.99 with Free 2 day shipping, since I have a PRIME membership.
Here’s a direct link (or just type in taco tender when you visit amazon.com):

Hopefully it works just as well as described. It’s really annoying having tacos fall over in a bowl/plate, so this should solve that problem. Thanks.

It’s not EATING the taco that’s difficult, it’s HEATING it with all the ingredients inside and having them remain inside that’s my dilemma. However, today I discovered an oven safe ceramic taco cooker, so I can stand my tacos in the oven and have the cheese melt into taco heaven with no problem. ta da :)

Just had to comment in reply to “El Chavo”‘s Oct. 20th ’06 ignorant comment of these holders being “stupid” and for “lazy people.” What an idiot this “El Chavo” is! Hello, taco holders are not out there for “lazy” people! The product serves a purpose, to keep the taco upright while on the plate so it doesn’t fall over and the filling doesn’t spill out! In case “El Chavo” didn’t know, tacos cannot stand upright alone on a plate.
