  1. This emoji is often used as a symbol of the country or its culture, especially when paired with other emojis like 🌯, 🇲🇽, and 🫔. However, the emoji represents an Americanized hard shell taco, which has raised concerns over stereotyping.[1]
    • “Mexican food is literally the best 🌮🌯”
    • “One day I’m going to eat a real taco in Mexico! 🌮🇲🇽”
  2. If your friend’s a big fan of Taco Bell, they may use the 🌮 to show how much they like tacos. This emoji was nonexistent until 2015, when taco lovers and the Taco Bell franchise petitioned for their favorite food to be made an official emoji. The 🌮 has been added to taco lovers’ bios ever since.[2]
    • “Bring me a 🌮 and I’ll love you forever.”
    • “Just a girl who loves Taco Bell 🌮🔔”
