A taco is a traditional Mexican dish comprised of a rolled or folded, pliable maize tortilla filled with an edible substance. According to the Real Academia Española, the word taco originally meant (and still means) a plug (as in rolled paper used plug a hole) or paper or cloth patch for musket balls [1]. Care should be taken when using the word taco outside of Mexico, as the RAE lists 27 possible meanings for the word. A taco is normally served flat on a tortilla that has been warmed up on a comal; since the tortilla is still soft, it can be folded over or pinched together into a U-shape for convenient consumption. In the variant known as the taco dorado (fried taco), flauta (Flute in English, because of the shape), or taquito, the tortilla is filled with pre-cooked chicken or barbacoa, rolled into a cylinder and deep-fried until crisp.

Mexico
We only have to types of tacos.
The taco with a flour tortilla eaten in the north of Mexico. This can be from really good beef meat, guacamole, some onions,salsa, and lime. There no such thing as sour cream.
The taco dorado. This is eaten all over Mexico. This is a corn tortilla fried with beef or chicken inside. After it is fried you put lettuce, salsa (refried beans if you liked), and this is the only taco you can but sour cream.

Well this certainly depends on the type of taco you're referring to.
There are several types of tacos, the hard shell tacos are known to be Californian tacos handed down by the Mexican population.
The authentic Mexican taco, found at taquerias, is traditionally an open faced, small tortilla with meat, salsa, beans, sour cream, and other toppings on it.
I hope that help!
