Do you agree with the following statement? “If you
like tacos, you should consume as many as you
can.”

No. The enjoyment that we get diminishes as we eat more and more tacos. We should never eat as many tacos as we can. Instead, we consume them until the marginal value -- the extra satisfaction of that last taco -- is equal to the cost of that last taco.
If the cost of the taco was always free, then we would eat as many as we can. No matter how little satisfaction we get from an extra taco, the value is higher than the marginal cost, since the price is always zero.

Yes.
Consume them until you no longer "like" them. Reasons for no longer liking tacos could be:
1. Guilt from eating unhealthy food
2. Tired of eating the same thing - lack of variety
3. Ingredients become more expensive
4. Taco Hell is closed for the night
