One specific filling did. Not tacos as a whole. Your comment is misleading

The above commenter didn't read the article they posted. Al pastor, the specific type of meat used for Tacos al pastor, are Lebanese in origin. Tacos predate the Spanish conquest.

Read the article more closely. Tacos al pastor (which is just a type of filling) have immigrant roots. Tacos as a concept are Mexican and predate them by centuries.
