I think that they, like the Bonanzas, are iconic and are representative of the whole mini bike craze back in the day. One buddy had a Burrito (22) and another had a Frijole. I had a Superflea and it was far and away a better ride than either of the Tacos. The Frijole was a poor man's mini back in the day. I grew up in So. Ca. and Tacos were quite prevalent. I never saw another Superflea back then.

....And like this 1969 Taco 22 I picked up today for $125.00 add an extra
waterpipe for a footpeg, lay back and soak up the scenery.
After a ride or two you can remove the front fork for a Myers Lynx project,
and sell a cat front wheel, generic rear wheel, a seat, an engine/clutch setup,
and the rear piece of a Taco frame at a Minibike Yardsale, and get some extra money in your pocket.
Sporty-looking little frames they be.
