Taco (systematic name: 90P7H1V0) is a c/7 orthogonal, bilaterally symmetric spaceship discovered on December 5, 2022 by Frank Everdij using ikpx2.[1] Its front end contains two copies of the loafer's front end, while its back end produces two one-bit tail sparks. It is the third known elementary c/7 orthogonal spaceship, after loafer and 339P7H1V0.
The name "taco" was chosen by Frank Everdij out of several bread-related names from the similarity to the loafer in both speed and loaf-pushing mechanism.
