The idea of a Taco Tribe brand first came into existence back in 2012, being a personal project that HelloRyanHolmes wanted to create for fun and was something different. He began to build a brand around the idea of Tacos, and started bringing it to life.
In 2015, the taco character “Paco Taco” was born. Since the Taco Tribe brand was already in existence, it was a smooth transition creating the Taco Tribe NFTs that you see today.
Taco Tribe NFTs is a collection of 8,226 generative PFP (or Profile Picture) images. We chose to launch our collection in the amount of 8,226 as it represented the spelling of “TACO'' on your phone’s keypad. We saw that everyone was releasing 10,000 piece collections so we wanted to be different and unique.
All the original concepts were created by HelloRyanHolmes and we have an amazing artist who was able to bring all ideas to fruition. We also have an additional artist who continues to work with as to create the collaborative pieces and to bring the best out of these Tacos by producing new and exciting content as we progress through the different stages of the project.

In order to diversify the Taco Tribe collection and make each piece of intricate artwork fun and rewarding to collect, this set of 8,226 NFTs contains a variety of different traits. In total, more than 700+ hand-drawn traits are contained within this collection. Hats, facial assets, eyewear, items, shirts, pants, shoes, hand assets and wristwear with varying colors and rarities. New never before seen traits are added to the collection every 2,000 tacos minted to keep the collection fresh and exciting.
Along with many rare assets, you have a chance to collect a taco with a super rare one-of-one outfit. These outfits can be inspired by life, pop culture, collaborations with other NFT projects and more. Currently we have collaborated with over 30 projects, most of which also live on the Polygon blockchain.
In order to track the rarity of each asset we have enabled OpenRank on OpenSea. This rarity tool allows the collector to search through the collection by rank and token ID number, but only shows rankings of NFT currently minted. Due to this, until the collection is sold out the rankings will change.
