Taco

"Why'd I give you so much money for a taco? BECAUSE I'M CRAAAAZY!!!!"

- Crazy Dave

The Magic Taco is an item obtained at the end of Level 4-4 in Adventure Mode on the first time it is completed. After the level, Crazy Dave will take the Taco and give a diamond in return. He will also show the player new items at his shop, like the slot for the Gloom-shroom and Cattail. In the iOS and Android versions, the player gets bacon. It is possible to return to the main menu and even exit the game after getting the taco, but before selling it to Crazy Dave. In this case, the player will retain it, until they begin Level 4-5, at which time Crazy Dave will purchase it. It is possible to get the player back their taco after Crazy Dave has bought it using the user file editor, in which case he will purchase it again if the player starts Level 4-5 again, even if the player has already won Adventure Mode.

The Magic Taco plays a pivotal role in Plants vs. Zombies 2 when the player obtains hot sauce after completing the tutorial and Crazy Dave saves the taco just for hot sauce. Crazy Dave then decides to go back in time so he can eat it again, but "accidentally" ends up in Ancient Egypt. The Magic Taco is the main plot point for the game, as the player travels through different time periods to try and find it.

Plants vs. Zombies

 * It is unclear what its magical properties are, or why Crazy Dave would pay $1000 for it, although this may just demonstrate his craziness or it may also have to do with the cardboard plants moving and attacking the zombies from the I, Zombie levels, which makes sense because Puzzle Mode is unlocked at Level 4-6, the first normal level played after getting the magic taco.
 * On PopCap Games twitter, they asked what was in the taco.
 * Unlike the bacon, the taco is not sold in Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies.

Plants vs. Zombies 2

 * Crazy Dave reveals at the end of the Dr. Zomboss fight in Ancient Egypt that the taco does not have meat, but rather "Tofunky."
 * However, in the picture of the taco, it has meat in it.
 * Before the Zomboss battle, Dr. Zomboss says that the taco had brains in it. This is later proven false.
