I never knew that was actually the guy's real name. I thought it was just a band name or something.

I just learned that recently, too, which led directly to making the meme. A cursory, surface level of Google research has left me unable to determine whether Taco is some kind of traditional name, on either his Dutch or his Indonesian side, or if his folks really decided to name him after the food.

If he is named after the food, I hope he decides on cremation, for his final disposal. That way, he would be a soft Taco for his whole life, then eventually become a crispy Taco.

EDIT: just a couple days later, I also learned that fellow one-hit-wonder Eagle-Eye Cherry is ALSO REALLY NAMED THAT NAME, ON HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE. He had a single big hit with that song "Save Tonight," back in the 90s. I always thought it was the name of the band, same as with ol' Taco.
