If you’re like us, you’ve long lamented the glaring absence of a taco emoji in the emoji keyboard. The truth is, tacos come up _a lot_ in conversation — certainly more than carousels and the Norwegian flag. Now, that injustice is being finally being addressed. On Tuesday, [Emojipedia](http://emojipedia.org/unicode-8/) announced 37 new emojis that will be added to Unicode 8.0, which will include — drum roll, please — a crispy corn taco _and_ a burrito! This motion arrives after years and years of people begging for tacos to be represented in the emoji keyboard — and even a [Change.org](http://www.eater.com/2015/1/28/7932863/new-vegas-uncorkd-events-announced-taco-emoji-collects-25000) petition launched in January (by none other than Taco Bell). While all of the new emojis [won’t necessarily be adopted by iOS and Android](http://qz.com/429798/the-taco-emoji-is-finally-here/), some of the 37 are likely to appear on those systems. As we wait with bated breath, we’ll seek our taco emojis elsewhere and spend $1.99 on [Texmoji](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/texmoji/id1003996643?mt=8), an app that offers a whole slew of Tex Mex-inspired emojis, including queso, cowboy boots, an outline of Texas and that horn thing Texans do with their hands sometimes. According to [_My San Antonio_](http://www.mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/article/Texas-emojis-for-texting-Texans-are-released-6330305.php#photo-8159143), Texmoji was created by country singer Rich O’Toole and social-media-famous Texan Sean Compton. What are you waiting for? Go text tacos to someone you love. _This_ [_article_](http://greatideas.people.com/2015/06/17/taco-emoji-is-finally-here) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3924710/taco-emoji-android-iphone/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3924710/taco-emoji-android-iphone/"},"headline":"The Taco Emoji You've Been Waiting For Is Here","datePublished":"2015-06-18T12:45:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:21:14.035Z","description":"Burrito emoji is also available","url":"https://time.com/3924710/taco-emoji-android-iphone/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Tech","Technology","emoji","emojis","smartphone"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maria Yagoda / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3924710/taco-emoji-android-iphone/","name":"The Taco Emoji You've Been Waiting For Is Here"}}]}] ```
