Birthday cakes have been around since at least the 19th century and is a staple for everyone's annual passing around the sun.

There are so many reasons why they're great: delicious buttercream, soft sponge cake, awesome designs, loads of people singing your name, candles to denote how old you are. It has everything.

However, as the years roll on, people have adapted and modified the celebration of one's birth.

This is evident in the way some people are now doing birthday tacos instead of cakes.

The new way of marking a new year for a person comes in many shapes and sizes but a big trend on Instagram shows tacos arranged to spell out your age, with toppings and extras surrounding the beautiful arrangement.

According to Diply, it seems like the trend was sparked by a Houston restaurant called Las Brasas Tacos & Grill.

They happily make birthday taco arrangements to suit whatever age you're turning and can add in whatever toppings your heart desires.

You can get 50 tacos for $75 or 100 tacos for $150, which isn't half bad when you consider how much they usually are at any given restaurant.

Everyone knows tacos are God's gift from up above and usually you can only eat about five or so before your stomach gives out.

But imagine having 100 goddamn tacos to share with all your mates on your special day.

Judging from Las Brasas Tacos & Grill's Instagram, they do all sorts of arrangements like hearts and other shapes if you want to chow down on tacos for Valentine's Day or an anniversary.

You might want to check your local Mexican restaurant to see if they can cook something up similar.

Social media is awash with loads of variations to this delicious and Insta-worthy birthday celebration so your local could very well do you up something nice.
