Solution
a=abs(z)t=y+3
return t>=0 and((a==2 and x*x+t*t<36 or t<1 and a<3)and 9 or a<2 and(t<3 and 16 or t<4 and 8 or t<5 and(x+z)%2+10 or t==5 and(x/2+z)%3==0 and 7))How it works
The taco is shifted down in the grid, so t=y+3 recenters everything so the bottom of the shell sits at t=0.
The yellow taco shell has two parts: the curved sides at z=+-2 (a semicircle using x*x+t*t<36) and the flat base at t=0. Both get color 9 (YELLOW). These share a single gate so we only write and 9 once.
Inside the shell (abs(z)<2), the fillings stack up layer by layer like a real taco: dark brown meat at the bottom (t=1,2), orange cheese (t=3), alternating green lettuce using (x+z)%2 for that two-tone look (t=4), and scattered red tomato chunks on top using a modulo pattern (t=5). Each layer is a link in an and/or chain, checked in order from bottom to top.
