Why do people call them "street tacos"?

Is it just me or is that kind of silly? I mean basically you're saying it's not fast food/Taco Bell. IE it's real tacos.
Can't we just call them tacos?

Figured because it is the style street vendors and taco trucks sell
So you get them from the street.

In Mexico there are streets lined with stalls selling tacos. They are small tacos and considered a snack.

Street tacos were literally sold on the street. They would set up little cooking stations and would normally sell them really cheap. The tortilla was much smaller and was easier to hold and walk around. You pretty much only had the choice of pick/no pico and red or green sauce.
Restaurants jumped on the fad and sell them indoors now, and there are tons of variations and extras. They still call them “street tacos” because that’s the style they are made.

because the authentic "street taco" is different from the gringo commercialized, fast-food restaurant version. Hundreds of years ago (and still today), street vendors in Mexico sold smaller tacos that were made with 4-5" corn tortillas. They were basically an inexpensive snack and laborers also ate them for lunch. They were designed to be held in one hand and eaten quickly, 2-3 bites.
the taco you're familiar and most people make at home on shells is NOT the same
taquerias and food trucks serving authentic Mexican food serve this as street tacos

People use the phrase "street tacos" to inform others that they know nothing about the food of Mexico.
