This character is Carlos the Star, the vintage advertising mascot for Taco de Carlos, a defunct Mexican fast-food chain launched by Carl's Jr. founder Carl Karcher in 1972. Mascot Details Character Design: Carlos is an anthropomorphic star wearing a traditional Mexican sombrero and boots, featuring a distinct swirl or tuft at the very top of his hat. Historical Context: Taco de Carlos was an early competitor in the fast-food Mexican market, operating primarily in California during the 1970s and 1980s before Carl Karcher Enterprises ultimately closed or converted the locations. This pin was a promotional item or employee flair from that era.
