tostada

A tostada is made and served completely differently.

At least one person in the office has a Au Parc tostada ($7) in here just about every day.

There is another mexican dish, the tostada which incorporates those ingredients.

I cannot buy a hamburger and taco bell, or tacos and tostada's at McDonald's.

I generally agree with most of your assessments and classifications, but: I can definitely eat a tostada with one hand (if it's crispy).

Cantaloupe with jamón (cured pork ham) for lunch and tostada con aceite y tomate (tomato rubbed on a toast with olive oil) for breakfast are both everyday treats in menus in Spain.

A taco is whatever you can put inside a tortilla (not a shell; if you are eating something in a shell, unless it’s a dry thin extended tortilla, called tostada, it’s not mexican food as found in México (mexican-american, maybe)), unless it’s a quesadilla.

To me, a taco is a folded tostada (when I worked at a mexican restaurant, we also had a bowl-shaped tostada ("salad in a bread bowl").

Honestly the disdain for them is a _little_ silly when they're not that different from a tostada (in fact, Taco Bell, in their failed foray into Mexico, called their tacos "Tacostadas" to give Mexican customers the idea).

If you like lagers and don't drink alcohol, I've found those from Fee Damm (Estrella)[1] and Luckysaint[2] to not cause any issues either, particularly the 'Tostada Amber' from Free Damm and the larger from Luckysaint (Their Hazy IPA is great too!).
