Hi Alyce, thank you for this useful and fun article that shows the best deals and freebies for National Taco Day. The list of restaurants and chains that offer discounts, coupons, or free tacos on this day. The list of restaurants and chains that provide offers for this day is very complete, nothing seems to be missing. This article is a great resource for anyone who loves tacos and wants to save some money and celebrate.
It’s funny that having lived in Mexico for more than six years, I never celebrated National Taco Day. I didn’t even know it existed. Maybe because every day is a Taco Day in Mexico 😊. I learned from the web search results that National Taco Day is celebrated on different dates in Mexico and the United States. Anyway, I will celebrate this on October 4th.
Thank you for sharing this informative and tasty article!
Hello, Pablo! This article is about National Taco Day in the USA, but I would imagine that you are right about finding great taco specials every day in Mexico! 🙂 I hope you found some great taco day deals to enjoy from your location!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
You’re welcome!
Hi there,
I love tacos but I never knew there is a national taco day! I am a vegetarian so my choice is pretty limited. However, I enjoy it as long as it has my favourite avocado and chilli in it. I love spicy stuff.
It is so nice to have so many offers and contests even on social media for us who can’t go out much. I love it. I hope to win free tacos for a year! Let’s go fo it!
Hello! It’s fantastic that tacos are so easy to customize – they can be a great option for vegetarians!
Good luck with the contests!!
