Thursday, Oct. 4 is National Taco Day — does any of the other dozens of food holidays even matter anymore? This holiday means that many restaurants will be giving away free or discounted deals on the most delicious of all take-out — tacos! Grab your go-to hot sauce and head to one of these places offering freebies and other deals on this most sacred of holidays. And check your local taqueria, too! Many mom and pop shops will also be offering deals throughout the day.
1. Del Taco
Access a coupon on Del Taco’s website and score a “buy one, get one free” deal on their Shredded Beef Soft Tacos.

Taco Bell is asking people to gift somebody this food holiday with the “magical gift of tacos.” On October 4, you can get a “special gift set” of tacos for just $5. The “set” includes their Crunchy Taco, Fiery, Cool Ranch, and Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos.
3. Chronic Tacos
Stop by participating locations on October 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a free taco.
