Here’s Where To Score Free Tacos & Other Deals For National Taco Day

If you forgot to scarf down a taco for Taco Tuesday yesterday, have no fear: Today is National Taco Day. Yes, there really is a “day” for everything, but that’s okay, as there are freebies and discounts up for grabs. 

While many local diners, restaurants, and fast food joints will have freebies or discounts, here’s what larger chains are offering in honor of the taco’s special day.

As always, some deals might not be offered at your local restaurant or chain, so call ahead if you want to avoid abject disappointment.

Del Taco:  The chain’s more than 500 locations are offering a buy-one-get-one deal for the Queso Crunch Taco. New Raving Fan eClub members can get two free grilled chicken tacos.
