A Taco Tuesday like no other
Mark your calendars, taco lovers — National Taco Day 2025 is happening on Tuesday, October 7, and it’s shaping up to be a fiesta for your taste buds and your wallet. Originally celebrated on October 4th, the date was officially moved last year to line up perfectly with “Taco Tuesday.”
According to the National Day Calendar, Americans consume a staggering 4.5 billion tacos each year, so it’s no surprise this day has become one of the most anticipated food holidays in the country. From fast-food favorites to sit-down Mexican restaurants, everyone is joining in with deals, freebies, and rewards.
Whether you’re craving crunchy shells, soft tortillas, or grilled chicken tacos, here’s where you can find the best National Taco Day 2025 deals across the United States.
