It’s crunch time, taco lovers!
Grab some salsa and get ready to celebrate National Taco Day on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
Tacos are just about the perfect meal (or snack). Whether hard or soft shell, they’re quick, easy and everyone can create their own favorite style — from what’s inside (beef, chicken, seafood, etc.) to what’s on top (cheese, sour cream, salsa, tomatoes, etc.)
Celebrate National Taco Day with spicy savings on tacos around town. The deals are only available on Wednesday, Oct. 4, at participating locations, while supplies last. Limits may apply, so check first before ordering.
