National Taco Day, which kicks off the month on Oct. 1, is extra spicy because it's also on a Tuesday – Taco Tuesday.
The tortilla-filled festivities came into alignment earlier this month when Taco Bell and the National Day Calendar announced National Taco Day, previously celebrated each year on Oct. 4, going forward would always be on the first Tuesday in October.
The opportunity arose after Taco John's relinquished its "Taco Tuesday" trademark amid disputes over the rightful ownership of the name – and after Taco Bell started an online petition to get the trademark freed so all restaurants could use it.
“For years, we’ve celebrated National Taco Day on October 4th, but it’s always felt like there was a bigger opportunity to align it with something even more special – Taco Tuesday,” National Day Calendar founder Marlo Anderson said at the time. This combination creates "the Taco Tuesday of all Taco Tuesdays," he said.
This year, there are seemingly taco deals to be found on both Oct. 1 and Oct. 4, and even all month long. Here's where and how to score the deals.
