National Taco Day 2022: 19 Places Offering Free Tacos and Other Tasty Deals - CNET

seringgusur.blogspot.com

This year, National Taco Day, Oct. 4, falls on a Tuesday. That's right -- Taco Tuesday just got a big upgrade.

Though the roots of this popular dish stretch back to long before the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the modern taco emerged in the 18th century, when Mexican miners needed something inexpensive and portable to eat. Some historians believe the word "taco" originated as slang for the paper rolls filled with gunpowder that the miners used to blast the ore.

When Mexican workers migrated to California, they bought the taco with them. By 1989, Wyoming-based chain Taco John's had actually trademarked "Taco Tuesday."

On Oct. 4, National Taco Day, nationwide chains and local eateries across the country will be offering free tacos, discounts and other deals. Check out our growing list below and come back for frequent updates.
