National Taco Day Is Official: Celebrate Taco Tuesday With Specials In Las Vegas
It is officially is National Taco Day! It used to be celebrated every year on October 4th, but the powers that be changed it to “the first Tuesday in October.” So now there is always an official “Taco Tuesday.”
What’s the best way to celebrate National Taco Day? By eating tacos, of course! So, as always, multiple chains are offering deals, mostly through their apps. The Taco Bell one is pretty elaborate, with hourly “drops” offering various items for $1 dollar.
National Taco Day Because *almost* Everyone Loves Tacos
According to a survey, 90% of U.S. adults like to eat tacos. Around 83% say they eat Mexican food at least once a month, and 17% say they eat it weekly.
The most popular taco filling, by far, is beef. Chicken is second, followed by steak, shrimp, fish, pork, and beans. Now, 6% said none of these. So I will assume they are vegetarians, and lean towards tofu, maybe?
As for toppings, 75% of people want their taco to have cheese. As well they should! Lettuce is next, followed by sour cream, salsa, tomatoes, guacamole, vegetables, and beans.
