Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
During the pandemic, we're all trying to find ways to celebrate, and the upcoming National Taco Day is just another reason. There are countless national food holidays, but considering many of us like to eat tacos every day, we’ll go ahead and use this Oct. 4 “holiday” as an excuse to keep talking about them.
One thing you can do is support your local and/or favorite taquerias not just on National Taco Day but every day. Many local taquerias have had to adapt to the pandemic by adding takeout windows and patios, so the options to celebrate in Dallas are plentiful.
We all have our favorite taqueria or taco spot; if you can’t make it out to grab tacos yourself, make sure you tell all your friends to go celebrate National Taco Day.
Local taquerias — and for that matter, plenty of other restaurants that have concepts well beyond Mexican food — are having weekend-long celebrations with taco and drink specials starting today, so check their social media pages to find out where the party is in your area.
