Taco Tuesday happens every week. (Thank goodness.) But National Taco Day, which this year falls on Tuesday, October 4, comes only once a year. So for sure you’ll want to circle it in hot-sauce on your calendar.
You’ll also want to mark the occasion in the only appropriate way: with tacos. And plenty of chains are making that easy and affordable. Here are some deals and freebies for National Taco Day that are definitely worth emerging from your shell to enjoy.

Every order placed on October 4 using the chain’s app or by scanning a receipt from a purchase made that day will be entered into the random giveaway, with the winners selected in a drawing to be held on October 10 and notified via email.

Salt & Straw: Who says National Taco Day has to be all about the hot and savory? Hand-crafted ice cream chain Salt & Straw is making it cool and sweet by bringing back its Chocolate Tacolates (that is, a handmade, taco-shell-shaped waffle cone stuffed with cinnamon ancho ice cream, dipped in single-origin chocolate and sprinkled with flaky salt — so basically a fancy take on a Choco Taco) in celebration of the day. On October 4, Salt & Straw will make its limited-edition Chocolate Tacolates, which are sold in packs of five, available for purchase online to ship nationwide while supplies last.
Taco Bell: For one beautiful, taco-riffic day only — on National Taco Day — Taco Bell is bringing back the chance to grab its coveted Taco Lover’s Pass, which entitles the holder to 30 straight days of free tacos (one per day, each and every day) for only $10. Taco Bell Rewards members can buy the pass, which unlocks a “hidden category” on the app menu, via the Taco Bell app on October 4.
