Here’s how to score FREE TACOS on National Taco Day

You’ve heard of “Taco Tuesday,” but the REAL taco action next week occurs a day later, on Wednesday, Oct. 4 — National Taco Day.

The national taco holiday of sorts brings with it some rather tasty discounts and special deals. Here are a handful of ways to get free or discounted tacos on National Taco Day:

• At Hot Head Burritos, the locally based fast-casual Mexican chain, customers can get a free taco when they buy two tacos. The promotion is being offered company-wide for the entire day. Hot Head Burritos was founded in Kettering in 2007 and has grown to over 70 locations in eight states, including several in southwest and west-central Ohio.

• Chuy’s Tex-Mex restaurants isn’t just limiting its special offers to tacos. The Austin, Texas-based chain will offer a crispy beef taco to any order for $1 and also is offering $1 off Mexican beers. Customers can buy any Chuy’s t-shirt with a taco on it for $10.

Chuy’s customers can dress like a taco on Oct. 4 and earn a free entrée, redeemable the same day, and can visit Chuy’s social media pages for a secret Taco Day catchphrase. If they repeat the phrase to their server on Oct. 4, they can score a free crispy beef taco with their order.

There are three Chuy’s restaurants in the region: at the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek; at the Austin Landing development in Miami Twp.; and on Civic Center Blvd. in West Chester.

• And Taco Bell says it will offer a National Taco Day Gift Set that consists of four different Taco Bell tacos for $5 — a Crunchy Taco, a Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco, a Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco, and a Fiery Doritos Locos Taco. As always, the promotional offer is good at participating locations only. And we have plenty of Taco Bell locations in southwest and west-central Ohio.
