National Taco Day is Tuesday, October 6, 2026!
The date for this food holiday going forward will be the first Tuesday in October each year, so it will always align with Taco Tuesday deals. (In the past, this food holiday was a set date of October 4th.)
Several restaurants are celebrating with food specials — and we’re adding more deals and offers as we find them.
Here’s what we have so far. Follow the links for more info and to find locations near you.
Remember, not every location participates in every deal, so you may want to call to verify before you head out.
Also — many Tex-Mex restaurants not on this list have “Taco Tuesday” deals each and every week, so you may want to check with your favorite venue to see what they’re offering.

Double-Check Before You Head Out!

We can't verify participation with all metro Atlanta locations, so we encourage you to contact your preferred location to verify on your own. In addition, limited time offers can end without warning. And, many food deals are not valid when you order from a 3rd party delivery service.
