Today is officially National Taco Day.
Now It was actually celebrated every year on October 4th…but they changed it to “the first Tuesday in October,” so that it’s always a “Taco Tuesday.”
The best way to celebrate is to eat tacos…naturally…so multiple chains are offering deals, mostly through their loyalty apps though. If you enjoy the most overrated Mexican restaurant known to man kind…the Taco Bell one is pretty elaborate, with hourly “drops” offering various items for $1.
According to a survey, 90% of U.S. adults like to eat tacos…and around 83% say they eat Mexican food at least once a month. While 17% say they eat it weekly and I’m a part of the 17% group as I try to stick to my south Texan roots and eat Mexican food weekly.
Mexican food is America’s second-favorite cuisine behind Italian.
The most popular taco filling, by far, is beef. Chicken is second, followed by steak, shrimp, fish, pork, and beans. Then there’s the 6% that said “none of these.” So, I don’t what in the hell they’re even eating.
As for toppings, 75% of people want their taco to have cheese. Lettuce is next, followed by sour cream…salsa…tomatoes…guacamole…vegetables…and beans. Celebrate your Taco Tuesday wisely with a margarita…or two.
