On National Taco Day, you can also visit local taco shops, food trucks, and Mexican restaurants to join in the celebration. Tacos are typically a delicious and affordable meal option even without special deals.

The listing for Oct 2, 2020 for Taco Bell is not correct. That’s an old value menu. The Beefy Fritos Burrito,Shredded Chicken Mini Quesadilla, and Triple Layer Nachos are definitely not available.
It appears that the daily listing for the Taco Bell “cravings” menu for 10 items is not correct every day.
Thanks, Bill. It looks like they removed several of the items. Now there are only 6 items on the Taco Bell $1 Cravings menu. I’ve updated it.
Thanks again!
