Taco Bell Is Giving Away $5M Of Food For Taco Tuesday

What’s better than eating a taco on Taco Tuesday? Eating a free taco on Taco Tuesday. Taco Bell and DoorDash are about to help some lucky taco lovers do just that.

That’s right! Here’s why: Believe it or not, Taco John’s owned the trademark of the catchy phrase “Taco Tuesday” for more than 40 years, but Taco Bell’s long wait for the “liberation” of this beloved alliteration is finally over. Now, the Mexican-inspired fast food chain wants to celebrate—by paying for your tacos with the help of DoorDash! Find all the details below.

Taco lovers rejoice! On September 12, Taco Bell and DoorDash are putting a whopping $5 million towards taco orders from participating restaurants on the food delivery app. Score! (Maybe you can try the new dipping tacos from Taco Bell!)

Even better, up until that date, you’ll be able to grab a free Doritos Locos Taco from Taco Bell every Tuesday while the anticipation builds. That means that on Aug. 22 (today!) and Sept. 5, you can roll up to the drive-thru and get yourself a crunchy, delicious Locos Taco free of charge—no purchase necessary.

(You just may want to stay away from any shredded chicken while you’re stopping at Taco Bell, as one employee recently warned.)

This promo comes in celebration of the liberation of the once-trademarked “Taco Tuesday.” Back in July, Taco John’s relinquished their hold on the phrase so that taco vendors everywhere could use it freely.
