It’s going to be a great week — especially if you love tacos.

Thursday, Oct. 4, is National Taco Day, and Taco John’s will be celebrating all week long! In other words: You can get a totally free taco every day this week!

How to Get a Free Taco From Taco John’s Every Day This Week

Taco John’s has been around since 1968, when it was just a wee little taco stand in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Now, this Tex-Mex chain has nearly 400 locations in 23 states and takes full credit for inventing “Taco Tuesday” (they even had it trademarked).

This week, Taco John’s is turning every day into Taco Tuesday by giving away free crispy beef tacos in celebration of National Taco Day. And no purchase is necessary.

To score your daily taco, simply download the TJ Rewards app, then look for the daily code.

Don’t live near a Taco John’s? Don’t worry. There are plenty of other places to get your taco fix.
