Tacos, tacos, tacos: The only way to celebrate Taco Day

Let’s give your office something to taco ‘bout, shall we? Every year, October 4th is the perfect opportunity. Why? It’s National Taco Day, folks, and it is just as it sounds: a day to celebrate and eat all of the tacos.

Sure, Americans already eat over 4.5 billion tacos every year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a day dedicated specifically to the Mexican delight.

We all know and love tacos for their corn or wheat shell that contains all of the saucy meats, cheeses, beans, salsas, spices and vegetable toppings we need for the perfect meal. So go ahead and spice up an otherwise dreary fall day in your office by throwing a Mexican fiesta office lunch with the best local tacos your city has to offer.

Here are the best tacos that our local food experts across North America are most excited to chow down on this coming Taco Day.

Where to get the best tacos for Taco Day this October 4th

Verde Taqueria

Build-your-own taco bar with Verde Taqueria’s mix n’ match options of BBQ pork, fajita chicken, steak or tofu, grilled chicken or ground beef wrapped up in flour tortillas with lettuce, tomato, chihuahua cheese, sour cream, Mexican rice, black beans and chips and salsa. Now that’s a Taco Day celebration the whole office can get into.

Juana Taco

If you’re looking for a variety of tacos this October 4th, Juana Taco is your food truck (and Foodee delivers). They have dozens of breakfast tacos and office lunch tacos to choose from. We’re drooling over the Machacado Con Huevo a la Mexican Taco with homemade flour or corn tortilla, scrambled eggs, shredded dry beef, onions, jalapenos and tomatoes. But, the Barbacoa Taco with braised beef cheeks dressed with cilantro and onions, and lime on the side is equally delicious.

Kesos Tacos

If you’re looking for breakfast tacos for a small group, Kesos Tacos is your jam. If you’re looking to throw a large Taco Day celebration, they also have build-your-own taco bars for groups of 10 and up. Choose the tortilla, protein, toppings and sauces, order a few sides from the chips n’ salsa bar, add a few extra Pico de Gallo’s and salsa and you have a ready-made Mexican fiesta.

Try their Tacos de Hongos with sauteed mushrooms, chiles poblano and panela cheese or their Tacos de Cochinita Pibil with southern pulled pork in achiote with pickled habanero onions. But, of course, they have so many delicious tacos that it’s hard to choose just those.
