National Taco Day

Orlando is an amazing city for foodies, and if you love tacos, you’ll definitely want to take part in the return of Orlando Taco Week, hosted by the Orlando Weekly.

This year’s event will actually run almost two weeks, giving foodies more of a chance to get out and enjoy the tacos.

From April 20 through May 4 (one day short of Cinco de Mayo), participating restaurants will be offering $5 taco specials to enjoy. Other specials and the regular menus will also be available.

Still not feeling safe enough to dine in? Take-out will be available at participating locations with a $5 fee per order (limited to five $5 taco specials per take-out order).

  • There may be waits. Be patient, please.
  • These restaurants are working hard, so maybe order a drink or side in addition to the special.
  • If you post to social media, don’t forget to use the hashtag #OrlandoTacoWeek.
