National Taco Day: A Perfect Excuse to Celebrate Lynchburg’s Favorite Handheld

Today October 7 is National Taco Day, and let’s be honest — do we ever really need a reason to celebrate tacos? From classic carne asada to creative twists like Korean barbecue and Nashville hot chicken, Lynchburg has no shortage of spots that take this handheld favorite seriously.

So grab a few friends, mix up a margarita (or two), and toast to the taco — a perfect bite of culture, creativity, and community. Here's a few of the Taco "deals" around Lynchburg.

• El Mariachi (Downtown Lynchburg / Amherst locations)
  They advertise $1.99 hard tacos all day on Taco Tuesday, plus 20% off taco meals from the grill (e.g. 3 tacos + rice + beans). Instagram+1
  Also, in social chatter and Reddit threads, people mention “El Mariachi downtown has $1 tacos!” as a Tuesday special. Reddit
• Mi Patrón (Waterlick / Lynchburg
  Customers in a Facebook group report seeing $1.50 chicken or beef tacos (with chips included)—even if that deal has varied over time. Facebook
• Trailhead (Lynchburg)
  They note that “Taco Tuesday is a little different this week” and will be serving a Queso Fundido Nacho special—meaning they might skip or alter their usual taco deal. Facebook
• La Carreta (multiple Lynchburg / Madison Heights locations)
  No explicit taco-special found online for Tuesday, but the restaurants often run “Taco Tuesday” style promos. Worth a call. lacarretaonline.com
