We hope you're hungry. National Taco Day 2019 is being celebrated on Friday, October 4, and chains like Taco Bell, Chuy's, On the Border, and Taco John's are honoring the almighty taco by rolling out heaping trays of taco deals and freebies.

Here's where you can find all the best National Taco Day deals:

Taco Bell

On October 4 only, Taco Bell is selling a National Taco Day gift set, which is a digital gift card good for two Crunchy Tacos and two Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos, for a total of $5 plus $.50 for tax. If you bought these four tacos at Taco Bell normally, they'd cost over $6 plus tax. So you're saving over $1 with the National Taco Day deal.
