The origins of National Taco Day are somewhat mysterious, but the taco itself has a rich history. The word "taco" is believed to have originated in the 18th century Mexico, referring to the little charges used to mine silver.

As for when the day was first officially celebrated in the U.S., it has been embraced especially in the last couple of decades as part of the growing popularity of Mexican cuisine.

So, if you're looking for a reason to savor this tasty treat, today is your day! Celebrate by heading to your favorite local Mexican restaurant or trying out a new taco recipe at home.
