"Oh my God Captain Jack, it's National Taco Day"! Thanks Tina, but I'm watching my carbs.

Yes indeed, it is National Taco Day. The popularity of tacos as an favorite American food has taken on a life of it's own. It's Taco Tuesday, taco this and taco that and according to Daxx Nielsen of Cheap Trick, "Everyday is Taco Tuesday".

Looking to celebrate in Rockford, here are some great local options to get your taco on!

  • Taqueria San Jose Inc - 3725 E State St
  • Taco John's - 3269 S Alpine Rd
  • Lucha Cantina, Inc - 1641 N Alpine Rd
  • Mexico Clasico - 3929 Broadway
  • Dos Reales Mexican Restaurant - 5855 E State St

How many tacos can you eat in eight minutes? I think when I was in my 20's I could do the Taco Bell 10-Pack., and then be down for the count the rest of the weekend.
