Javier’s Mexican Grill in Chipley, Florida recently decided to bring back their signature ‘Taco Tuesday’ specials, with $1 mini tacos all day on Tuesdays, dine-in only.
National Taco Day occurs on October 4 every year, a concentrated and intensified version of the Taco Tuesdays celebrated by many restaurants.
‘Taco Tuesday’ was actually trademarked across the country in 1989 by a Wyoming-based fast-food chain called Taco John’s, except in New Jersey, where the trademark had already been claimed by Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar back in 1882.
However, nobody needs to worry about the legality of what their dinner is called.
On National Taco Day, we only need to grab some tortillas and stuff them with savory fillings, from the traditional carne asada, cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream, to more exotic gustatory delights like fish, chorizo, even tongue, to name only a few of the meat component alternatives.
Even the word ‘stuff’ is no accident, as many believe that the word taco derives from the Spanish ataco, meaning ‘to stuff’.
Check out Javier’s Mexican Grill, at 1414 Main Street in downtown Chipley, Florida, for a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine, including the ubiquitous taco, as seen below, as every day is ‘taco day’.
