National Taco Day 2013

Hey guys! I know, I’ve been away for much longer than usual this time, but, it’s been a busy summer. And only now, as things begin to normalize somewhat on the homefront (Greta is in pre-school now four days a week for two hours a day) do I find myself with a spare moment to blog.

So, what better way to rejoin the blogsophere than by touting the glories of National Taco Day?! That’s right, amigos, today is all about the taco, and though we’ll be celebrating by making delicious carne asada tacos at home, I encourage the rest of you to head out there and get your taco on!

And as you can see from the ad below, El Torito is even offering a free taco to anyone who utters the words: “Secret Taco”. So, how can you lose? Que viva los tacos!

Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Taco

I know it sounds totally gross, but, trust me, I would not be writing about this strange Doritos chip/taco shell hybrid taco at this hour if it was. So, listen up, amigos, the new (or new-ish, I think it’s been around for a while now) Doritos Locos Taco at Taco Bell is kind of earth-shattering good. Seriously, on the freaky fast food items scale, with that nasty-ass Grilled Chicken at KFC being like, a one and the flaky-pastry gloriousness of McDonald’s Baked Cherry Pie being a ten, I’d say the Doritos Locos Taco would rate a solid 9. Yep, it’s that’s good.

But, like all good things, Taco Bell’s alliance with Doritos may not last long. So, if you’re a Doritos fan and you like tacos, you need to try this shit out, pronto. Unlike myself and Greta who recently declared Doritos to be “her favorite chip forever and ever” (which is a bit scary!) Mrs. Yeti is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a fan of Doritos and even she said she loved it. So, ladies like it too!

But, like I said, there has been no word on how long this promotion will last, so, I suggest you make a run for the border today and check out the Doritos Locos Taco (sorry, I just love typing that crazy name!) for yourself. Hell, if you really hate it, let me know and I’ll pay you back the $1.29 you wasted buying it. Yes, I just guaranteed your taco. Now git!
