TacoTuesday.com is the official home of Taco Tuesday, and as we move into 2026, one thing is clear: Taco Tuesday isn’t going anywhere.

In fact, it’s growing into something bigger, more meaningful, and more connected than ever before.

At TacoTuesday.com, we’ve always believed Taco Tuesday is about more than tacos. It’s about pausing in a busy week. It’s about gathering with friends and family, supporting local restaurants, sharing a meal, and finding happiness in everyday moments.

What started as a simple weekly tradition decades ago has evolved into a shared cultural experience and today, TacoTuesday.com sits at the heart of it.

With millions of visitors each year, TacoTuesday.com is no longer just a place to read about Taco Tuesday. It’s where people actively participate, discovering restaurants, celebrating new flavors, and showing up week after week to keep the tradition alive and enjoy life!

2026 Is the Year of Community

This year, we’re leaning into what truly makes Taco Tuesday special: you.

In 2026, TacoTuesday.com is becoming more interactive, more social, and more community-driven than ever before. That means more opportunities to weigh in, vote, share, and help shape what Taco Tuesday looks like to you.

Taco Tuesday isn’t just a feeling it’s a movement backed by real momentum:

  • In 2025, Americans ate nearly 4.7 billion tacos, a 4.4% increase year over year
  • The global Mexican food market grew from $20.33 billion to $21.70 billion, with the taco segment growing at roughly the same pace
