Not all awards are created equal. This is where Taco Legends are decided.
TacoTuesday.com, the digital home of America’s favorite weekly food tradition, proudly announces the evolution of The Golden Taco Awards a nationwide, community-powered search to discover and celebrate the most beloved taco destinations across the United States.
In partnership with Food & Beverage Magazine, the leading digital publication dedicated to the food and beverage industry, this collaboration brings together two influential platforms to elevate restaurants, support industry partners, and spotlight the taco spots that have earned true legendary status.
“At Food & Beverage Magazine, we’re always looking to align with platforms that celebrate excellence in a meaningful way,” said Michael Politz, Publisher of Food & Beverage Magazine. “We’re thrilled to partner with TacoTuesday.com together, we’re creating a powerful platform that unites the industry, supports our partners, and shines a national spotlight on the Taco Legends defining taco culture across America.”
A Nationwide Search for Taco Legends
At the heart of this initiative is a bold mission: to uncover the “Taco Legends” the taco spots everyone talks about, raves about, and returns to week after week.
As Golden Taco Awards programs emerge across the country, TacoTuesday.com is intentionally setting out to stand apart and lead the category. Not all awards are created equal, and this platform is designed to rise above the noise by focusing on what truly defines greatness: real community passion, loyal followings, and tacos people can’t stop talking about.
This isn’t about fleeting popularity it’s about legacy.
It’s about identifying the taco spots that have already earned legendary status in their communities.
Powered by a dedicated voting platform at GoldenTacoAwards.com, taco lovers nationwide are invited to support their favorite local restaurants in a dynamic, month-by-month regional competition launching April 1st.

This is where fandom meets flavor.
This is where local favorites rise above the noise.
This is where Taco Legends are decided.
