Today is National Taco Day

3:19 PM PDT on October 4, 2010

Taco Man salutes you on his special day.

We don't know exactly what it means that today is National Taco Day, but it's here and it's now. Every day is taco day at L.A. TACO, but for the rest of the nation it's a chance to sample the forbidden fruits of the Taco Lifestyle.

Here are some nice pictures of tacos...

L.A. will also have to reimburse the street vendors for their past fines relating to this controversial sign. However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits. This also means that while a vendor can’t be cited for vending in areas like the Hollywood Walk of Fame anymore, they can still get cited for other city regulations.
