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...
