St. Louis Taco Week is back from Oct. 14-20, bringing seven days of irresistible $5 taco deals for a week-long fiesta of flavor, inviting food lovers throughout the city to indulge in creative and mouthwatering taco creations at participating restaurants.

During this exciting week, taco enthusiasts can explore a diverse selection of specialty tacos at local hotspots across St. Louis. The event promises a wide range of flavors, from street tacos like Taco Buddha's Carne Adovada to innovative fusion dishes such as the lobster taco from Session Taco, formerly Mission Taco Joint. Whether you're a fan of traditional tacos al pastor or on the lookout for unique vegan options like Terror Tacos' plant-based specialties, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Local favorites participating this year include The Blue Duck, Sunny’s Cantina and Padrinos Mexican Restaurant among others.

Navigating through Taco Week has never been easier, thanks to the St. Louis Taco Week App. Available on both Google Play and the Apple Store, the app helps taco lovers plan their culinary route, explore participating restaurants, view taco specials and more. The app doesn’t just keep your taco itinerary organized – it also rewards you for your taco adventures. By checking in at each location, guests can earn points throughout the week. Some participating restaurants will also feature specialty cocktails with El Jimador tequila and drink specials from Jarritos, allowing you to enjoy refreshing beverages while racking up extra points.

Taco Week isn’t just about satisfying your appetite; it's also about winning prizes. By checking in at four or more participating restaurants during the week using the app, guests will be automatically entered for a chance to win a grand prize of $250 in gift cards. Additionally, taco lovers can compete for the title of Biggest Taco Lover in St. Louis by accumulating the most points through check-ins and tastings at multiple locations. The participant with the highest score at the end of the week will take home $250 in gift cards and the bragging rights of being the city’s top taco enthusiast.

St. Louis Taco Week is an all-ages event, making it a great experience for families, groups of friends, or even solo taco lovers.
