National Taco Day: Where To Chow Down In Davidson

DAVIDSON, NC — And here we were thinking it was supposed to be Taco Tuesday. But, as it turns out, Wednesday, Oct. 4, is National Taco Day.

According to the celebration's website, Americans ate more than 4.5 billion tacos last year. That's 490,000 miles of tacos — enough to take you to the moon and back — or 775 million pounds of the tasty Mexican entree, equal to the weight of two Empire State Buildings.

We don't expect you to put down quite that many tacos on Wednesday all by yourself. But, now that we've put the idea in your head, we bet you're thinking about grabbing two or three for lunch.

Here's a look at 10 of the top spots in Davidson to have a taco, according to Yelp.com reviews.
