Once a week from Aug. 15 through Sept. 5, Taco Bell will be giving customers free Doritos Locos Tacos to celebrate the trademark being removed from the phrase “Taco Tuesday.” Since 1989, Wyoming-based Taco John’s had held the trademark for the popular term. Taco John’s gave up the trademark after Taco Bell filed a petition with the United States Patent and trademark office in May to have it revoked.
Getting a free Doritos Locos Tacos is as easy as walking into any Taco Bell location and asking for one. There is no purchase necessary, and there is a limit of one per customer.
If you prefer to order ahead on the Taco Bell app or website, you will need to enter a separate code each eligible day. These are the codes:
