Shazam bells, get free Taco Bell. Yep, you heard right. This National Taco Day, Taco Bell is bringing the fiesta with a week-long free taco giveaway from 7–13 October. All you need to do is follow the sound of iconic bells across Sydney (including Town Hall Clock Tower) or pop into your nearest Taco Bell at 3pm, Shazam the custom bell track, and you’ll score yourself a free Taco Supreme.
But let’s be honest – we Sydney-siders love a taco any day of the week. So if you’re keen to celebrate beyond Taco Bell’s freebie drop, here are some of the best taco and Mexican joints across the city to hit up this National Taco Day.
🌮 Sydney’s Top Taco & Mexican Spots
El Loco at Excelsior, Surry Hills
A cult classic for good reason. El Loco’s tacos are vibrant, messy, and best paired with a margarita. Bonus points for their famous “secret taco” – you won’t know until you order.
Mejico, CBD
Tableside guac. Enough said. Mejico nails modern Mexican dining with their soft shell tacos stealing the show – the pork belly taco is a must.
Barrio Cellar, Martin Place
Late-night tequila and tacos? Don’t mind if we do. This underground spot brings neon vibes, a stacked drinks list, and loaded tacos that keep you going until 3am.
Bad Hombres, Surry Hills
Vegan? No stress. This plant-based Mexican joint has some of the tastiest tacos in the city. Their “fish” taco (made from eggplant) has a cult following.
Calita, Bondi
Seafood lovers, this one’s for you. Think beachside vibes, Baja-inspired tacos with fresh fish, prawn, and octopus fillings. Perfect post-swim feed.
Sonora, Potts Point
Upscale, modern, and refined. Sonora’s tortillas are handmade daily, and their duck taco with mole is next-level dining.
Cantina OK!, CBD
More of a mezcal bar than a taco joint, but they do a mean snack menu to go with your world-class margarita. Small but mighty.
🌮 So, Where Are You Celebrating?
National Taco Day officially lands on 7 October, but honestly – every day is taco day in Sydney. Whether you’re chasing Taco Bell’s free Taco Supreme or heading out for a sit-down feast with friends, there’s never been a better excuse to eat your weight in tacos.
