National Taco Day: Where to Find the Best Tacos in Cambridge

CAMBRIDGE, MA —It's National Taco Day! Although it may have been better suited for yesterday, (Taco Tuesday, anyone?), today, Oct. 4, is National Taco Day. For that special occasion we've compiled a list and map of the best Mexican spots to grab some tacos in Cambridge.

As a note, we've only included one location of Anna's Taqueria and Qdoba on this map, even though there are many in the area.

According to the National Taco Day 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.
