It's National Taco Day. Last year Americans ate over 4.5 billion tacos! That’s 490,000 miles of tacos, which could take you to the moon and back or, if you prefer, could, at 775-million pounds, equal the weight of two Empire State Buildings.

The word taco is the Mexican equivalent of the English word sandwich. The tortilla, which is made of corn or wheat, is wrapped or folded around a filling that is generally made of spiced proteins - beef, pork or fish.

Back in the day to get your tacos, you only had two fast food locations and only a few Mexican Restaurants in Sedalia to get your tacos. Taco Grande and Pap John's were your fast food options. The names of the Mexican food restaurants are not coming to mind at this time.

Since it's a day to feast on tacos, what is your go-to taco location these days?
