What does "Taco Tuesday" mean in food slang?

The structure combines "Taco" (a Mexican dish) with "Tuesday," forming an alliterative phrase that is easy to remember and repeat. It is used to describe a tradition of eating tacos on Tuesdays, often promoted by restaurants through discounts, specials, or themed events. People typically say "It's Taco Tuesday" when suggesting tacos for dinner or celebrating the midweek tradition. The term originated in the 1980s as a marketing campaign, notably trademarked by a Wyoming restaurant chain, and later became a widespread cultural phenomenon.
