Nothing says “we’re all in this together” more than a fast-food taco deal for “Taco Tuesday.”
Taco Bell will give a free burrito to “everyone in America who rolls up to a Taco Bell drive-thru” on Tuesday, March 31 to thank loyal customers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Anyone can claim a free Nacho Cheese Doritos® Locos Tacos in the drive-thru or choose free delivery on Grubhub for orders more than $12, according to an update from CEO Mark King.

The letter outlined several additional ways the company plans to help out during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Donations to No Kid Hungry
The Taco Bell Foundation plans to donate $1 million to No Kid Hungry, a campaign to help end childhood hunger. According to No Kid Hungry's campaign, kids in need have missed more than 300,000,000 meals across the nation due to the coronavirus.
Drive-thru-goers will also be able to contribute to the cause by rounding up to the nearest dollar on any purchase.
Free food for frontline workers
Taco Bell plans on turning Taco Trucks into food deliverers for doctors, nurses, hospital workers and grocery store employees.

Safety for employees
Of course, safety remains a concern for restaurant employees during the outbreak. The CEO’s update promised to keep Taco Bell safe for employees to work and for patrons to eat.
"We have strict safety policies and are working closely with our franchisees to put additional procedures in place to ensure social distancing is enabled in our working kitchens. Our team members' and our customers' safety is of the highest priority, and we are incredibly proud of our drive-thru heroes who are taking care of our guests every day." — Taco Bell CEO Mark King
