If there's one thing we have in Tyler, Texas, it's plenty of places to eat. Most of which are delicious. But in honor of a very special day today, I want to focus on Mexican restaurants -- or even more specifically, tacos.

After all, October 1st is National Taco Day. For me, that's cause enough to celebrate. I think I eat tacos at least 2-3 times a week, at home or from a restaurant. It's one of those foods that I genuinely never get tired of -- they're such a versatile meal with countless flavor combos.

With National Taco Day popping up on my calendar, it got me thinking about where the best place to go is in Tyler. I'm a creature of habit and tend to stick with my tried and true places, but I know there are so many wonderful tacos to try in the city.
