On Tuesday, Taco Bell is giving away free Doritos Locos Tacos to anyone who shows up at its drive-thrus.
No purchase is necessary to obtain a free taco. All you have to do is show up.
"It's a small way for us to say thank you for the ways you're showing up for your communities and our chance to give you a little TLC during this time," Taco Bell CEO Mark King said in a press release addressing the chain's customers.
The offer is available at participating locations while supplies last.
The chain is also offering free delivery through Grubhub on orders over $12.
"For many of you, delivery is more than just an option - it's a necessity," King said.
Fast-food chains have not been immune to the financial devastation of the pandemic. The loss of foot traffic has dealt a deadly blow to many restaurants, and larger chains have also been forced to take drastic measures to adapt. McDonald's, for example, temporarily cut its beloved all-day breakfast menu and pared down its offerings in preparation for reduced traffic.
