Taco Bueno gives away free Hot Honey Fried Chicken Tacos on Aug. 25 as its Tacos with a Purpose initiative passes $740,000 in donations for domestic violence survivors.
Taco Bueno is giving away a free Hot Honey Fried Chicken Taco on Aug. 25, the second anniversary of its Tacos with a Purpose program. Customers who round up their purchase to the nearest dollar at participating locations will get the taco, the company said.
The chain has raised more than $740,000 for domestic violence survivors in Texas and Oklahoma since the initiative launched in 2024. All 125 participating Taco Bueno restaurants direct 100% of round-up donations to nonprofits providing shelter, advocacy and support services.
“We're incredibly proud of what Tacos with a Purpose has become over the past two years,” Dani Perales, director of marketing and innovation at Taco Bueno, said in a statement. “Every time someone rounds up, they're helping change lives.”
The free-taco offer runs Aug. 25 only. The Hot Honey Fried Chicken Taco has a regular menu price of $3.99.
Funds from the program benefit two organizations: The Family Place in Dallas and another partner serving Oklahoma. The Family Place CEO Tiffany Tate said the donations have provided more than 4,500 nights of shelter for clients over two years.
Taco Bueno operates nearly 140 restaurants in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The chain, founded in Abilene, Texas, in 1967, is privately held.
