Whether its crunchy or soft-shell, there's room for plenty on National Taco Day.

Wednesday is the day to celebrate one of Mexico's most beloved dishes.

Last year, Americans ate more than 4.5 billion tacos.

That's roughly equivalent to 775 million pounds, or the weight of two Empire State Buildings.

If you're hankering for something delicious today, there's plenty of deals at taco joints around the city, including at major chains like Taco Bell and Qdoba.
