Follow the “Taco Trail” For the Fastest Route to Free Tacos in the Quad Cities

The Red Sox won Game 1 of the World Series last night. But for all of us here in the Midwest, the big story is: FREE TACOS!

Taco Bell brought back their "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion. That means the first base runner to steal a base in the World Series would be deemed this year's 'Taco Hero' and everyone would get free tacos. This is the seventh year they've done it.

Well, Mookie Betts of the Red Sox didn't waste any time. He stole a base in the first inning, securing a free Doritos Locos Taco for everyone in America.

You can redeem your free taco on Thursday, November 1st, by visiting any participating Taco Bell location between 2:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. No purchase is necessary, you just ask for a free Doritos Locos Taco.

Here in the Quad Cities Metro, you can snag yourself six free tacos if you hit up each Taco Bell location. We created the "Taco Trail" for anybody who wants to know the quickest way to get from location to location.

For our sake we started at the Locust Street Taco Bell because it's closest to the Rock N Roll Mansion. From there head to the Taco Bell on 38th Street in Rock Island, then the one in South Park Mall, and then the location on Avenue of the Cities.

From Moline, cross the 74 bridge and hit up the Taco Bell on Middle Road in Bettendorf and finish strong at the location on Elmore Avenue. Of course you can hop on the "Taco Trail" at whichever Taco Bell is closest to you and follow the directions from there.
