At the Taco Bell Midtown Cantina (976 6th Ave, New York, NY 10018, United States) from 3:00 pm ET – 4:30 pm ET, Duo and his friends will clock in for Global Taco Day, serving up tacos and Duo Habanero, putting fans’ language skills to the test with taco-fueled lessons, handing out swag and giveaways while supplies last, and giving guests plenty of chances to get in on the Duo-fueled fun.
