Taco Bell giving away free breakfast burritos Thursday and bringing back World Series promo
Weeks after National Taco Day, Taco Bell has another freebie.
This time, participating restaurants nationwide are giving away free Toasted Breakfast Burritos Thursday from 7 to 11 a.m. local time, while supplies last. A purchase is not needed to get the free burrito in restaurants or at the drive-thru.
Taco Bell said the offer is to celebrate the nationwide return of breakfast, which was temporarily cut amid the coronavirus pandemic. Other restaurants also trimmed menus and hours during the pandemic.
The fast-food chain confirmed to USA TODAY that 90% of restaurants nationwide are serving breakfast and plans to expand to all restaurants in the future.

The chain has created a bedtime story titled, “Sleep Tight, Get That Bite: A Taco Bell Bedtime Story for Adults” to encourage fans to “get some sleep so they can wake rested and ready for burritos.”
Taco Bell’s Toasted Breakfast Burritos lineup includes the Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito, Hash Brown Toasted Breakfast Burrito and Grande Toasted Breakfast Burrito.
Taco Bell then is offering a "Wake Up Call" to remind consumers of the Oct. 21 free breakfast. Text “Wake Up” to 1-866-WAKEUP3 to sign up to receive a pre-recorded wake-up call with a reminder about the free toasted breakfast burrito giveaway.
