Land of the free, and home of the brave! Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸

My heart is overflowing with gratitude today. I love this beautiful country, and it truly blesses my soul to celebrate America’s incredible milestone—250 years of liberty and strength.

We will always be one nation under God, and today, we honor and remember every single hero and citizen who has contributed to America’s enduring greatness. ❤️🤍💙

Independence Day Schedule Update!

• Our main location at 312 Derby St. will be CLOSED today so our hard-working team can celebrate freedom with their families.

• BUT... GOOD NEWS! (Drumroll, please... 🥁)

The celebration doesn't stop! Paco’s Taco Express is officially heading to the Pekin Stadium!

Yes, you heard that right! Our little heartbeat—our beloved taco trailer—will be stationed once again right inside the stadium, proudly celebrating the red, white, and blue alongside our amazing community.

Come fuel up on your favorites while we salute our great nation together!

May God bless you, may God bless your families, and may God continue to bless the United States of America!

Have a safe, proud, and joyful holiday. I can’t wait to see you all back at the counter next week!

See you in the Pekin Stadium, bringing our famous Tacos, burritos, quesadillas and much more!!
