When you think of heroes, capes and superpowers usually come to mind. But in Wichita, a stranger stepped up to the plate—and the register—when a family craved tacos but faced a payment glitch. Enter the “Taco Hero,” a man with a heart as big as his appetite for shrimp tacos, who handed over a $100 bill to the Shear family just when they feared their taco cravings would go unfulfilled. Talk about a delicious act of kindness!
The incident unfolded at Tacos TJ 664, where the card reader decided to take an unexpected vacation, leaving the staff and the eager customers in a bit of a bind. Calli Shear and her family, craving their favorite dish, found themselves short on cash and facing the grim reality of leaving empty-handed. Then “Taco Hero” to the rescue! His $100 gesture not only saved dinner but also tipped the staff, making everyone’s night a bit brighter.
This act of generosity quickly went viral after Calli shared the moment on social media, leading to the identification of the Taco Hero. As a thank you for his incredible gesture, Tacos TJ 664 not only crowned him as their official Taco Hero but rewarded him with a year of free tacos—proof that good deeds can come with delicious perks. So, what do you think? What would you do if a stranger paid for your meal? Let’s hear your thoughts!
