Donald Trump didn't exactly keep his hatred for Mexican immigrants a secret - it caused so much controversy that it affected this year's "Miss World" beauty pageant.

While many took offense about his claim, Yelp decided to make it interesting at the Republican Presidential Primary Debate by offering discounts for every time Trump says "Mexico."

Eat24, a company owned by Yelp said in a blog post, "We're not very political, but after reading a few articles on TMZ, we learned that Donald Trump (#HolaDonald) really likes to talk about Mexico. That's why Eat24 is giving away one free taco every time Trump says the word "Mexico" during the debate."

While the company tagged their offer on free tacos, Time said that the coupon codes can also be used for discounts for deliveries over $10 dollars, but are only valid until 11:59PM on Thursday.

Trump's Anti-Mexico rant aside, what went on during the debate preliminaries? As usual, Trump is the one to watch.

CNN reported that the real estate mogul delivered an explosive speech Thursday night, attacking his rivals on stage, jousting with moderators, and of course, drawing jeers and laughter from the audience because... well, he's Donald Trump.

True to his form, he refused to apologize for anything at all.

Of course, the nine other candidates seemed to draw pride every time Trump makes a blunder.

No matter how often the moderators tried to corner the mogul on the inconsistencies of his platform, as well as his vulnerabilities as a candidate, he never budged on his stance.

Other contestants fared better during the two-hour debate.

Jeb Bush gave solid answers on immigration and Common Core - his weakest spots.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin stayed out of major blunders despite being lower on the roster.

Other candidates like Governor John Kasich of Ohio and Chris Christie of New Jersey are full of fresh energy in their campaigns, despite low numbers on the tier.

In the end, as NBC News reported, it was Trump who got the last word with his closing statement. He said, "We can't do anything right...We must make our country great again."

The preliminary debate certainly was explosive and full of colorful language, thanks largely in part to Trump. Candidates were openly showing their contempts for the businessman as well. But let's be honest though, how much did you enjoy your free taco? #HolaDonald!
