Taco Tuesday


A number of Mexican restaurants in the county have special Taco Tuesdays so I figured it's about time I begin to highlight them here. If you know of any place that should be added please leave a comment or e-mail me. I will work legitimate information given back into the main entry.

  • El Torito Grill, $1.50 tacos. I think it's only in the evenings and I've only seen them at the Main St. location in Irvine.

  • Rubios Fish Tacos...it used to be $1 fish tacos, but I believe they just bumped it up to $1.25. :)

  • Thanks for the update.

  • All El Torito locations have dollar tacos from 4-10 in the cantina.

  • Thanks for the info. I'm guessing you are from El Torito. I have written to the Real Mex Restaurant people about some stuff and have never received a response.

  • god the Tortilla Flats Tacos sure went up in price.....but I love them. great fried tacos, chips and salsa

    Also The Fish House
    7626 E Chapman Ave # B
    Orange, CA 92869
    (714) 970-7163

    has great fish & shrimp taco tuesdays. Really good. I think $2.00

    I think the Taco Tuesday posts should be featured at the top of the website or on the site as a permanent fixture that is constantly updated and that people add too. Maybe a section that not only has Tac Tuesdays, but lists all the ongoing specials of all Mexican restaurants in OC?

  • This entry is already updated any time somebody leaves a comment about a new place and I then add their info in which I think is a better system than anybody being able to add in anything they want. You need a moderator to make sure correct info gets posted and that people aren't leaving ads for Viagra and stuff. But, you are right that I should probably add the link in to the Help Panel at the top of every page. Thanks for the Fish House info. I'll add that in shortly.

  • Fred's Mexican Cafe has a great Taco Tuesday with $2 Taco's and Big Beer and Margarita specials. They also do give aways - last night was a snow board.

  • Thanks for the update on Fred's. I still have to do a proper review there sometime.

  • I believe cooks corner has a taco tuesday as well. I haven't tried it though

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At March 27, 2009 12:13 AM  

  • Thanks for the comment. I don't think I've even heard of Cook's Corner but I'm going to look it up now.

    By Blogger ChristianZ, At March 27, 2009 12:40 AM  

  • Oh, it's that biker bar out in the canyon area. Is that what you're referring to?

    By Blogger ChristianZ, At March 27, 2009 12:43 AM  

  • are the crisp frescas chicken tacos that you get on Taco Tuesday in fresh fried taco shells or do they use shells like del taco?

    By Blogger Diamond Dog, At April 23, 2009 11:20 AM  

  • Interestingly enough I'm just about to go to the Fresca's in Anaheim for lunch so maybe I can check on this for you.

  • Christian,
    You can add Newport Brewing Co.
    $1.50 tacos , chicken, beef or fish

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At April 23, 2009 12:25 PM  

  • so what were they like?

    By Blogger Diamond Dog, At April 23, 2009 5:49 PM  

  • I id make it to Fresca's for lunch. I asked what kind of tacos they have on Taco Tuesday and they said, "Crispy chicken tacos." It took a while for me to respond because I then went to Disneyland then to another Mexican restaurant.

    By Blogger ChristianZ, At April 23, 2009 6:02 PM  

  • but was it fresh fried or pre fried shells? I already knew they were crispy

    By Blogger Diamond Dog, At April 23, 2009 6:37 PM  

  • Thanks, Anonymous. Just added in your Newport Brewing Co. info.

    By Blogger ChristianZ, At April 23, 2009 9:59 PM  

  • Diamond Dog, oops, it looks like I dropped the ball. When I read your original question I was pretty much running out the door to Fresca's. I'm guessing it's fresh fried but will try to find out for sure soon.

  • Triple Aces to Newport Brewing Co. Great staff and atmosphere. Tacos are amazing. Ten ********** I love this place.
