Tuesday's Top 10: Taco Tuesday - Turn Dinner Into a Fiesta Tonight!

Written by Debbi Spiegel  |  23. October 2012

Taco Tuesday is a fiesta feast.  Many restaurants participate by offering taco specials. It’s a great way to celebrate the middle of week with great tacos, margaritas and Mexican beer at great prices.  Even Homer Simpson has enjoyed his Tuesday taco night. If you're craving your own Taco Tuesday, but having a hectic day, you'll want to check out one of the great local restaurants dishing up these savory delights.
 
In Mexico, the word taco is a generic term like the English word sandwich. A taco is simply a tortilla wrapped around a filling. Like a sandwich, the filling can be made with almost anything and prepared in many different ways (anything that can be rolled inside a tortilla becomes a taco).  A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood and vegetables.  There are also hard and soft shell options.  The combinations are endless. From Tex-Mex style to authentic family recipes handed down from generation to generation, there’s something for every palate. Whether you like it hot or not, there are countless choices to make everyone happy. Pass the salsa, por favor.
