Where to Celebrate Taco Tuesdays in New York City!

Updated: Jun 15, 2021

I love Taco Tuesday. It somehow manages to bring that Friday-feeling into the beginning of the week and I enjoy that marg after a long hard two days of work to really put myself together.

If you happen to be having a Tuesday beach day.. you know where to go.
Tacoway Beach at Rockaway

Stone Street


Mad Dog & Beans

Mad Dog & Beans is such a surprising deep love of mine, the one on Stone Street is so much fun, the margarita towers, everything- you won't find crazy deals and a $14 marg is pretty overpriced, but the scene, the decked out outdoor spot in the center of Stone Street, the chatty social people you'll be surrounded by- is really what you're paying for.


Toro Loco

Also on Stone Street is TORO LOCO. An absolute killer time, Frida Kahlo art, pricey and not rich in deals, but a perfectly enjoyable spot for Taco Tuesday.


El Vez

A reco in Tribeca with the cutest outdoor dining and inside aesthetics. Vegan options and abundant tequila flights!



Mid/Upper West


Cantina Rooftop

Cantina Rooftop is so aesthetically cool with their San Juan-esque umbrellas draped over the rooftop- bring friends and get the BIG ASS taco to make it an extra memorable Taco Tuesday. It's $80 which feels like a steal of a deal to be for it to be like 80 tacos worth.

Vida Verde They have a happy hour till 6 T-F which is so rare for a rooftop! They have the greatest Truffle Mushroom quesadilla and a great Marg selection.



Mid/Upper East


Taco Vision

They have HH+Tacos all day EVERY DAY. That means $7 margs until 7 (& you can add a tequila floater for $4, highly recommend). Their nachos are fabulous and also on HH along with their Al Pastor tacos.


Blockheads

I think their HH is on hiatus since COVID but I always 10/10 recommend this place. Their food is impeccable and while they have $10 margs, I always spring for the $30 pitcher to share.


Vote for Pedro Tequila & Tacos

3-7 pm $6 HH Margs, $4 Tecate, $3 Chix Tacos, Chips & Salsa.


Mason Jar

Not a Mexican restaurant so keep that in mind BUT on Tuesdays $3 Tacos and FIVE DOLLAR Margs- it is the cheapest Margarita's I've found in the city.


Lower Manhattan


El Camion Cantina

East Village

This is my hidden gem I'm scared to share. But I always have people meet me here for Taco Tuesday. They have Happy Hour during the week till 6 with fab margs and yummy fish bowls. This quesadilla is one of my favorites.


Yuca Bar East Village

Late HH till 8 pm on Margs & other cocktails and tacos are 50% off on Tuesdays! Cheap so maybe that makes up for this.


Fonda

East Village

If you've bottomless brunched and have cool friends then you've done it here. But with a great HH with Food Monday-Thurs 4-6 in East Village, Chelsea, and Park Slope - it would be a perfect place for a good time.


La Contenta

East Village

In Greenwich and LES, with a HH that includes food until 6, La Contenta is always a good choice.


Rosies

East Village

Obviously this was going to be on the list. I don't know why it's just the quintessential taco+margs spot on the East side. No special deals unless you sit at the bar and we all know... we don't want to sit at the bar when they have that primo sidewalk seating. So pay a lot for a little food but a lot of fun.


Jajaja

LES, WV, Hudson Yards and Williamsburg- ALL VEGAN. Obsessed with this place and the burrito draped in the Mexican flag- 10/10.


Ofrenda

West Village

HH everyday from 4-7 pm for food and margs!


Agave

West Village, Kips Bay

HH until 7, $8 Margs, $7 House Wines, $6 Draft Beers. Good Singles over 24 spot!


Brooklyn


Vera Cruz

Vera Cruz full review here. But we love a back patio, HH moment. All the food is certified good AF.


Taqueria Mexico 2000

TM 2000 in Williamsburg has a killer $29 Dinner for two w/ Wine dinner or 4 margs deal here. A little deeper into Williamsburg is Mexico 2000 (which I assume to be the same owners)?? With the same deal and the cutest patio- here.


The Rookery


This Bushwick hot spot with a fab patio are celebrating Tuesdays like none other. Every Tuesday they have a special menu of Tiki drinks and Tiki tacos that look amazing!


Mesa Azteca

A great Bushwick spot with an outdoor and front patio with a great, extensive HH till 7.
