Taco Tuesday is here and if we could make it a national holiday, we would.
This delicious concoction could totally become a food group of its own with the popularity it has obtained since its introduction in the 19th century Mexican Silver Mines. Since then, tacos have become a family favorite and a reason to hang out with your friends on a Tuesday.
Here are just a few of The Brew Staff’s favorite Taco Tuesday hot spots!
Big Truck Tacos
What started out as a food truck favorite (They were America’s Favorite Food Truck in a nationwide contest on Food Network their second year) has become a stable on the corner of NW 23rd and Dewey Ave. This place has a choice for everyone from slow-braised brisket tacos to vegetarian options. You can find their menu at www.bigtrucktacos.com/menu
Yo Pablo
Yo Pablo has five locations in the metro area including Edmond, NW OKC, and Norman, and have given us the taco al a carte dream. Order your tacos at the counter, then set back and await the divine cuisine about to arrive. If you want pork carnitas, sweet Chile shrimp, or even portobello mushrooms, they got you covered. Plus, Yo Pablo has a great mission, come for the Tacos, and stay for the Tequilla. Sounds like a good mission to us! Check them out at www.yo-pablo.com
Casa Perico Mexican Grille
Casa Perico is a family-owned authentic Mexican restaurant where everything is made from scratch, including their chips! You will find everything from the traditional beef or chicken to a spicy street taco. And rumor has it, they have a bomb, Margherita! Casa Perico has two locations in the OKC metro: N.W. 63rd and Meridian as well as N.W. 122nd and Pennsylvania. Want to learn more about Casa Perico? Here you go www.casaperico.com

Taqueria Mr. Dollar
This food truck is amazing! They have a fantastic traditional menu that includes Asada beef, Pollo chicken, pastor spicy pork, lengua tongue, carnitas fried port, tripas Cabeza, and barbacoa barbeque. A staff favorite is the carne asada and Al pastor. Make sure and check Taqueria Mr. Dollar out at SW 29th and Ollie Ave. Follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pages/Taqueria-Mr-Dollar
Taqueria Sanchez Taco Truck
Taqueria Sanchez at 4011 NW 10th, offers an excellent selection of street tacos. Their menu selections are as authentic as you would expect from such a venue and the Lengua taco is recommended by the staff. They even have a special drink that helps to equal out the sometimes intense spice flavor of several of the dishes!
