Two for Tuesday

"Two for Tuesday" has become a weekly tradition with the golf team here at W+K. Every Tuesday around noon we hike over to the Taco del Mar in the Pearl and get two tacos, rice and beans, and a drink for $5.00. It is one of the best deals in town and the food is really good. I first tried Taco del Mar when it opened downtown in the late 90's and I was not a huge fan of their signature dish, the fish tacos, so I was reluctant to go at first. I have totally turned around on them now and can heartily recommend the tacos and burritos.

I usually get one chicken and one pork soft, flour taco, with the refried beans and rice, but the also have meat and fish as well as hard tacos and soft corn tortillas. There are healthier black beans, if you are not into refried or you can substitute chips and queso if you are not into the beans at all. They also have great salsas, with your choice of hot, medium or mild; I find the medium has a pretty good kick without overpowering the food. The service is fast and the folks that work there are always nice, but of course it is a chain, so it'll depend on where you are, and as I said the prices can't be beat. To top it all off, they also give you a punch card, after 10 Tuesdays, you get a freebie. We are close to filling up our fourth card and are thinking of having a winner take all competition for the cards, so one lucky person would eat free for a week.
