National Taco Day is Monday
Hey, Bud! I saw your list of specials for National Taco Day on Monday. How about some love for Taco Casa?
—Devout Taco Casa fan
Taco Day on Monday comes back-to-back this year with “taco Tuesday,” so a special double helping of tacos is authorized. The Taco Casa chain is known for its generous helping of cheese, but remember to ask for the TC green sauce. (Fuzzy’s will offer $1.50 tacos Monday. Torchy’s will offer its email recipients free green chile queso.)
