Their bites are reasonably priced, making it easy to try a bit of everything without breaking the bank. We think it&#8217;s the perfect place to order from if you&#8217;re with a group of friends who are craving some Mexican.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>They serve up five different tacos, including beef, chicken, breaded chicken, shrimp, and vegan. One taco will run you $5.5 (and only $5 for the vegan taco), but if you mix and match two, you can get both for $10. And you have the option to boost your meal to get your taco with fries, a soft drink, or nachos and guac, all for less than $10.<\/p>    <p><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DJ_9xgjM9Dp\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taco-tuesdays\">Taco Tuesdays<\/h3>    <p><\/p>    <p>Does it even count as a taqueria if it doesn&#8217;t have Taco Tuesdays?
