Tuesday is $1 Taco Day at Toloache
I love it when expensive restaurants slum with the Midtown Lunch’ers. Toloache, the expensive but inventive Mexican restaurant on 50th btw. Bway+8th, will be celebrating its one year anniversary tomorrow by selling $1 tacos all day long. They have an extensive menu of tacos (including grasshoppers), but only these 3 will be available for $1:
Pollo (chicken breast adobado, pico de gallo, manchego cheese)
Suadero (Negra Modelo-braised brisket, tomatillo salsa, horseradish crema)
Hongos y Nopales (Maitake & huitlacoche mushrooms, cactus, doble crema cheese)
There is a limit of 7 tacos per person (clearly they were afraid of the Midtown Lunch’ers) but they allow you to eat in, or take your order to go. For a place as good as Toloache, selling their tacos at $2 would be a lunchtime bargain. For $1, they’re literally giving them away. Don’t miss out. 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

@Freeloader Zach mentioned it in the last paragraph: “… they allow you to eat in, or take your order to go.”
-
any idea what time they open?
-
Sorry! 11:30 am to 11pm
-
May be buying a Giambi moustache just to try to get around the limits..

ahhh, west side gets everything! ::sad walk down 3rd ave as charlie brown theme plays in background::

@ mish: y’know, there is a crosstown shuttle if you’re near 42nd, or it’s 3 stops away if you’re by 51st or 59th.
So, does anyone know if they have all their tacos on sspecial? Even grasshoppers? How much will they cost?
-
@stevenp: Must. Read. Whole. Article.
I think I’ll convince a cow-orker or two to head over and enjoy the line tomorrow.
-
Do they deliver? I tip very well.
-
@Dave: ’twas a joke.;) BTW, I’ve never orked a cow. Does it make the steaks tastier? ;)
-
So you can go anytime between 11:30–11pm? Or do they close between lunchtime and dinner time?
-
I like the hongos tacos. Can’t speak to the other two.
-
Just got back from Toloache - the line for take out was pretty long so try to dine in if you can.
Also, the brisket taco wasn’t part of their special- it’s been replaced with the pork one. Keep in mind that they are small so figure about five tacos would satisfy the average person (maybe seven for the average midtown luncher). -
Were they worth the trip/wait? I’m considering going later this afternoon, between lunch and dinner hours. Thx for the report!
-
I went at about 2:20 and they refused to serve us $1 tacos, saying they were “running out of product.”
Bummer. Especially since I have been a paying customer, taking in groups of people on 3 different occasions.
