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.
Toloache, 251 W. 50th St. (btw. B’way+8th) 212-581-1818

@Freeloader Zach mentioned it in the last paragraph: “… they allow you to eat in, or take your order to go.”

@ 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.

So you can go anytime between 11:30–11pm? Or do they close between lunchtime and dinner time?

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.
