Olé!! Tacos & Cheap Drinks Daily in Chicago!!

I LOVE TACOS!!!

Margaritas        

I Really Do.... I could eat them every single day.  To me, there's no such thing as a "bad" taco - You, my friend, are just not hungry enough.  I love Tacos as much as I love a cheap drink.  Lucky for me (and you), here's a list of little known Chicago joynts you can walk into with less than $10 per person and walk out full and fully buzzed!  Ole to THAT!!

Monday
 
Reggies Music Joint
2105 S State St
Chicago, 60616
 
Not too far from the Redline 22nd/Cermak stop, lies Reggies Music Joint, record store/sports bar/performance space/dip off spot.  The drinks and food here are great on any given day, but stop in here on Mondays when they offer Tacos for $1 and 1/2 off all tap Beers AND Reggies Vodka cocktails for $3. 
 
 
Tuesday
 
260 Sports Bar
260 W. 26th St
Chicago, 60616
 
The city's renowned Ricobene family (yes, the Ricobene's of the famous breaded steaks and pizza) has opened up a fantastic sports bar near their 26th street location (a few doors down and a few floors up).   260 offers great food & drink specials all week long but drop in on Tuesdays when Steak and Chicken Tacos are $2 and Dos Equis (draft) $3.  Did I mention free wi-fi??
 
 
Wednesday
 
Dark Horse Tap and Grill
3443 N. Sheffield Ave
Chicago, 60657
 
I've yet to head up to Dark Horse but have always heard great (though a bit slurred) reviews of this place. Most notably, their fine way to get over Humpday with $4 Taco Dinners and $3 Well Drinks! Grab a couple of friends and you can almost taste the weekend!
 
 
Thursday
 
Moe's Cantina
3518 N. Clark
Chicago
 
Drinking Deals always abound on the Northside and it's always a good time at Moe's Cantina.  Start the weekend early and drop in on Thursdays when Tacos are $1 and Margaritas are $4!!
 
 
Friday
 
Carbon Live Fire Mexican Grill
300 W 26th St
Chicago, 60616
 
Also in the Bridgeport area, Carbon Live Fire Mexican Grill!!  The Tacos here fresh and delicious and average $2.50 everyday.  They offer a Fantastic Menu (try the side o beans) and most folks don't know, they also serve $3 margaritas but if you're into splurging or you know you're going back up to the counter anyway, go ahead and get the $5 cup!  
 
Margaritas
 
Cheers!
