Taco Tuesdays

I’m sure there are plenty of folks who bemoan the fact that Cinco de Mayo happens to fall smack dab in the middle of the work week, putting a strict limit on how many margaritas you’ll be able to imbibe in this evening. But then again, you won’t get a deal like this on a Friday.

It’s Taco Tuesday at La Verdad (1 Lansdowne St.), renowned chef Ken Oringer’s taqueria, which means you can celebrate the Mexican holiday in style with $1 chicken tacos, $1 carnitas tacos (incidentally, among the best in the city), and $1 pork pastor tacos. One of each will run you all of $3, less than you’d pay for a bottle of Corona in most places.

The offer is good every Tuesday when the Red Sox aren’t in town (they’re in New York tonight taking on the Yankees) and runs from 11 a.m. until 1 a.m. There is a limit of five tacos per person. Be sure to pair them with the grilled corn, a popular menu favorite, served with cotija cheese and a chile spice ($4.95).
