Bartaco. If you're looking for a fresh, healthy, and modern alternative to your every-week Taco Tuesday try Bartaco. Located in Hyde Park, it offers a relaxed, coastal approach to street food, cocktails, and beer with ingredients from the familiar fish, chicken, and pork, to the exquisite cauliflower, ribeye, falafel, and duck.

Vallarta's Mexican Restaurant. Vallarta's has a few locations across Hillsborough County, but the Tampa Palms location takes the cake (or should I say beef.) Featuring $1 tacos all day Tuesdays and Wednesdays and a Happy Hour from 2-7pm every day, with flavorful, margaritas and sangrias, this is a great deal for your mid-day lunch break or after-work wind-down. Tacos come in combinations with chicken, beef, bean or veggie in hard or soft tacos.

Cantina chips and salsa are also served on the table to complete the experience.
