Taco Tuesdays-inexpensive deals around town.

This is mmm-yoso!!!, the food blog where Kirk, ed (from Yuma) and Cathy contribute sometimes interesting and sometimes mindless posts about food they ate.  You get to enjoy our creative writing exercises.

Hello again.  Cathy here with a summary of an interesting phenomenon I have been noticing around town- really inexpensive fast food…Taco Tuesdays-deals on tacos at Del Taco and Rubio's and L&L Hawaiian- available only on Tuesdays.   You can get a semi-decent meal (protein and vegetable anyhow) for little cash.

Dsc01927Del Taco three for $1.38 Dsc01928 Hard shell or soft shell. Dsc01917The "filling"…about what you should expect for 45¢…yet quite tasty if you spread the meat around and add some hot sauce and three are enough to satisfy as a snack.  The hard shells are very thin an delicate.  You can get this three mini taco deal for 78¢ more any other day during the week.

The $1.25 fish tacos-Tuesday only-from Rubio's(with a 75¢side of guacamole and $1.38 side of beans.) Dsc01910The innards of a Rubio's fish taco… beer batter fried piece of flaky fresh white fish topped with shredded cabbage and a tangy white sauce and salsa.

Rubios_005  Here is a better photo- Served on a corn tortilla (although you can get it on a flour tortilla, which would make it not a taco). Served with a slice of lime garnish to squeeze over everything.

Rubios_003Last week, we ordered a quesedilla ($4.49)-cheeses melted in a large flour tortilla garnished with guacamole and sour cream and served with fresh fried corn tortilla chips.  It was not very good nor very filling.   Stick with the taco special.

Tacotuesday_002 If you just have a craving for a fried shell, a sort of meat filling, topped with shredded lettuce and cheese all fried in that shell, Jack in the Box has two tacos for 99¢ 24 hours a day…you've had these.  I know.

L&L 003 

Then, last week, we went to L&L in Santee.  There was a sign on the door-Tuesdays only- 99¢ tacos.

This is a photo of the Kalua Pork taco.

OMG! Soooo good. Very large. Cheese, lettuce and sauce.  You can ask for no cheese. The price every other day is $2.19. Try this one…

There are other choices: shrimp, fish, BBQ beef and chicken.  I am going there now and will finish this post later…

L&L 008  Addendum: At L&L, the grilled fish is pretty good.  The chicken is also very nice. The BBQ beef is kind of sweet.  Kalua pork is the best.
