Cincinnati Taco Week creates such strong, lusty, even insane feelings that we decided it needed its own little manifesto. Please read on...
We expect that these restaurants will be extremely busy. So, if a place runs out toward the end of a shift, handle it like an adult: Go back the next day, earlier, order your tacos, and thank them for working so hard. Please be nice to our restaurants.
People have been talking about Cincinnati Taco Week for weeks. Don’t be surprised if restaurants have waits. In fact, be surprised if they don’t.
Special prices (ahem, $2.50 tacos) bring out the frugal in all of us, but, really, you’re getting a $5+ taco (many restaurants go way overboard with ingredients, trying to outdo each other), so please tip generously. A kind word will also be welcome—these people are our friends and neighbors.
The purchase of sides and extras is not a requirement (minimum of three tacos per order required). But we think it says a lot to those working hard to bring you an extraordinary experience. Grab some guacamole, queso, chips & salsa, and a cocktail, and say thanks!
Snap a photo of those delicious tacos and share your experiences with us! Don’t forget to tag @cincytacoweek and use #CincyTacoWeek. Also, restaurants will be encouraged to post their waits and remaining burgers for the day, so follow your favorites.
These tacos are amazing deals. Many restaurants make their offerings dine-in only unless otherwise noted. (And carry-out may be subject to a surcharge depending on the restaurant’s policy.) Please check with the individual restaurant if you plan on carrying out.
