Taco Tuesday in New York City: Big Apple, Bigger Tacos at Pink Taco

New York City might be famous for its bagels and pizza, but on Tuesdays, it’s all about tacos—and no one does it quite like Pink Taco. Nestled in the heart of Times Square, this vibrant Mexican-inspired hotspot turns Taco Tuesday into a full-day fiesta, complete with bold flavors, playful cocktails, and a buzzing atmosphere that will make you forget it’s only the middle of the week.

From Vegas to Times Square: A Taco Adventure
Pink Taco’s story began back in 1999 in Las Vegas, where founder Harry Morton set out to bring the energy of Mexican street food culture to life in a playful, cheeky way. The name grabbed attention, but the food and vibe are what kept the crowds coming.

Over the years, Pink Taco expanded into major cities, bringing its signature lively music, colorful plates, and immersive dining experience to taco lovers across the country. Their NYC location in Times Square is a perfect blend of that signature fun with the electric energy of the Big Apple. It’s the kind of place where locals, tourists, and the occasional celeb can gather for tacos, tequila, and good times.

A Menu That Turns Taco Tuesday Into a Party
Every Tuesday, Pink Taco invites New Yorkers to celebrate tacos all day long. For just $4 each, guests can mix and match from a menu that delivers flavor in every bite:

• Carnitas – Braised pork topped with pickled red onion and avocado salsa on a warm corn tortilla.
• Barbacoa – Tender braised beef with onion and cilantro for a traditional, juicy taco moment.
• The Bell – A playful nod to a fast-food favorite: seasoned ground beef, crisp iceberg, tomato, crema, cheddar, and Valentina hot sauce in a crispy corn shell.
• Al Pastor – Marinated pork with pineapple salsa for the perfect sweet-and-savory bite.
• The OG Pink – Crispy pink corn tortilla loaded with chicken tinga, avocado salsa, shredded lettuce, jack cheese, and pickled red onion.
• Cauliflower – Roasted chipotle cauliflower with cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, cilantro, and almond-agave sauce for a plant-powered kick.

Cocktails That Make Taco Tuesday Legendary
No Taco Tuesday is complete without a margarita in hand, and Pink Taco delivers. Their El Jimador Blanco-based cocktails are crafted for fun:

• Classic Margarita – Fresh lime, agave nectar, and El Jimador Blanco. Order by the glass—or grab a pitcher for the table, because why not?
• Something Pink – A vibrant prickly pear margarita that’s as photogenic as it is refreshing.
• Paloma in a Can – Grapefruit, lime, and simple syrup with El Jimador Blanco, served straight from the can for a playful twist.

Pink Taco brings together big flavors, bold energy, and a playful take on Mexican cuisine. Whether you’re winding down after work, exploring Times Square, or planning the ultimate Taco Tuesday crawl, this is the spot where the party never skips a beat.
