Every Tuesday should be Taco Tuesday. There are few better ways to spend a weeknight than eating half-priced tacos while sipping on an icy cold Modelo, after all. Noteveryrestaurant slinging tacos in the Boston area agrees, but not to worry: An eater craving cheap Tuesday tacos has a number of options on both sides of the river.

Fun fact: “Taco Tuesday” is actually trademarked by Taco John’s, a Cheyenne, Wyoming-based Mexican fast-food chain. Apparently, Taco John’s knows just how effective (and fun!) their alliterative device is — they’ve been issuing cease and desist letters for decades to protect it.

History (and zaniness) aside, here are the best places in and around Boston to find Taco Tuesday deals.
