In just a week, daily life as we knew it changed, especially for our regional restaurants who were required to cease dine-in service. Some have had to shutter their doors for now, but others have chosen to stay open, making the sudden switch to a takeout-only model practically overnight.
This is a time for supporting our beloved restaurants, but also for maintaining normalcy when possible. And what’s more normal than a Taco Tuesday meal? Be sure to check in with your favorite eateries, as many have new temporary hours and menus, but for now, here’s a sampling of where to find your favorite Mexican comfort food—and perhaps a margarita—to go.
Santa Fe | Kingston, Tivoli, Woodstock
Santa Fe’s typical Taco Tuesday discount—$5 tacos—is being offered daily. Enjoy flavors like pulled pork or barbacoa short rib. Taco dinner entrees and other items on their full menu are available, as well. If you’re isolating with a partner, split a quart of their famous frozen or classic margaritas for $20. Pickup is available daily from all three locations, but delivery is offered from the Kingston location, within five miles of their uptown restaurant. Find updates on Facebook and order by calling (845) 339-7777.
Mexican Kitchen | New Paltz
Where else can you find lengua tacos at a time like this? Choose from a variety of meat, fish, and vegetarian tacos—many under $3 each—as well as burritos, tostadas, enchiladas, and quesadillas. Call in and pickup your meal, or order for delivery through DoorDash. Find updated hours on their website and place orders via phone: (845) 256-5070.
Taco Tico | Newburgh
This longstanding Spanish and Puerto Rican joint is offering tacos, fajitas, burritos, and more—all under $10— for pickup or delivery via Uber Eats.
