TacOctoberfest at Margaritas Mexican Restaurant

This October, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant is celebrating the taco during “TacOctoberfest,” a month-long celebration of the fan-favorite Mexican dish, since National Taco Day is October 7.

From 3-5 pm on October 7, Margaritas will be dishing out free tacos to its “Circle of Friends” reward members. Show your “Rewards” screen on the app, then take your pick of a free taco – ground beef, chicken, or carnitas – in a hard or soft corn shell, or flour tortilla. You can sign up at any time.

Margaritas will have a “Taco Tuesday” special where all tacos are $4 all day.

Then, the Taco Gigante Challenges take place October 1-31. For the traditional challenge, the strong-willed (and stomached) will be presented with a 2-pound taco stuffed with four different meats, cheese, salsa fresca, refritos, lettuce and rice topped with queso, tomatillo and picante sauces. Its devilish twin, the Flaming Gigante, is a super-spicy version of the original doused in Fuego sauce and topped with fresh jalapeños and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos®.

The winners get a free taco weekly for a year (December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026).

If you complete the Flaming challenge, you’ll also take home a keepsake T-shirt. If you can’t finish it, you can get help from your taco team.

A separate Taco & Cerveza Pairing will be offered October 1-31. Pair a Sam Adams Octoberfest with a birria taco plate – three slow-cooked beef birria and cheese tacos with consommé and grilled pineapple, topped with chopped onions and cilantro. $19.99 per order.
