There are a lot of Taco Tuesday deals across Los Angeles, but most of them come with fine print — limited hours, stripped-down menus, or tacos so small you need six of them to feel like you've eaten. At Roadside Taco in Studio City, Taco Tuesday is the real deal: $2 tacos all day long, from open to close, with no tricks.
The Deal
Every Tuesday, every taco on the full menu drops to $2 each. That includes chicken, al pastor, carne asada, baja fried fish, cauliflower, and potato — all served on handmade corn tortillas with fresh avocado. The usual upcharges on premium proteins like steak and fish still apply, but you're still looking at one of the best taco values in the entire San Fernando Valley.
And here's the part that really sets it apart: happy hour extends till close on Tuesdays. That means the Buy One Margarita, Get One for $5 deal — which normally runs daily until 6PM — keeps going all night. Pair $2 tacos with $5 margaritas and you've got a Tuesday tradition worth keeping.
What to Expect
Tuesdays are one of the busiest nights at Roadside Taco, and for good reason. The patio fills up with regulars, neighborhood groups, and people who've caught wind of the deal on social media. The energy is relaxed but lively — it's the kind of night where you plan to stay for three tacos and end up ordering nine.
Pro Tips for First-Timers
Arrive before 6PM if you want to take advantage of both the $2 tacos and the extended happy hour from the very start. The patio seats go first, so showing up early gets you the best spot. If you're coming with a group, call ahead at 818-452-9007 to give the team a heads-up.
Don't sleep on the al pastor — the marinated pork with grilled pineapple is the most popular order on Tuesday nights, and for good reason. For something lighter, the cauliflower taco with grilled onions and pineapple is a vegan option that even meat-eaters love.
The Margarita Situation
The bar program at Roadside Taco isn't your typical taco shop drink setup. Bar Director Ben Goglia built the cocktail menu around fresh-pressed juices and homemade syrups — no artificial mixes, no shortcuts. You can choose from three margarita styles: Regular, Spicy, or Skinny, all at $10 normally. On Tuesdays, your second one is just $5.
How to Get Here
Roadside Taco is at 10628 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604. Street parking is available on Ventura Blvd and the surrounding side streets. If you're coming from Universal Studios or North Hollywood, it's a quick five-minute drive west on Ventura.
The Bottom Line
$2 handmade tacos with fresh avocado, craft margaritas at happy hour pricing all night, and a patio that's built for lingering — Taco Tuesday at Roadside Taco is one of the best recurring food deals in Studio City. See you next Tuesday.
