BOTTOMS UP Chacho’s: Tuesdays, tacos and tequila

Roman Contreras SENIOR STAFF WRITER

I must say, Tuesdays are one of my favorite days of the week, and at Chacho’s, Tuesdays mean $1 street tacos. A Chacho’s street taco consists of a corn tortilla carefully cradling a dollop of meat, diced white onions and cilantro. Let’s talk salsa for a minute, though, shall we? I’d like to begin by saying if you don’t enjoy spicy food, you’re a wimp. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them. Th is brings me to my next point. Chacho’s serves tacos with mild salsa on the side. I’d like to emphasize it is literally just pico de gallo, which is a mixture of tomatoes, onions, lime, cilantro and occasionally jalapeños. But the real good stuff is the salsa that is not handed out. Admittedly, I don’t know the offi cial name for this salsa – I just ask for the hotter one – but it is orange in color so let’s refer to it as orange hot sauce. Th is sauce is actually hot, like a “use sparingly because it will leave a tingling burn in your mouth” hot.
