Gov’t Taco celebrates National Taco Day and launches Spooky Taco Tuesdays
We don’t care if these national food holidays were made to get us to spend money, we just can’t pass up $2 tacos at Gov’t Taco in White Star Market. The food stand is celebrating National Taco Day on Thursday, Oct. 4.
All day long, the taco booth in Mid City’s new food hall will be slinging $2 tacos like Clucks & Balances with a smoked chicken thigh and pimento mac and cheese, or the Buffalo Bill with fried buffalo chicken and honey/blue cheese aïoli.
And if you can’t make it for National Taco Day, drop in for Taco Tuesdays all October long, when Gov’t Taco will be unveiling Halloween-themed tacos from the mind of guest chef Rusty Hamlin. Hamlin is the traveling chef for the Zac Brown Band and the runner-up on Season 13 of Food Network Star. One highlight we’re itching to try: “It Puts the Lamb on the Taco,” with lamb, fava bean, (a nice) chianti and cracklin’.
Gov’t Taco is inside White Star Market, 4624 Government St.

Pork out Saturday with Hogtoberfest
After a long week of bringing home the bacon, you deserve a Saturday pork-themed feast, which is precisely what you’ll get with Hogtoberfest Saturday, Oct. 6, noon–6 p.m.
Put on by Blue Oak BBQ, The Overpass Merchant and Iverstine Farms, these restaurants know a thing or two about barbecue, as evident by their menu lineup of hog, brisket, sausage, chicken and beer. Plus, live music will be playing as you chow down.
