Okay, this is kind of wild. Taco Mac keeps live stats on what’s pouring, what’s been tapped, and crowd favorites. You can actually check this stuff at the bar or online, so there’s no surprise when you show up. They’re bar nerds about freshness. Once, I saw a pale ale get poured for the first time—the bartender basically conducted a beer tasting for the whole bar. Felt like being in on a secret club. And you know the beer will be cold, because they love to brag about their draft systems.
Order
Ordering’s the best part, if you ask me. Taco Mac makes it super easy whether you want food for home, or you’re planning to plant yourself at the bar for three hours. Here’s a quick how-to, so nobody looks confused:
- Find the location closest to you, just Google it.
- For takeout, try their online setup. Simple, no weird hoops.
- Big group? Call ahead, sometimes they set aside extra space.
- Ask about seasonal or “guest” sauces—they vanish fast and you’ll regret missing out.
And by the way, their staff won’t blink if you order like, three baskets of fries. My friends and I have tested this. They’ve seen it all.
Common Questions
Q: Can I bring the kids to Taco Mac?
A: Yep, it’s a family-friendly spot. There’s even a kid’s menu if they’re not into spicy food.
Q: Does every location have the same specials for National Wing Day?
A: Most do, but check online or call your neighborhood spot. Some have bonus deals or unique flavors.
Q: Can you join BREWNIVERSITY online?
A: Nope, you need to swing by in person so they can set you up (worth it for the first-beer brag).
Q: Is gluten-free stuff available?
A: They’ve got options, but talk to your server—some sauces or wings aren’t gluten free. Better safe than sorry.
Q: How can I see what’s on tap right now?
A: Easy, their website has beer lists for each location. Or just ask at the bar—they love chatting about beer.
