Mind if we spill the beans? Whether you like a discounted price tag with pairings, or a bite with all the fixins’, lettuce tell you where to go for a taco Tuesday-filled evening in Music City.

Dishing the (Tuesday) deals

Bungalow 10 | The Hillsboro Village restaurant boasts regional specials on select nights of the week, like its $2 chicken or beef tacos and $35 bottomless margarita.

Butchertown Hall | Hungry for a deal beyond the day? During happy hour (Monday-Thursday, 3-5 p.m. + Sunday, 4-6 p.m.), you can choose from six taco varieties for the restaurant’s two for $10 or three for $14 special.

Las Palmas Mexican Restaurante | With nine convenient locations across the city, getting half-off tacos from 5 to 8 p.m. is a deal that’s easy to dig into.

Tio Fun! | The Franklin location (with the North Nashville flagship to soon follow) serves $3.50 tacos and $7 house margaritas all day.

Oscar’s Taco Shop | Pay the fast-casual eatery a visit beginning at 3 p.m. for over five taco options priced at just over $2.

PARK(ing) Day, a global event temporarily repurposing street parking spaces into parks, has undergone many iterations in its decade-long Nashville tenure.

In 2023, Civic Design Center switched things up and celebrated the city’s first permanent parklet at East Nashville’s Wilburn Street Tavern following a community-driven design competition.

Now, the free-to-attend event is back on Saturday, Sept. 21 with a block party and the unveiling of a second permanent parklet outside Bagelshop in Donelson. Festivities begin at 11 a.m. with performances by four artists throughout the afternoon. Over 20 vendors will also be set up, like Ugly Duck Vintage, Yoga Muttz Movement Lounge, and Phat Bites.

Make note of these special times:
  • 11:30 a.m. | Donelson Library storytime
  • 12 p.m. | Golden Cone Awards (participants are awarded for design components)
  • 12:30 p.m. | Ribbon cutting
  • 2-5 p.m. | Homegrown hosts Homie Hour with $1 off pints
