Celebrate the holidays at Babalu Tapas & Tacos

Yes, the words “holidays” and “tacos” do belong in the same sentence! First of all, tacos are always a good idea. And secondly, what says holiday cheer better than friends getting together and sharing food and drink?

The Baba-Breeze drink: Bombay Sapphire gin, fresh cucumber, ginger, mint, fresh lime juice, soda water

Babalu Tapas & Tacos puts a Latin flair on your holiday gathering to help you make it more memorable. Think chorizo tacos with house-made tortillas, simultaneously winter-and-beach-inspired drinks, and tableside guacamole.

In addition to tacos, Babalu's menu also boasts incredibly delicious small plates. You can't go wrong with any of the seafood options, and if your dish doesn't come served over roasted potatoes, do yourself a favor and order a side of them. They are perfectly crispy and gooey and the same time! 

The midtown eatery has a casual yet festive atmosphere and daily deals: 

Mondays -- $5 Luna Ritas all day
Tuesdays -- $2 tacos all day (because #tacotuesday)
Wednesdays -- half-priced bottles of wine and $5 glasses of house wine
Thursdays -- $4 sangria by the glass 
Daily, 3 – 6 pm -- specially priced menu of drinks and appetizers
