I may be a little biased with this one... I was able to eat tacos... But I was really impressed with Touch.  Not only did we have a fancy room and a pretty kickass server (anyone remember her name???), but the tacos were pretty good, too!  Pretty good selection.  Their slogan of "F#@K Yo Dolla Tacos" sounds about right.   The tofu wasn't my favorite veggie taco to date, but I did really like the kimchie sauce.  From what I heard from the group, the pork and beef tacos were quite delish.

Map Room holds a special place in our hearts... And we've all spent many a' nights hanging out there.  We were happy to see they have a taco night!

They offer the option of chicken or beef and a hard or soft shell.  Each taco comes with lettuce cheese and taco sauce (in a packet...).  Sides, including salsa, sour cream, and fresh tomatoes, are an additional $0.35. 

It was not a favorite of the group.  Apparently the meat did not have much flavor and left a bit to be desired.  Worth $1.25 and a fun night at one of our favorite bars, though.

Please note, no veggie tacos. AGAIN.  Do bar owners hate vegetarians?  Rant post to follow.

Made somewhat famous by Tom Hanks mention on Letterman, "Patty's Famous Tacos" were obviously on our list of stops.  It was definitely packed.  No way our larger group was going to be able to sit together (bummer.)

You order tacos right at the kitchen window and let Patty know what you want.  Beef tacos only, but you have a choice of hot, medium, or mild sauce.  Tacos are loaded with sour cream, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes and delivered right to your table.  Don't forget to pay back at the kitchen, or catch Patty when she's walking back through.

No veggie option, and they only serve tacos on taco night.  I went to Chipotle.
