Taco Tuesday in the city

When we were in college we used to go to a local dive bar for cheap tacos and expensive beer every Tuesday. We continue to ‘celebrate’ taco Tuesday at Nick’s Crispy Tacos – a legendary San Francisco taco spot. Weekly Linzy and Steeve walk over the hill and Matt and I make our way up the street to congregate at Nick’s for chips that are just greasy enough and salsa that is inevitably gone by the end of the night.

Nick’s is a funny place – usually there are piñatas mixed in with chandeliers hanging around the restaurant. Tonight the nemo and cowboy piñatas were replaced with hanging hearts and cupids.

The best part of Nick’s is on weekends the restaurant closes and Nick’s turns into Rouge – a shishi dance club and bar. The place is filled with red velvet booths and odd paintings of hardly dressed women.

Again, the perfect San Francisco dinner spot.

Tomorrow we’re off to India so I have a feeling taco Tuesdays will have to be put on hold for a few weeks. I may try to roll my curry in naan just to keep the routine alive…we’ll see.
