Friday morning, we opened our doors for the first World Cup game which started at 7 am. It was amazing to see the restaurant packed to standing room only, windows wide open, people even sitting outside and peering in.
Telmo was working his butt off, serving up the scrambled egg and bacon tacos and an amazing birria. Juanito was cooking in his Mexico jersey. The tequila shots were flowing long before 8 am. The first margarita orders came in at 8:15. But my favorite morning bender drink has to be a cafe corregido, otherwise known as Mexican Coffee. Not only is it dangerously delicious, but it turns out to be a great way to start a work day.
Do try this at home:
To a glass, add equal parts cold espresso, tequila and Kahlua. Top with foamed milk.
Tacolicious will be open for every US or Mexico game for the remaining World Cup. Our opening hours are:
Friday 6/18 6:30 am USA v. Slovenia
Tuesday 6/22 6:30 am Mexico v. Uruguay
Wednesday 6/23 6:30 am USA v. Algeria
