Yesterday, my friend, Jason, asked me for a good Taco Tuesdays place. I was on the road and didn't have time to help him out. Only places that came to mind are Tropics Bar and Grill (my old stomping grounds for delicious Taco Tuesdays), Compadres (another old stomping ground for TT, now CLOSED) and Dave and Buster's (but after researching, I don't think they have a TT). Since then, I decided to do some research. Here's what I found. This is for you, Jason!
Update: Read my Taco Tuesday review of Mai Tai Bar HERE!

Two Locations: Ward or Kahala (new)

Tropics Bar and Grill- This is my favorite Taco Tuesday. Location may be a bit hard to find, but it's in the same parking lot as Marukai Ward. You can park in that parking lot as well. Great place to chill and have an inexpensive drink and eats. Their tortilla soup recipe is a secret...and I know why it's a secret. It's the best I've ever tasted. You definitely need to have the $1 tortilla soup!
