It's Back! Margaritas Mexican Restaurant Heralds Return of the Taco Gigante
The two-pound goliath is hand-crafted, made-to-order and presented in distinctive tongue-and-cheek Margaritas style. The Taco Gigante is made with a crispy 12-inch tortilla shell and comes stuffed with lettuce, refried beans, Mexican rice, seasoned chicken, taco beef, pork carnitas, bacon, salsa fresca, cheese and queso sauce. Topped with crema, pickled jalapenos, picante sauce and hacienda sauce, the $9.99 gargantuan is worthy of its title.
“We were so happy with the response to our National Taco Day promotion last year and wanted to make everything bigger and better this year by offering the Taco Gigante for an entire month,” said company President Hugo Marin. “We are excited to share such a fun variation to a traditional Mexican dish. The taco is a simple, yet unique dining experience in that it gives guests an opportunity to create a variety of different flavor combinations.”

In that spirit of fun, Margaritas will be partnering with Sam Adams for giveaways during its National Taco Day and Taco Gigante celebration on Oct. 4. Playing off the “gigante” theme, Margaritas will be handing out prizes and giveaways such as sunglasses, t-shirts, mustaches and more.
