Free Tacos During Framingham Restaurant's 'TacOctoberfest' Celebrations

FRAMINGHAM, MA — People across the world will be in a celebratory mood this month for Oktoberfest and Halloween.

At a local chain of Mexican restaurants, including one in Framingham, they'll be celebrating a little differently.

This October, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant is celebrating the taco as part of its “TacOctoberfest.” The celebration runs through the month and includes a deal for National Taco Day, which is this week.

On Tuesday from 3 to 5 p.m., Margaritas will offer free tacos to its “Circle of Friends” reward members. Those who show their "rewards" screen on the app can choose a free ground beef, chicken or carnitas taco with the purchase of any other food or beverage item.

And yes, you can sign up ahead of your visit, or even while you wait in the parking lot.
For those who don't want to sign up, the restaurant offers a "Taco Tuesday" special with all tacos priced at $4 all day.

Margaritas is also running a challenge for the month with its Taco Gigante Challenge and the new Flaming Gigante Challenge.

For the traditional challenge, diners can attempt to tackle a two-pound taco stuffed with four different meats, cheese, salsa fresca, refritos, lettuce and rice topped with queso, tomatillo and picante sauces.

Its devilish twin, the Flaming Gigante, is a spicy version of the original doused in Fuego sauce and topped with fresh jalapeños and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

Completing the challenge nets the winner a free weekly taco for a year and, of course, a t-shirt.
Taco Gigantes are available for $15 each throughout October.

Lastly, what's an Oktoberfest celebration without a little beer?

Margaritas is offering a special taco and cerveza pairing that includes a Sam Adams Octoberfest with a birria taco plate for $19.99.
