Maybe watch a favorite Christmas movie or listen to some Christmas music, and just enjoy Christmas in July!

Paco is pulling an Uno Reverse on everyone this time around. Instead of a free alcoholic beverage, if you buy any drink using tequila… you get a free taco! Some options include the classic margarita, a paloma, ranch water, Mexican mule, Oaxaca old fashioned… or the standard tequila shot! Of course, you must be of age and show your ID to drink, but if you're looking to balance your tequila with good eats, now's your time.

WHAT: Tequila Day.

WHEN: July 24, 2026.

WHERE: Paco's Tacos, suburbs.

May we recommend some mint chocolate chip? Or maybe cherry vanilla? Enjoy!

After French fry day comes… hot dog day! And while it's always fun to grill your own hot dog at home, if you don't want to do the work, let someone else do it for you by coming out to the Hut and getting half off of all hot dogs! You can get them plain, with condiments of y choice, or have your choice of specials, like a kraut dog or chili dog -- or both! Invite some friends, take the kids, just enjoy hot dogs.

WHAT: Hot Dog Day.

WHEN: July 15, 2026.
