Taco Tuesday Time

It's Tuesday and that usually means one thing: Taco Tuesday!

So, where do you go for Taco Tuesday? Same place all the time or do you like to cross off different taco shops on your foodie list?

Personally for me, I've got go-to's if I want to just enjoy the weekly thing. But if I were to go out with friends or coworkers, I'd change it up a bit and probably find a new place to go to.

IF we were in San Diego, I wouldn't need a map or a list to tell you where to get the best tacos. But since I moved to the OC, this was a new territory. So what do I use as a foodie list? The OC Taco Tuesday Finder. It shows every eatery/restaurant in OC with their Taco Tuesday deals.

So I'm going to pass it on to anyone who wants to change up their Taco Tuesday routines from time to time.

I'd love to hear where you guys love to go for Taco Tuesdays though so please share with me. I always love discovering new eats!

Finals Week Fuel

It's that time of year again. Finals week has come upon us. I remember when I was in school I'd practically live on campus for the week of finals. I think at one point I brought a toothbrush and left it in my purse when I'd stay overnight and go home at 5 or 6 in the morning. Nevertheless, our campus wouldn't have much eateries open, the only real option was Denny's or a 24-hour Starbucks. But you can only handle so much of it. Except there were those times when food trucks like Kogi would drop by the campus.

I would only find out when Kogi would drop by via Twitter; then I found this website that helped me find even more food trucks around or see where my favorite food trucks were on real time. So this is my finals gift to all of you students studying for finals. We need to fuel up to have the perfect amount of energy for those finals.

Check out http://roaminghunger.com/OC for the food trucks that drop by late night for your finals schedule.

Good luck on finals and congratulations to the 2013 graduates!
