Spooky Taco Tuesdays
White Star Market 4624 Government Street , Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70806
The phenomenon that is Taco Tuesday—when something is so delicious, you don't need more than an alliteration to gorge yourself—takes on an eerie second life this month as Jay Ducote's Gov't Taco, inside White Star Market, gets into the cobwebbed spirit with deadly delicious tacos. (The puns are killer too.) Each Tuesday, find a special that spotlights everything from slasher films to swamp monsters. Only on Tuesdays—the rest of the week, the taco stand returns to a respectable, un-zombielike existence. 11 am–9 pm. Find the schedule below and follow along on Instagram at @govttaco.
