Free Tacos & Jarritos with Respect the Taco

The company recently launched a national campaign dubbed “Respect the Taco” as a way to encourage diners to support the taco restaurants and small businesses that carry their product, a program that also serves to show hungry patrons just how well tacos and Jarritos pair up. This week, the Miami leg of the campaign is making its official debut, when Jarritos will pay the tab for Magic City locals during lunch with free tacos and a Jarritos soda at A-Mari-Mix Fresh Mex Fusion and dinner at La Diosa Taqueria. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at A-Mari-Mix Fresh Mex Fusion (9700 SW 24th St. 305-982-8214; amarimix.com) and 5 to 8 p.m. at La Diosa Taqueria (3458 SW Eighth St, Miami; 305-603-9134; ladiosataqueria.com) on Tuesday, March 22; the event is free to attend.
