It’s a rare week when we can feature a lineup of specials that don’t require being carded. Enjoy our findings, eat plenty and share the love. By the way, did you know we have Viva Los Tacos this weekend? That only means one thing: Fresh Toast isn’t far behind.

If you happen to have a hankering, we discovered this link that’ll get you $3 off any brekkie burrito and fountain drink through January 31.
