Taco Tuesday is described as a recurring event, not a recipe you have to unlock first. The detailed timing guide says it starts every Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. GMT and runs about 600 minutes. The in-game event board shows the countdown, which is the time to trust if it disagrees with a clock outside the game.
What the event pays
- Taco customers are reported paying 700 and up, with 731 cited, even when you have not built a taco recipe.
- Tips are about 10% of the meal if a tipping jar is on their path.
- Serving 100 taco orders during the event is the listed requirement for a taco trophy. Click the taco customer to see progress.
- A 7 to 10 second delivery is the pace that guide treats as fast enough to keep seats turning.
- Observed session totals in that write-up sit around 100k to 380k. That is a range from real sessions, not a promise.
Prep list
- Be online at the start. The window is long, but the first rush is the easy part of the 100-order trophy.
- Put tipping jars on the route customers already walk. Do not rebuild the dining room an hour before the event.
- Keep the kitchen on plates it can finish quickly. Birria tacos are named as a dish to stock if you already have them. They are not required for the customers to pay.
- Higher restaurant level is said to spawn more taco customers. If you are new, still join. The orders do not require a recipe.
Weather is a different bonus. Thunderstorms bring raincoat customers. One guide says they pay 50% more, another says 1.5x, which is the same multiplier. You do not trigger the storm. Leave the automated floor running if one starts. Both events are summarized under events.
