Loteria Grill: It’s kind of like a Cinco de Mayo celebration every Tuesday at Loteria Grill, which is putting its own spin on Taco Tuesday with “Taco About Tuesdays,” featuring tacos served family-style along with the $5 Margarita Feliz. It’s a “create-your-own taco” theme, with the taco specials placed in on the center of the table so everyone can make their own tacos. Each dish serves six to eight people. Executive chef/owner Jimmy Shaw says he developed this concept as "more than just an invitation to a typical version of a taco; it’s to 'echarse unos tacos' with friends, meaning to gather in a group setting and enjoy delicious tacos, drinks and conversation." Prices range from $11 to $14. 12050 Ventura Blvd., Studio City
