Virtual Happy Hour: Cheap Beer, Tacos, And Free Michelada Pops at Diablo Taco

Diablo Taco seems to think that one happy hour per day just simply isn't enough, and we have to agree. The Silverlake taco joint launched their new duo of discounts today. The first round of happy hour runs Tuesday thru Friday 4 p.m.-6 p.m., and the second goes and 9 p.m.-11 p.m. And to make the deal even sweeter, they'll be offering free michelada pops with each beer during L.A. Beer Week, which will be celebrated at various establishments throughout L.A. thru September 30. (Guests can pick from either blood orange, tomato, or yuzu flavored ice treats.)

Admittedly we were a bit hyper-critical of this taco shop's opening, but when we popped our heads in we found a cool little neighborhood joint that's got a great selection of craft beers and an ultra-hip industrial feel. And what's not to love about $1 Pabst Blue Ribbon, $2 Olympia cans, and $3 glasses of sangria paired with a couple of tacos on a Friday afternoon? Maybe we've just had a long week, but we can' think of a darn thing.
