Offering curbside pickup and delivery, Aventura’s Bar Taco is offering one of the most unreal specials: For $35, dig into a 16-taco specialty pack stocked with salsa and chips, three sides and four large containers of proteins (chicken, steak, pork). The mega-meal is meant to feed a family of four—or, you know, you could technically nosh on it all week long.
