Tax Day food and drink specials

tacday440.jpg

In honor of Tax Day (April 15), local and national businesses are offering customers deals on everything from beer to ice cream. Below are the ones I’ve been able to cobble together. If you know of any more (especially local businesses), send me an email or leave them in the comments section.

Izzoz Tacos: Get any one of Izzoz tortas (pulled pork, braised beef, tilapia, fried shrimp or fried portabella and avocado) for $4.15, a savings of $1 or even $2.

Hooters: Buy 10 chicken wings and get 10 free. To wash down those wings, all day you can get Big Daddy domestic beers (22 ounces) for only $2.99 and Big Daddy premium beers for $3.99.

Mangia Pizza (two locations): Reader Bryan is correct; the Mangia locations at Lake Austin Boulevard and The Domain are both offering 9 percent off (no tax, ostensibly), with your order when you mention the “Tax Free” special.

The Melting Pot: High five to reader Hollie, who was correct in her assertion that The Melting Pot (both locations) is offering half-priced wine tonight.

Z’Tejas: It seems reader Jenni is correct. According to this Tweetphoto, you get a Sixth Street Margarita for $4.15 on the 15th, if you say “Tax Revolt.” The special price is only good for your first margarita.

P.F. Chang’s: Get a 15-percent discount on all food and non-alcoholic beverage purchases. Does not apply to happy-hour specials.

Starbucks: Get a free brewed coffee with your reusable mug, up to 20 ounces.

Mr. Jim’s Pizza: Get a coupon for a free pizza when you friend Mr. Jim’s on Facebook. For those not familiar, Mr. Jim’s is located at 10401 Anderson Mill Rd #108A.

McCormick & Schmick’s: Invites guests to join them at the bar for $10.40 dinner and drink specials. While supplies last, visitors will also receive a $10.40 gift certificate for their next visit.

McDonald’s (select locations): Purchase an Egg McMuffin or Big Mac at and get a second sandwich for 1 cent. The Egg McMuffin promotion is offered from opening through 10:30 a.m.; the Big Mac deal is available from 10:30 a.m. to midnight.

The Library Bar: Until 11 p.m., get $1 domestic bottles and well drinks, $2 import bottles, $2.50 Jagermeister all night and $2.50 “U Call.” They will also be giving away free leis, Uncle Sam top hats, noisemakers, and more. Please be warned that you may hate freedom by the end of the night. [details]

Cinnabon: Two free cupcake bites from 6 to 8 p.m.

MaggieMoo’s: From 3 to 7 p.m., get a free sample of their new MaggieMia Ice Cream Pizza. Yeah, I know.

Jamba Juice: This isn’t exactly a Tax Day special, but to celebrate their 20th birthday, Jamba Juice is giving customers a free drink with a drink purchase. That special runs until April 25.

I also saw a tweet from Z’Tejas announcing margaritas for $4.15 tomorrow if you say “Tax Revolt!” to the server.

Just called all 5 of the Round Rock McDonald’s locations. One does not answer the phone and the other 4 are not participating. They did not even seem to know what I was talking about. Makes me wonder about the Statesman’s, and/or Austin360.com’s sources.

Commenting is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. M-F
