Why have a regular old Tuesday when you can have a Taco Tuesday? Head down to Calle Tacos on Hollywood Boulevard for some of the finest tacos in LA.

Calle Tacos also features an actual taco truck parked within an open garage adorned with wall murals of historic pop culture icons. You'll be hard pressed to find a better mix of flash and substance than this LA eatery. 99 cent tacos are available from 11:00 a.m. to midnight but the store doesn't close up shop until 2:00 a.m.

Summer is almost over but that doesn't mean it's too late to cool down with a nice chocolate milkshake. This Friday is National Chocolate Milkshake Day, so take a trip over to Ruby's Shake Shack on E. Coast Highway in Newport Coast for some sun, sand and shakes. Ruby's offers chocolatey options like the classic Hershey's chocolate shake and the deluxe double dark chocolate chip. The chocolate turtle shake is also strongly recommended, served in a tall glass oozing with caramel and chocolate sauce plus a metal tumbler inside equipped with even more milkshake! Ruby's has been a staple in Cali for over 30 years and still delivers the same quality handmade shakes they started serving back in 1980. Ruby's is open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Preferred VIP parking is available right by the entrance or you can park for free if you don't mind a short walk.
