BelAir Cantina, known for $2 Taco Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and for Chef Noe’s passion for keeping it fresh, simple and tasty, not only continues to expand, with its fourth location opening soon in Oak Creek, but also contributes to the community in a significant way. The restaurant group recently named Playworks Wisconsin as its next Powered by Tacos nonprofit. Proceeds from the sales of a special taco during the months of October through March of at least $25,000 will be awarded to Playworks to support the expansion of our new TeamUp program, impacting more than 2,000 elementary school children.
