Juicy Peanut Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Mascoutah

Taco Monday at Its Best

We visited for the much-talked-about $1.75 taco special, offered every Monday—and it did not disappoint. Each taco shell is freshly fried to order, which means a bit of a wait, but trust me: it's time well spent. The result?

The price can't be beat. The people I've met are friendly, the atmosphere is very dive bar , a very local home feeling.
