CLEVELAND, Ohio - Tacos were 29 cents when Raymond Brown opened the doors at Cap'N Taco on Brookpark Road on April 19, 1976.

Today, they're $1.19. Except for Tuesdays, when the price drops to 79 cents and lines often stretch out the door. It's still a pretty good deal.

On Tuesday, April 19, 2016, the deal will be even better. In honor of this Cleveland landmarks 40th anniversary, all traditional hard-shell beef tacos will be just 40 cents.

"We though it would be a fun way to mark the anniversary, and it's perfect that it happens to fall on a Taco Tuesday," says owner Kathy Dadisman, who bought the old school taqueria from Brown in 2001. "We want to celebrate with all of our customers, because they have really become like family over the years. We have people come in with their kids and even their grandkids now, they've been coming here for generations."

Tacos, the enormous Conquistador beef burrito, Mexican pizzas and even the Cap'N Dog topped with taco meat and chili cheese - for "kids not quite ready for Mexican" - are all reasons fans keep coming back. But it 's more than the food and deals that have kept Cap'N Taco in business for 40 years: it's also the retro cool airplane themed decor - the idea of Brown, who was a flight instructor. And it's the laid-back vibe where area hotel residents and NASA workers and young families and seniors and teens can meet and mingle over a taco, or maybe a margarita or even Cap'N Taco brew.

Though once a chain with locations in Strongsville and North Olmsted, today the Brookpark Road Cap'N Taco is the only one left. But thanks to Dadasimon who has only tweaked the menu and prices a tiny bit since 1976, it's still going strong.

"The food is excellent, and so is the quality and quantity," says Cleveland resident Billie Jo in the Cap'N's dining room on a recent Friday afternoon. "I've been coming for 30 years and plan to for 30 more. And I'll definitely be here Tuesday for 40 cent tacos."

Cap'N Taco is 16099 Brookpark Road, Cleveland. Call 216-676-9830. No advance orders will be accepted Tuesday. Tacos will be available walk-in or at the drive-thru window.
