Happy Hour at Ho’Brah Taco Joint
Ho’Brah is the Forest Avenue flagship of a Staten Island taco favorite, dealing in Southern-California, Baja-style tacos – fish, birria, pork, chicken – plus burritos, quesadillas and a serious cocktail program. The margaritas are the calling card: fresh-squeezed lime, fruit-puree infusions like the Pineapple Express, and frozen mini margaritas in flavors from mango to blueberry, all built on house-made sour mix.
It’s a casual, bar-forward, group-friendly room with an outdoor ‘yard’ that fills up in warm weather, plus event nights – karaoke on Thursdays, DJs on Friday and Saturday, and bottomless brunch. That easygoing vibe is exactly the setting for a round of margaritas and a plate of tacos.
The Happy Hour
Ho’Brah does run a happy hour – it’s listed among the location’s amenities and shows up in its posts, often out in the back yard. The honest catch is that the exact days, times and prices aren’t published anywhere reliable, so treat it as available-but-unconfirmed and call (718) 442-8226 to confirm the current window. Separately, the spot is well known for Taco Tuesday and its frozen mini margaritas.
