THE BRIEF
We post maybe once a month. Can you write one week of Instagram posts, in English and Spanish, that sound like us? We're a family place, nothing fancy, and we're known for our weekend barbacoa.
Scenario: Owner of a family taquería in Houston
Package: A week of posts (7) · $18 · 2 hrs
Here's this week, in order 🌮
MONDAY: THE KITCHEN AT 5 A.M.
EN: Before you're awake, Tío Beto is already here. The barbacoa takes 12 hours, so the day starts early. Worth it? Come Saturday and tell us.
ES: Antes de que despiertes, Tío Beto ya está aquí. La barbacoa tarda 12 horas, así que el día empieza temprano. ¿Vale la pena? Ven el sábado y nos dices.

TUESDAY: TACO TUESDAY, BUT HONEST
EN: Every day is taco day here. But Tuesdays, our tacos de pastor are $1.75. Just saying.
ES: Aquí todos los días son de tacos. Pero los martes, los de pastor están a $1.75. Nomás decimos.
WEDNESDAY: MEET THE FAMILY
EN: This is Lupita. She runs the register, knows your order, and will ask about your mom. 💛
ES: Ella es Lupita. Está en la caja, se sabe tu orden y te va a preguntar por tu mamá. 💛
THURSDAY: SALSA QUESTION
EN: Red or green? Wrong answers only. (There are no wrong answers. Unless you said neither.)
ES: ¿Roja o verde? (No hay respuesta incorrecta. Bueno, solo si dijiste ninguna.)
FRIDAY: WEEKEND HEADS UP
EN: Barbacoa is Saturday and Sunday only, until it runs out. Last week it was gone by 11:30. Come early.

SATURDAY: IT'S READY

ES: Gracias por otro fin de semana lleno. Nos vemos la próxima. ¿La misma mesa?
NOTES
- Spanish is Mexican Spanish, casual, how you talk at the counter. Not textbook.
- Thursday is a comment post: answer the first 10 comments yourself.
