If you’ve been grinding Steal a Brainrot, you know that timing is everything when it comes to Taco Tuesday. Missing this weekly admin abuse event means losing out on triple spawn rates for Taco trait Brainrots, exclusive rewards like Quesadilla Crocodila, and the chance to feed Fat Sammy for rare Secret units. After months of participating in every single Taco Tuesday event and tracking spawn patterns, I’m sharing everything you need to dominate this chaotic weekly phenomenon.
The difference between showing up prepared and arriving late can mean the gap between earning millions in boosted income or watching other players snatch up every Taco Brainrot before you even spot one. In this complete guide, I’ll cover the exact timing for every time zone, what actually happens during the event, and my proven strategies for maximizing your haul every Tuesday.

Taco Tuesday in Steal a Brainrot happens every single Tuesday at 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. This weekly admin abuse event is hosted by Sammy, the game developer, who triggers multiple special events and spawns exclusive Brainrots across all servers including private ones.
The event typically runs for 30 to 45 minutes, though Sammy has occasionally extended it based on community response and his own taco-eating schedule. Yes, you read that right, the event duration literally depends on how long it takes the developer to finish his tacos.

Yes, the timing has evolved since the event first launched. The very first Taco Tuesday happened on August 19, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST. After community feedback and scheduling adjustments, Sammy moved the event to its current time of 6:00 PM EST, where it has remained stable for several weeks.
In the official Steal a Brainrot Discord server, Sammy mentioned that 6:00 PM EST is the intended permanent timing going forward, giving players worldwide better accessibility to join the festivities.
The moment Taco Tuesday kicks off, you’ll immediately know it has started because the iconic “Raining Tacos” song begins blasting across every server. This isn’t just background music, it’s your audio cue that the chaos has officially begun.
A massive taco cannon spawns above the conveyor belt entrance and starts firing tacos at Brainrots walking along the belt. When a Brainrot gets hit by a taco, it instantly receives the Taco Trait, marked by a floating taco icon above its head and sometimes a taco hat on the character itself.
The Taco Trait provides a 3x income multiplier, which means these Brainrots generate three times more cash per second than their non-Taco counterparts. For serious farmers, this is absolutely game-changing for base income.
During Taco Tuesday, a special NPC called Fat Sammy spawns next to the Robux Shop. This is where the event gets really interesting. You can collect Brainrots with the Taco Trait and feed them to Fat Sammy in exchange for exclusive rewards.
Here’s how it works: bring 15 Brainrots with the Taco Trait to the Collect Zone in front of Fat Sammy. Once you deposit them, one of three exclusive Brainrots will spawn on the Red Carpet:
These units are only obtainable through Fat Sammy and cannot be found anywhere else in the game, making Taco Tuesday essential for collectors.
Sammy doesn’t stop at just Raining Tacos. Throughout the event, he triggers multiple other admin events that apply different traits and mutations to Brainrots on the conveyor belt:
These events can stack with the Taco Trait, meaning you could potentially grab a Brainrot with both Taco (3x) and Nyan Cat (6x) traits on the same unit. Since traits stack additively, that’s a combined 9x income multiplier on a single character.
During Taco Tuesday, special Taco Lucky Blocks become available for purchase at 50 million cash each. These exclusive lucky blocks contain rare units that don’t appear in standard lucky blocks:
If you’ve been saving up cash, Taco Tuesday is the perfect time to spend it on these limited-time lucky blocks.
One unique aspect of Taco Tuesday is that Sammy actively communicates with players through global server messages. He reads chat messages, responds to the community, and sometimes spawns special Brainrots based on player requests or just for fun.
On September 9, 2025, Sammy accidentally spawned La Karkerkar Combinasion across all servers, leading to widespread chaos. He later acknowledged the mistake and adjusted the craft recipe, making it require only two Karkerkar Kurkurs instead of the original difficult requirements.
If you’re serious about maximizing your income in Steal a Brainrot, missing Taco Tuesday is essentially leaving millions of potential earnings on the table. Here’s why this event matters so much.
To craft Los Tacoritas, one of the most valuable Brainrots in the game, you need Tacorita Bicicleta as a base ingredient. The problem is that Tacorita Bicicleta can only be obtained by feeding Taco Brainrots to Fat Sammy, and Fat Sammy only appears during Taco Tuesday events.
To even spawn Tacorita Bicicleta from Fat Sammy, you need to collect these three specific Brainrots:
Two of these three required Brainrots are exclusively available during Taco Tuesday, making it impossible to progress through this crafting chain without participating in the event.
Outside of Taco Tuesday, finding Brainrots with the Taco Trait on the normal conveyor belt is extremely rare. The spawn rate is so low that you might play for hours without seeing a single Taco Brainrot naturally.
During Taco Tuesday, the spawn rate increases by 3x, meaning Taco-traited Brainrots appear far more frequently on the belt. This is your only realistic opportunity to stock up on Taco Brainrots for later use.
The 3x income multiplier from the Taco Trait might not sound massive on its own, but when you stack it with other traits from simultaneous events, the numbers get ridiculous.
During a typical Taco Tuesday, you might encounter:
A single Brainrot with a 9x multiplier can completely transform your base’s income generation, especially if it’s already a high-tier rarity like Mythical or Brainrot God.
Admin abuse events like Taco Tuesday significantly increase the spawn rates for Secret and Brainrot God rarity units on the conveyor belt. This means you have a much better chance of seeing rare units appear, and when they do, they might already have valuable traits applied.
I’ve personally witnessed multiple Secret-rarity spawns during a single Taco Tuesday event, something that almost never happens during regular gameplay.
Preparation makes all the difference between a successful Taco Tuesday and a frustrating experience where you miss most of the good spawns. Here’s my battle-tested preparation routine.
Don’t wait until the event starts to log in. The servers get absolutely flooded with players right at 6:00 PM EST, and you might experience lag, connection issues, or struggle to find a spot near the conveyor belt.
I always log in at least an hour early to secure my position and avoid any technical difficulties. Plus, Sammy sometimes drops “early bird” gifts for players already online before the event officially begins.
This is non-negotiable. You need as many empty slots as possible to collect Taco Brainrots during the event. There’s nothing more frustrating than finding a perfect high-tier Brainrot with multiple stacked traits and realizing your base is completely full.
Before Taco Tuesday:
I aim for at least 20-30 empty slots before every Taco Tuesday event.
Brainrots on the conveyor belt aren’t free, you need to purchase them with cash. During Taco Tuesday, competition is fierce, and you’ll want to buy Brainrots quickly without worrying about your budget.
The Taco Lucky Blocks cost 50 million each, and you might want to buy several if you’re hunting for Quesadilla Crocodila. High-tier Brainrots with multiple traits can cost anywhere from 10 million to 100 million+ depending on their rarity and applied effects.
My rule is to have at least 300 million cash saved up before Taco Tuesday begins. This gives me flexibility to purchase whatever opportunities arise without hesitation.
The official Steal a Brainrot Discord server is your best source for last-minute announcements. Sammy occasionally posts updates in the bombardiro-news channel about:
Set up Discord notifications for the bombardiro-news channel so you never miss important updates.
Where you stand during Taco Tuesday matters more than most players realize. The optimal position is in the center of the conveyor belt area, slightly closer to the spawn point than the end.
This positioning lets you:
I mark my spot by standing near the Fuse Machine, which gives me perfect sightlines of the entire belt.
Other players will try to steal your Brainrots, especially the rare ones with multiple traits. If you have slap gloves, defense items, or any PvP tools available in the game, equip them before the event starts.
Being able to defend your Brainrots or retaliate against aggressive players can mean the difference between keeping a valuable Secret unit or losing it to a competitor.
Here’s an advanced technique many top players use: create an alternate Roblox account specifically for storing Taco Brainrots.
During the event, use your alt account to collect and store Taco-traited Brainrots in a separate base. When Fat Sammy appears, you can feed these stored Brainrots from your alt account, keeping your main account’s base free for even more Taco Brainrot collection.
This effectively doubles your storage capacity for the event.
Once the “Raining Tacos” song starts playing and the event is officially underway, you need to execute with precision. Here’s my real-time gameplay strategy.
Speed is everything. The moment a Brainrot gets hit with a taco, it displays a floating taco icon above its head. Train your eyes to spot this icon immediately as Brainrots move along the conveyor belt.
Don’t waste time examining every single Brainrot in detail. If you see the taco icon, that’s your signal to click and check the purchase price. Hesitation costs you opportunities because other players are doing the exact same thing.
Not all Taco Brainrots are created equal. If you see a Brainrot with both a Taco icon AND another trait icon (like Nyan Cat, Glitch, or Crab Rave), that’s your top priority target.
These multi-trait Brainrots are extremely rare and offer combined multipliers that can exceed 8x or even 9x income. Even if they’re expensive, they’re almost always worth the investment.
During admin abuse, Secret and Brainrot God rarity units spawn far more frequently than normal. If you spot a high-rarity spawn with a Taco trait, buy it immediately regardless of cost.
These units already have high base income values, and when combined with the 3x Taco multiplier plus any additional event traits, they become absolute powerhouses for your base.
You need exactly 15 Taco Brainrots to feed Fat Sammy for a reward. Keep a mental count or use a physical notepad to track how many Taco Brainrots you’ve collected.
Once you hit 15, head to Fat Sammy near the Robux Shop and deposit them immediately. Don’t wait until the end of the event because you might not have time, and Fat Sammy disappears once Taco Tuesday concludes.
After feeding Fat Sammy, immediately return to the conveyor belt to continue collecting more Taco Brainrots for additional exchanges.
Remember, Sammy triggers multiple admin events during Taco Tuesday, not just Raining Tacos. Keep an eye out for visual cues of other events:
When you see these events activate, shift your focus to grabbing Brainrots affected by the higher-multiplier traits first, then go back to collecting regular Taco Brainrots.
If you have access to a private server or can join one through Discord connections, this dramatically reduces competition. In a private server with just your friends or guild members, you can:
The downside is that admin events happen in all servers simultaneously, so private servers don’t give you any advantage in terms of spawn rates or event frequency, just less player competition.
After watching hundreds of players fumble Taco Tuesday events, I’ve identified the most costly mistakes people make. Avoid these and you’ll be miles ahead of the competition.
Showing up even 5-10 minutes late means you’ve already missed a significant chunk of Taco Brainrot spawns. The event only lasts 30-45 minutes total, so every minute counts.
Set multiple alarms or calendar reminders for at least 30 minutes before the event starts to give yourself buffer time.
Just because a Brainrot has a Taco trait doesn’t mean it’s worth buying. If it’s a Common or Uncommon rarity without any additional traits, you might want to pass unless you specifically need 15 Taco Brainrots for Fat Sammy.
Focus on quality over quantity: rare/high-tier Brainrots with Taco traits, or Brainrots with multiple stacked traits are your real targets.
Getting caught up in the excitement and spending all your cash in the first 10 minutes is a classic mistake. You need to pace your spending throughout the entire 30-45 minute event.
Check your balance periodically and ask yourself: “If an amazing spawn appears in 20 minutes, do I have enough cash to buy it?” If the answer is no, you’re spending too aggressively.
Many players get so focused on the conveyor belt that they completely forget about Taco Lucky Blocks. These limited-time blocks contain exclusive Secrets that can’t be obtained any other way.
If you have 50+ million cash to spare, grab at least one or two Taco Lucky Blocks during the event.
Some players collect Taco Brainrots throughout the entire event but never actually feed them to Fat Sammy. Then when the event ends, Fat Sammy disappears, and they miss their chance at exclusive rewards like Tipi Topi Taco or Nooo My Hotspot.
Make feeding Fat Sammy a priority. As soon as you have 15 Taco Brainrots, take the 2-minute break from the conveyor belt to deposit them and get your reward.
If you’re experiencing lag, delay, or high ping during Taco Tuesday, you’re at a massive disadvantage. Other players with better connections will consistently beat you to valuable spawns.
Consider switching to a different server with lower player counts or finding a private server where connection quality is more stable.
The event might be over, but your work isn’t done. Here’s how to maximize the value of what you collected.
Immediately after Taco Tuesday ends, sort through your new Brainrots and organize them by:
This helps you quickly identify your best Brainrots for base placement and which ones you might use for future Fat Sammy exchanges.
Place your new high-multiplier Brainrots strategically in your base and check your updated income per second. Seeing that number jump from $5 million/second to $15 million/second is incredibly satisfying and shows you the tangible benefit of participating in Taco Tuesday.
If you collected more than 15 Taco Brainrots during the event, consider saving exactly 15 for the next Taco Tuesday. This way, you can immediately feed Fat Sammy at the start of the next event and then focus entirely on collecting new Brainrots rather than worrying about gathering your first exchange batch.
If you ended up with duplicate exclusive Brainrots like Bombardini Tortinii or Tipi Topi Taco, you can potentially trade them in the official Discord server’s trattini-trades channel.
While there’s no in-game trading system, the community has established Discord-based trading through trust systems. Just be cautious and aware that the developers aren’t responsible for scams, so trade at your own risk with reputable community members.
Take notes on your Taco Tuesday experience:
Taco Tuesday happens every single week, so you have plenty of opportunities to refine your strategy and improve your results over time.
It’s worth noting that Taco Tuesday isn’t the only admin abuse event in Steal a Brainrot. Every Saturday at 3:00 PM BST (10:00 AM EST / 7:00 AM PST), Sammy and his development team run another admin abuse session, typically coinciding with weekly game updates.
Saturday admin abuse events:
Saturday events are great for farming other traits and high-rarity spawns, but they don’t offer the Taco-exclusive rewards that make Taco Tuesday so valuable for progression.
If you can only attend one event per week, prioritize Taco Tuesday for the exclusive content. If you can attend both, you’ll maximize your overall Brainrot collection and income generation potential.
The next Taco Tuesday occurs every Tuesday at 6:00 PM EST (3:00 PM PST, 11:00 PM BST, 12:00 AM CET). The event happens weekly on the same day and time unless the developer announces a schedule change in the official Discord server.
Taco Tuesday typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, though the exact duration varies depending on how long developer Sammy takes to finish his tacos. The event has occasionally been extended based on community engagement and special circumstances.
Yes, Taco Tuesday admin abuse happens simultaneously in all servers, including private servers. You’ll experience the exact same events, spawn rates, traits, and rewards whether you play in a public or private server. Private servers simply offer less competition from other players.
The Taco Trait provides a 3x income multiplier, meaning Brainrots with this trait generate three times more cash per second compared to their base rate. This multiplier stacks additively with other trait multipliers from simultaneous admin events.
Collect 15 Brainrots with the Taco Trait during Taco Tuesday and bring them to the Collect Zone in front of Fat Sammy, who spawns near the Robux Shop. After depositing all 15 Taco Brainrots, one of three exclusive rewards will spawn on the Red Carpet: Tipi Topi Taco, Nooo My Hotspot, or Bombardini Tortinii.
Taco Lucky Blocks are special lucky blocks that only appear during Taco Tuesday events. They cost 50 million cash each and contain exclusive rare units like Quesadilla Crocodila and Los Nooo My Hotspotsitos that cannot be obtained from regular lucky blocks. If you’re hunting for these specific Secret-rarity Brainrots, they’re absolutely worth the investment.
Technically yes, Taco-traited Brainrots can spawn on the conveyor belt during normal gameplay, but the spawn rate is extremely low. You might play for hours or even days without seeing a single Taco Brainrot naturally. Taco Tuesday’s 3x spawn rate increase makes it by far the most efficient time to collect them.
Taco Tuesday begins at 3:30 AM IST on Wednesday morning due to the time zone difference. While this is an inconvenient time for Indian players, many dedicated farmers set alarms to participate since the event only lasts 30-45 minutes.
No, Taco Tuesday is completely free to participate in. You don’t need to spend any Robux to join the event or benefit from the increased spawn rates and special events. However, you do need in-game cash to purchase Brainrots from the conveyor belt and Taco Lucky Blocks.
The most efficient strategy is to collect Taco Brainrots in batches of 15 throughout the event. As soon as you reach 15, immediately go to Fat Sammy, deposit them, collect your reward, and return to the conveyor belt to start collecting another batch. Some experienced players use alternate accounts to store additional Taco Brainrots for multiple exchanges.
Taco Tuesday is hands down the most important weekly event in Steal a Brainrot for serious players. The combination of triple Taco Trait spawn rates, exclusive rewards from Fat Sammy, limited-time Taco Lucky Blocks, and stacked trait opportunities from multiple admin events makes this 30-45 minute window absolutely critical for progression.
Mark every Tuesday at 6:00 PM EST on your calendar, prepare your base storage and cash reserves in advance, and execute with the strategies I’ve shared in this guide. The difference in your income generation and Brainrot collection quality will be dramatic.
Remember to join the official Steal a Brainrot Discord server for real-time event notifications and community coordination. Sammy occasionally posts special announcements or adjusts timing, and you don’t want to miss those updates.
Every Taco Tuesday is a fresh opportunity to massively boost your progress. Don’t waste it. Prepare properly, execute smartly, and watch your base value skyrocket week after week.
