Chicago Taco & Tequila Fest
Calling all taco and tequila enthusiasts! Chicago’s flavor fusion event is back, and we’ve expanded the celebration to two days. Immerse yourself in the north lawn of Lincoln Park and start your day with a complimentary margarita upon entry. Some like them sweet, while others enjoy them spicy. The second annual Chicago Taco & Tequila Fest will have them all!
Tacos from top Windy city eateries will be available for purchase including, carne asada, chorizo, barbacoa, carnitas, al pastor, veggie, street tacos & more. Complement your plate with side dishes such as elotes, tamales, guacamole, quesadillas, and desserts.
