Last year’s inaugural El Fuerte, the Fort Worth Taco Festival, sold out in record time, as 1,500 taco-crazed locals gorged great food, beer and margaritas during the daylong celebration. This year’s celebration of Cinco De Mayo at The Shack at Panther Island Pavilion promises to be even bigger and better. Apparently people in El Fuerte (the Fort) take their tacos seriously. This year we’ve increased the number of tickets available to try accommodate all the taco lovers out there. The next iteration of the Taco Fest will once again feature grub from dozens of area restaurants and food trucks in a celebrity-judged competition. This year we’ve added a public Best Overall Taco category. We’ll also have a cooking

demonstration presented by Bluezones, a performance by Ballet Folklorico, an El Grito contest, a Kids Zone sponsored by Rosa’s Café, vendors, mariachis from Poly High and Northside High schools, VIP specials, and enough beer and margaritas to fill the Rio Grande. The goal of the Fort Worth Taco Festival is to bring people of different backgrounds and ethnicities closer together by promoting, celebrating, and honoring the cross-section of our cultures. The taco is more than just a tasty treat –– it’s a way to remind us of the many things we have in common. Tickets are still available @ www.ticketfly.com and available (while supplies last) at the door until 2pm.
