| - This was a fun event, but not a great value. My husband and I were gifted free tickets to this event, and attended on Sunday, parking was easy and free. The lines were not too long to get ID'ed and to purchase tokens. Tokens cost $2 per token and it was 2 tokens for 1 taco and 3 tokens for alcohol (margarita/wine/beer).
Some tacos were better than others. My favorite was the goat taco from Gertrudes and the carne asada taco from the Four Seasons. The tacos varied in size, from a mid-sized tortilla to a mini tortilla, as well as various fillings where some places were more generous than others. It seems that the stand that had the largest tacos won the contest, we didn't try those though.
Los Primos Carniceria were serving authentic street tacos which were fantastic, but they handed us flyers advertising for their business which offers $1 tacos, we were paying $2 for the tacos there, so we felt a little ripped off.
All together we spent $40 for 3 margaritas, 1 beer, and 8 small tacos, plus if we were to purchase two tickets at $24, it totals out to be $64, not worth the price in my opinion. On a positive note, this one of the few opportunities to try so many different types of tacos in one place, and we discovered some new restaurants.
