We had a great time at this event and there is some great food. You can spend as little or as much money as you want - admission is free. A family and pet friendly event, it is equally welcoming to the physically challenged, I noted.
We had an awesome plate of food consisting of two tamales of our choice, damn good refried beans, and rice for $7, which benefited a church. It was so good, we purchased a dozen for $18, which is the set take-home price for all vendors here ($10 for a half dozen).
An ample amount of security staff was a reassuring presence here. A large stage featured talented Latino groups and mariachi bands. The hit was one featuring a young boy, child prodigy, on an acordian with his family.
They serve alcohol, which requires a free wristband received after presentation of an ID staing that you are over 21 (required for any age).
This is a great event. Period.
My husband and I have this on next year's calendar for sure.
