Overview:
One of the world’s greatest food and beverage pairings takes the spotlight at the Chicago Taco & Tequila Festival.
Three elements combine to put the Chicago Taco & Tequila Festival on the unofficial list of favorite food events in the Midwest: the gorgeous venue, the wide selection of high quality tacos from favorite Chicago chefs… and the perfect companion to all of this: tequila!
The event takes place in Chicago’s gorgeous Lincoln Park. At least twelve of Chicago’s favorite taco chefs participate, each offering their signature tacos. This opens up the menu playing field to include everything from traditional to more imaginative riffs on this beloved finger food.
Small batch tequila tastings are offered for an extra $15 ticket*. But the tastings aren’t all. Tequila is consumed in many forms including the popular Margarita and Paloma cocktails. Mixologists demonstrate the latest, hottest tequila cocktails from the event’s Mixology Stage.
