Hola, tacos

By now, you may have heard that the Food Literacy Center is teaming up with the guy behind the immensely popular Sacramento Burger Battle to put on a taco festival on Tuesday, October 4. Don’t confuse it with the third annual Sacramento Taco Festival, though, which takes place Saturday, June 4. The family-friendly fun goes from noon to 6:30 p.m. on Del Paso Boulevard between El Camino Avenue and Arden Way. Apart from lots of taco vendors being present, there will also be a few competitions. See the crowning of a taco-eating champion, most unique sombrero wearer and even best-dressed chihuahua. For the taco makers, there’s an esteemed critic’s choice award. Tickets cost $10—children 10 and under get in for free—and include the general festivities, like live music and other entertainment, but not actual tacos. More www.sactacofest.com.
