Last year, Top Taco quickly earned its chops as the “can’t-miss” tasting and competition party of the summer. This culinary throw-down takes place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday at Denver Sculpture Park (15th and Arapahoe) with more than 40 restaurants (double last year’s participants) – including Comida, Zengo, Margs, Pinche Tacos and Machete – competing mano a mano for the coveted Top Taco title in the Creative Taco, Traditional Taco and Margarita categories.
Voting via Smartphone for People’s Choice Taco and Best Margarita Awards.
Guests will enjoy samples of all the tacos and margaritas, along with tequila samples from more than 40 brands, beer, wine and more. Beer provided in the Modelo Especial Tent; wine served in the Edna Valley Vineyard’s Tent. Then, dance during the fiesta to the live rhythm and beat of La Candela, Denver’s hottest salsa band. This is a 21-plus event rain or shine.
Proceeds benefit Colorado Restaurant Association Education Foundation ProStart scholarship program.
