Just when you think you’ve ingested enough tacos in your life to have a pretty good grasp on all the goodness that can be contained in one tortilla, you realize this is an aspect of your life – like tax fraud – you’ll never fully conquer. 

Tacolandia this past weekend was proof of that. If you made it, then we’re glad we were able to share some tacos. If you missed it, no worries. We actually have a pretty snazzy recap with pictures, and you can now try each of these without standing in line while balancing a margarita on a paper boat at the same time. Not to knock the experience; getting all those tacos in one spot was worth testing our balancing skills.

The official judges at Tacolandia picked the first five winners listed below: most interesting, best traditional, best beef, best pork and best overall. Then Tacolandia attendees picked the People’s Choice by dropping a token in a bucket.
