We don't like to brag (that's a lie, we love to), but Tacolandia is one of the best food events in Dallas. Local restaurateurs gather on a cool November afternoon to put their best taco foot forward. Once you're in, all the taco bites are free and the portion sizes are just right, allowing you to casually nosh for hours. And since it's sort of a competition — the people's choice award is real — the bites on offer are always superior.
Plus, several bars set up around the event offer ample beer, margaritas, Topo Chicos and whatever else you may require.
This Saturday, Nov. 4, we'll be back at Energy Square Plaza on Greenville Avenue for another round.
General admission tickets are $40 and include entry at 4 p.m. and unlimited taco bites (it's a lot of food). VIP Admission tickets are $75 and get you a jump on the lines with entry at 3 p.m. plus three drink tickets at the VIP bar and access to the VIP restrooms. Tickets cost more at the gate, so get them now.
However, as a tasty salute to our hometown world champion Texas Rangers, you can save $10 over ticket by using the code: RANGERS or GOANDTAKEIT.
For a visual taste of what's in store, here's a look at last year's winners.

In addition to the stellar tacos and drinks, look for a game zone, dancers, a mariachi band, some swag and plenty of seating.
