The second annual Tacos and Tequila Festival will slam into San Antonio’s Retama’s Park this Saturday like a luchador with a score to settle.
The event features — you guessed it — tacos and tequila along with mucho, mucho mas.
Calling itself the “ultimate throwback experience,” the festival’s music roster is a rundown of some of the biggest names in ’90s and ’00s hip-hop, including Lil Jon, Ginuwine, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Xzibit, Trick Daddy, Yung Joc, Mike “Still Tippin” Jones and more.
In an email, festival organizers urged fans to “leave the kids at home, rally your crew, and turn up the nostalgia.”
If the tacos and tequila weren’t Puro San Anto enough, the event also features a classic car show, lucha libre wrestling, salsa and queso competition and even a chihuahua beauty pageant. Here’s hoping the winner gets a “thuggish ruggish bone.”
Despite the event’s name, its culinary selection isn’t just limited to tacos. Food truck vendors will include Double A Barbecue, Rivas Tacos, Playa Bowls, The Booth Life, Powder Me Up Funnel Cakes, Chicken Buzz, Kain Na – Filipino Cuisine, Bombers SA, La Bandida Street Food, 3B BBQ and Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken.
The 21-and-up event will also offer a tequila tasting lounge and margarita bars.
Tickets run $69 each for general admission or two for $99, and they’re available online. VIP packages are also available.
$69-$159, 2:30 p.m., Saturday, May 10, 1 Retama Parkway, (210) 651-7000, tacosandtequilafestival.com
