This year’s festival is encouraging folks to taste, smell, see, hear, and touch. What this means is that there will be tacos in the event’s “Taco Row,” an assortment of food trucks, lots of tequila, margaritas with even more tequila, beer, live music, a lowrider show, and lucha libre wrestling.

You can even take a spin on a mechanical taco. You know, it’s like a mechanical bull… only it’s a taco.
