Moreover, the Kansas City Tacos and Tequila Festival is known for its various taco flavors. Some of the flavors you can expect at this festival include:

• Carne Asada Tacos: This taco is like a Mexican vacation for your taste buds, with juicy grilled steak and all the classic spices. Ole!
• Al Pastor Tacos: When it comes to tacos, Tacos Al Pastor are the Beyoncé of the taco world – thinly sliced, marinated, and always stealing the show. They are usually served with diced onions and pineapple. 
• Fish Tacos: These tacos are like a party in your mouth! The fish is flaky and delicious, wrapped in a crispy beer batter that will make your taste buds dance. And don’t forget the spicy salsa on top – it’s the perfect finishing touch to this fiesta of flavors.
• Veggie Tacos: For the vegetarians out there, fear not! The festival has got you covered with several veggie delights, including grilled veggies, beans, and cheese galore.
• Birria tacos: This Mexican dish slow-cooks beef or goat with spices until it’s so tender it practically melts in your mouth. The meat is then shredded and served in a taco with onion, cilantro, and lime. 

Wash Down Those Tacos with a Margarita

What’s a taco without a trusty beverage sidekick? Why settle for anything less than a zesty margarita to quench your thirst? Prepare to sip some handcrafted margaritas to make your taste buds do the cha-cha! 

Also, you can expect to find various margarita recipes, like the classic margarita made with tequila and lime juice. If you really want something with a kick, try the spicy margarita made with tequila, lime juice, agave nectar, and jalapeno pepper. 

These are just a few examples of Margarita recipes. At the Kansas City Tacos and Tequila Festival, you can expect to try some unique and creative Margarita recipes that showcase the talents of the participating bartenders and mixologists.

Lucha Libre Wrestling

Lucha Libre wrestling is like a thrilling soap opera on steroids. It’s a high-flying, high-energy style of wrestling that originated in Mexico and is now beloved worldwide. Picture this: muscular wrestlers dressed in colorful masks and spandex bodysuits, flipping and soaring through the air like acrobats, all while engaging in fierce battles of strength and skill. It’s a spectacle that combines athleticism, drama, and humor in equal parts, making it a must-see event for anyone who likes their tacos and tequila served with a side of adrenaline.

Chihuahua Beauty Pageant

If you’re a proud parent of a Chihuahua, you know you possess the most stunning pup in all the land. However, if you’re feeling extra adventurous and want to put your furry friend to the test in a public arena, fear not – we’ve got you covered. The Kansas City Tacos and Tequila Festival also features a Chihuahua Beauty Pageant. 

This pageant features some of the cutest dogs in Kansas City. The prettiest Chihuahuas will be picked beforehand on social media for the chance to take home the trophy. 

Exotic Car Showcase

We all know tacos and tequila are already a winning combination, but what about adding exotic cars to the mix? The Kansas City Tacos and Tequila Festival isn’t just about food and drink; it’s also a chance to drool over some of the most stunning and powerful vehicles on four wheels. 

This is not your average car show with minivans and sedans parked in a row. We’re talking Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and McLarens revving their engines and shining in the sun like they’re ready to take on the world. You might even feel slightly intimidated by these machines, but don’t worry; they won’t bite (at least, we hope not). So come for the tacos and tequila, and stay for the cars that could make any gearhead weak in the knees.

Salsa and Queso Competition

At the Kansas City Tacos and Tequila Festival, it’s not just about the tacos and tequila. We also have the ultimate face-off: the Salsa and Queso Competition. Things get heated here – and we’re not just talking about the jalapeños. Salsa and queso makers come to compete for the ultimate title of the best dip in town. Will it be a classic tomato-based salsa or something more daring like pineapple-jalapeño queso? You’ll have to taste and see for yourself!
