Taco Tuesday turned into Taco Saturday at the New Times’s annual Tacolandia Taco Festival, which took place on Nov. 13 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at River Landing Miami. 

Featuring over 20 of South Florida’s top restaurants, Tacolandia offered unlimited taco samplings to enjoy with friends and family. Some of the participating restaurants included: The Crazy Toston, Bartaco, Pin-Up Taco, La Tiendita, Taqueria Jacalito, Taqueria Mexicana, InRamen Asian Street Eatery, Eclectico Restaurant & Bar, La Traila Barbecue, El Guanaco, La Catrina, Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar, Even Keel Fish Shack, Mayami, La Diosa Taqueria, G.L.O.W., Chico Malo and Mexicantina. Each restaurant presents its best tacos to visitors.

A portion of the proceeds from Tacolandia goes to the de Moya Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to creating employment opportunities for young adults. 

Even though the event was dubbed Tacolandia, people also enjoyed a variety of drinks from the on-site cash bars. With a $60 VIP ticket, one could enjoy unlimited drinks and arrive an hour early. VIP tickets also provided visitors access to the VIP-only lounge. 

The general admission tickets cost $35 and came with free taco samples and entertainment. For those who went with friends, the “Fiesta With Your Friends Four-Pack” included four general admission tickets for $100 ($25 each) — a savings of $10 per ticket.
