Taco Madness 2009 ~ Sabrocho!

sabrocho

We're down the final 8, the elite, the Sabrocho. Controversy has plagued the tournament so far, with a strong anti-Tito's contingent, as well as those who felt the seeding of Cactus Taqueria and Tacomiendo were too low. In any case, we move on to the next round with the following matchups. In this round, all polls are open at the same time, and voting is open until midnight on Friday of this week.
