A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted and attended TACO MADNESS 2025 at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes on Saturday night! Your passion for tacos and true independent journalism made this event successful, not just for our taqueros (many of whom closed their shops to be there!) but also for our tiny newsroom. This event directly supports us and helps us keep going financially and morally.
We’re thrilled to announce the winners: Tacos Los Cholos and their mesquite-grilled ribeye took home the online tournament trophy, and A Tí’s duck carnitas taco with fig mole and crema on Kernel of Truth Organics tortilla was crowned "Best in Show," selected through a blind tasting by our esteemed judges!
Congrats to both for bringing their taco A-game. Here are our favorite moments from the night.
