Top Taco, back for Year 2 this spring, will move to a bigger venue just downriver
BY IAN MCNULTY | IMCNULTY@THEADVOCATE.COM OCT 12, 2017 – 12:30 PM
When Top Taco returns in the spring for its second year, the tequila-fueled festival and taco competition will have a similar view but a new location.
Top Taco, scheduled for March 15, is moving downriver just a bit to Woldenberg Park, a bigger venue that will open up the event to more restaurants and bars and a potentially bigger crowd.
The event debuted in New Orleans last spring at the Riverwalk’s Spanish Plaza. It drew restaurants ranging from traditional taquerias to sushi bars and modern bistros to serve their own riffs on the taco.
