(Yes, folks, there’s more!)
Attendees can enjoy tacos for $2 each from the taquerias of their choice, along with world-class lucha libre wrestlers like Mexican luchador Cibernetico and Dallas resident Aski. Taco Libre Dallas takes place, rain or shine, from 3-10pm Saturday, April 28 at The Shed at Dallas Farmer’s Market.
The line-up of live music at the taco fest includes “Tex-Mex meets Honky Tonk” group the Tejas Brothers, Selena tribute band Bidi Bidi Banda—from Austin, punk rockers Los Skarnales, and Dallas Observer Music Award-winning alternative band Mayta. Lastly, attendees can satisfy their sweet tooth with all natural, organic popsicles from Steel City Pops and beautifully hand-decorated cookies from Dulce de Monze.
