The Winners of Top Taco Festival 2022
The tacos were abundant and the tequila flowed freely at Westminster Center Park on June 23. Hundreds of foodies from across Denver came together to vote for the tastiest tacos in town. From crispy carnitas to savory steak, Denver’s best chefs went grill-to-grill vying for the title of Taco Champion. The heat was high and competition was fiery, but only the best could come out on top.
