Then, they voted for their favorite. After all the votes were tallied, here’s who was crowned best tacos in town:

While sampling, guests also sipped on tequila cocktails like the Margarita and Paloma, courtesy of Lunazul Tequila. Tastings of Lunazul Tequila and Tequila Ocho were also available for attendees to try. Many guests took part in an additional VIP tequila tasting, where they enjoyed an exclusive opportunity to taste three variations of Tequila Ocho's award-winning tequila.
Nashville Smile Bar brought the photo booth fun and DJ Housequake provided the entertaining tunes.
