CHICAGO — The beloved Chicago Taco & Tequila Fest is back in action this weekend, drawing food lovers and fiesta-goers to Wrightwood Park for two days of tacos, tequila, and summer vibes.
The festival officially kicked off Friday, June 28, and runs through Saturday, June 29, filling the Lincoln Park neighborhood with the aromas of sizzling meats, fresh toppings, and premium agave-based spirits. Local taquerias and vendors are offering everything from classic street-style tacos to inventive culinary twists — all paired with a curated selection of tequila tastings, craft cocktails, and micheladas.
Prime Tacos Brings Star Power to the Fest
Festivalgoers can expect more than just food and drink. Anthony Solis, owner of the popular Prime Tacos, joined WGN News Saturday morning to tease what he’s cooking up for the crowd.
“We’re bringing bold flavor and something for every kind of taco lover,” Solis said, highlighting that his menu this year includes birria tacos, al pastor, and vegan options for plant-based fans. His stall, consistently among the most visited, is known for combining authentic Mexican roots with Chicago’s creative food culture.
