The festival will kick off at 4 p.m. at Parque Fundadores and La Ventana al Mar, located in the Old Town. Attendees can look forward to a broad selection of tacos, prepared by skilled local chefs. Festival organizer, Trinidad Juarez, extends an invitation to locals, tourists, and residents of Quintana Roo's municipalities to join the festivities. She emphasized that the event will showcase the best of local gastronomy and culture, providing a great opportunity for family and friends to gather.
