Get ready to spice up your taste buds!
For ten tantalizing days, from Wednesday, May 1st through Friday, May10th, Taco Love returns to Cornwall, uniting eleven local restaurants in a festive homage to one of the most iconic and beloved dishes – the taco. This taco extravaganza, now in its triumphant third year, promises to deliver an extraordinary experience to residents and visitors alike during the spirited season of Cinco de Mayo.
From the established fan-favourites like ESCA Gourmet Pizza + Bar to the fresh twists by Carrots N Dates, the participating restaurants – which include renowned names such as Shoeless Joes, Billy K’s, Seguin Patate, and many more – will each present a taco with a unique spin that transcends the traditional. This year’s lineup is a testament to the culinary diversity and creativity that thrive in our vibrant community.
Taco aficionados are encouraged to embark on a culinary circuit, visiting each of the eleven venues to sample their unique creations. What awaits is not just a meal, but an experience that is as rich in variety as it is in flavour.
