On Sunday, August 14, Westword will host Tacolandia, a celebration of the city's street tacos in all their tortilla-wrapped glory. Join us at Sports Authority Field to enjoy unlimited samples from many of Denver's top taquerias, cantinas, Mexican restaurants and food trucks.

Joining the fun will be the family-owned La Potranca Taqueria, which has been serving Mexican dishes at 2336 East 46th Avenue in Globeville since 2012. The owners say they prepare food that tastes like it was made at home, taking the extra time to make it right. That includes the chicken, pastor and carnitas tacos that La Potranca will be bringing to the festival.

That's just a fraction of what you'll be able to taste after you purchase tickets to Tacolandia at westwordtacolandia.com. Tickets are $40 for general admission, which gets you unlimited food samples and entertainment from 4 to 7 p.m. But until 11:59 p.m. tonight (August 10), you can snag two tickets for the price of one: Use the code ESTRELLA (all caps) to take advantage of the deal.

Or spring for a $75 VIP ticket, which allows early entry into the event at 3 p.m., plus two Estrella Jalisco beers and plenty of surprises — including some special tacos from chef Jamey Fader of Lola. Find out more at westwordtacolandia.com.
