Tacolandia 2017
There were tacos for miles and nothing but smiles yesterday at Tacolandia, Westword's annual celebration of Denver's best Mexican street food. For a few glorious hours, Civic Center Park was transformed into a delicious kingdom where the mighty taco reigned over a festival of music, drinks, art and dancing. Denver taco lovers turned out in force to experience pure tortilla bliss. All photos by Danielle Lirette.
