What's better than a Taco Tuesday? A Taco Thursday, of course! Join us on Thursday, June 1 at Candela Taco Bar & Lounge in Mid-City for Time Out L.A.'s first-ever taco tasting. You'll get eight different taco tastings, plus some elote and a paleta. Wash it all down with two complimentary crafted cocktails from Cocktail Academy and Hornitos Tequila (and a cash bar if you're still thirsty) while listening to a live DJ set, with a Time Out giveaway and photo ops all night long.
So what exactly will we be feasting on at this fiesta? Let's taco 'bout it.
