As Cinco de Mayo approaches there are plenty of events to celebrate the occasion, but The Tacos & Tequila Party + Social 2018 at the Ritz Ybor might be the perfect place for you. Brought to you by Sunset Events and SaltBlock Hospitality + Catering, you will have ten taco and tequila stations to make your way through so bring your appetite and your taste buds. This is the second year for the event, previously having done this as a Day of the Dead celebration.
Promoter Okie Tilo does events throughout Tampa year-round, and his Tacos & Tequila Party + Social 2018 will be like a food festival that’s held inside. “The Ritz has three rooms, so we’ve themed them out for a different region in Mexico,” Tilo explained. The main theater area will be the Baja region, another room will be decked out as the Yucatan Peninsula, and the final room will be Huaco. Chef Dan from SaltBlock Hospitality + Catering will be setting out ten taco stands, each paired with a Cazadores Tequila.
Some of the tacos available.
Cazadores Tequila was created in 1922 in Arandas, Mexico by Don Jose Maria Banuelos. It’s become a business for the whole community in Los Altos and is made from 100% blue agave. The Tacos and Tequila Party & Social will have both tastings and margaritas available, so you can make your way through the taco stands as well as try this high-quality agave. Beer and other libations will also be available, and tickets range from $10-45 depending on how much food and booze you'd like included.
So save the date, Cinco de Mayo May 5 from 7pm-10pm at the Ritz Ybor. There will be a live broadcast by 93.3 FLZ’s Rose from the KANE show, and it is a 21+ event. There are three different pricing levels and a la carte pricing as well. Viva Mexico!
