After a successful debut last year, the second installment of Texas Monthly’s Taco Fest is officially expanding its footprint and heading to EpicCentral in Grand Prairie this June. DFW taco lovers can look forward to sampling some of the state’s finest offerings while enjoying live ballet folklórico, Cumbia tunes, and a full lineup of cultural entertainment.
For those new to the Lone Star State, Texas Monthly stands as one of our most respected publications.
