The weather might be a little bit temperamental at the moment, but one thing that we certainly can rely upon to bring the heat this summer is the London Taco Experience. Uniting eight of the capital’s tastiest taco traders, this fiery fiesta lands in London next month for a day of eating, drinking, and being oh-so merry.

The event will be taco-ing over Riverside East in Stratford, and will see the likes of Hungry Taco, Pako Tako, and Mexclub all set up shop for the occasion. All tacos will be capped at £5 to ensure that visitors can try as many of them as possible. And if you take just one piece of advice from us today, let it be this: attend with an empty stomach or you’ll regret it.

Riverside East’s alfresco venue makes for a rather ideal spot to sample some tacos and sip some tequila in the sunshine. And the iconic ArcelorMittal Orbit lends itself as a pretty impressive backdrop for the proceedings. As with all good fiestas, attendees can expect to find margaritas, micheladas, and mezcal aplenty. Live DJs and ‘surprise entertainment’ will be appearing throughout the day, and visitors can also get involved with some mezcal tasting and a hot sauce showcase.

It’s set to be a day packed full of fun and flavour in equal measure. So, round up your friends and get ready to fiesta, folks.
