Photo Recap: Taco the Art Show **UPDATE**

National Taco Day has sadly passed but what a glorious day it was! The event, hosted by the talented Mandee Rae, was instantly jam packed with taco appreciators from around the city!






Were you unable to make it or just want to remember the day fondly while craving tacos for the second time this week; below are photos of just some of the incredible Taco art pieces the night had to offer:








Though I was blown away by all the unique artwork, the Shark & Fish Taco's painting (above) was a personal favorite, as were the sparkle tacos (below)-- sparkle tacos!! Towards the end of the evening we raffled off the Giant Crocheted Taco (by me, duh!) & the winner seemed genuinely thrilled! I hope she is using it as a pillow somewhere as I type.







Thanks again to Mandee Rae for organizing & curating such a delicious, amusing & good timezzzz event!

Last night was a SMASH success!!!  We packed the Cantina Mexicana to the rafters, sold some art,  killed some tacos and even enjoyed some jalapeno margaritas (Marga-penos?)!  All in all, it was an amazing night!  Thanks to everyone who braved the rain and came out to celebrate our nation's greatest food holiday. 

National Deviled Egg Day is November 2nd....start the countdown!

Happy National Taco Day Eve!

Tonight families long seperated by miles and time will come together to celebrate National Taco Day Eve by taking turns placing their heads in the ceremonial paper bag to do the National Taco Day dance.  It is a matter of great pride and civic duty that all Americans take part in this national celebration to celebrate our taco independence and ensure future generations are able to do the same. 

Happy National Taco Day Eve. 

mmm...tacos.

Scott Murry can beat up your Dad.

SIX days to Taco the Art Show!

There are only SIX short days left before the National Taco Day anthem is played loud and strong over all of Union Square.  Six days until we are able to celebrate our nation's most overlooked national food holiday.  Six days until local artists and residents come together in the spirit of taco brotherhood. 

Six days until....$1 MINI TACOS!

Six!

See you tomorrow for FIVE!

Paper Taco Trucks

What?!?  Look how cool these are!

Little mini (what? they are) paper taco trucks to print out, fold up and squeal at!  

They are so the coolest little things.  Here's the one I folded:

 Adorable!!  Go make your own and post a picture in the comments. 

See you at the show!

The Flyer

Thanks for making the flyer Scott!!

Taco the Cake?

These are the ultimate vegetarian taco.

Kristen in Washington made these adorable Taco Pops (above) that were featured on the baking blog Bakerella where she also included some directions on how to make them and (below) Tina over at Tina's Sugar Shack made these awesome mini-cakes complete with shredded lettuce and grated cheddar cheese (aka dyed green and orange coconut).  Amazing!


Tacos are great on their own but taco shaped cake takes things to the next level.  We're at about a 7 now.  Things are getting crazy.  These have to make their way into Taco the Art Show!!  Any takers?
