Tacos are just so tasty! They should absolutely be enjoyed, and one of the best ways to do that is through a bacchanalian feast. Perhaps a taco festival? That sounds fantastic, and we’re happy to report that New Jersey plays host to such an event. There will be tons of tacos to devour, but there’s much more fun to be had.
