Taco Takedown Update!
We’ve made the tough decision to postpone this year’s Taco Takedown until next year due to lower-than-expected participation. We want more tacos!
While we’re disappointed we won’t be crowning a taco champion this year, we’re grateful for everyone who showed interest and support. Thank you!
But that doesn’t mean you have to wait for tacos... this Sunday, we encourage you to visit your favorite local taco vendor, grab some tacos and margaritas, and show them some love. 🌮🍹 ❤️
And mark your calendars—we’ll be back and ready to take down some tacos next year! 🎉
📅 Save the Date: August 1, 2027

🌮 Taco Takedown — this Sunday! 1-4pm

🌮🔥 COME AT ME, BRO! 🔥🌮
Colin from Stanchion Pub in Harvard has entered the Taco Takedown arena—and he’s got something to say. 👀
He’s not backing down. He’s not playing nice. And he’s definitely not handing over that Best Taco in McHenry County title without a fight. 🏆🌮
Who’s brave enough to challenge Colin?
Bring. It. On. 😎
