TACO WARS is back!

Created by in 2017, part the mission has been to raise money for animals in need.

This year, we are supporting because they do important work with free spay-and-neuter clinics, and 24/7 animal surrender services by way of their drop box. No questions asked.

If you have tickets to TACO WARS, you’ll get to sample a dozen tacos from some of New Mexico’s finest chefs. You’ll get to sample luscious cocktails from some of the world’s most exciting liquor brands. And, you’ll be helping to save animals in need.

We hope to see you there!
