I was watching TV and saw a commercial for Superior Grocers. It turned out to be further from me than I was expecting but we made the trip anyway. It was different than I was expecting. It’s a very large supermarket. It is also more of a Mexican Supermarket.

Up above they always have from made tortillas from the Tortillaeria.

The produce section offered the usual and the exotic.

Prices were lower on Scallions and Cilantro they were only 3 for $1.

I also got a small head of lettuce for $1. and a 10 lb bag of russets for $2.99.

I noticed that they sell fresh espozate here.

They also offer many dried chili peppers.

Over to the right past the chili peppers were lots of Mexican Baked Goods.

Behind this area was some bargain shelves.

That’s a really great bargain shelf.I got that lower left sack with a butternut squash, a spaghetti squash and some gold potatoes. and I also picked up the sack up top with the 3 eggplants. I’m sorry now that I didn’t pick up more.

You can get chicken feet here. (I heard that the best soups are made with chicken feet….)

You can also get pig feet.

Prepared Masa

and LOTS of Crispy Pig Skins all over the store.

That was a peak inside of Superior Grocers.

Every THING is subject to change.

The Viva Taco Festival is the largest Dia de Metros Taco Festival in Nevada (Or maybe it’s the only? Dia de Metros Taco Festival in Nevada?). In 2024 it took place November 1st-November 3rd in Craig Ranch Park in NORTH LAS VEGAS Nevada. Besides tacos depending on when you were there you might have caught – a Carnival, lucha Libra Westling, a Taco Eating Contest, a Car Show, Mariachi, and Dancers (Some of these events required an additional cost).

Not sure what happened this year……This event is only a small faction of the size that it was last year….

This is what I saw.

Not all but many of the venders weren’t ready to open for the festival.

USA Today Wine and Food Experience is a food and adult beverage festival with music and live demonstrations. This year it happens on 900 E Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas Saturday October 12TH.

These were the latest list of expected food venders-

Others such as The Golden Tiki, Echo & Rig, Ferraro’s Ristorante, North Italia were on the list when I purchased my tickets. I didn’t notice Bowltastic or Craving Creole there but it is possible that I missed them?

Anyways

between my husband and me we got to sample almost everything food available. There was lots of wine and booze but we skipped that because it was 95 degrees here so it was too hot to enjoy booze outside.

First bite was something steak with Chile crisp from Project BBQ that was tasty and tender.

Next bite was very different than what I enjoyed from this restaurant previously.

Crack Shack Chicken sandwich was cold, unseasoned, and tough……

Peinto Thai served cold orange chicken, cold chicken wings, OK Asian pasta and fried rice.

Evel Pie served Pizza Cup Cakes

Off The Vine served only two vegan empanadas every 15 minutes……So almost nobody got to try this……..

Anima By Edo served very good detailed crab appetizers

Slater’s 50/50 was serving bacon macaroni and cheese balls and had the longest line of all the food venders.

But their balls were dry inside.

California Fish grill served a reasonably good mini fish platter.

Caviar Cartel Club served Italian Beef Sandwiches that weren’t so flavorful.

Not the best funnel cakes from Braud’s Funnel cake cafe (heavy and only a little powdered sugar)

Scallop plate from Water Grill Seafood Co

Refrigerator COLD pork sliders from Grillin McMillian

I am not planning on attending this festival next year.

Vegas Unstripped is a gathering of most of Las Vegas’s most acclaimed and creative chefs.Tickets were $150. a person and included unlimited bites and sips. The 2024 Food festival was held at the Palms Casino Resort on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada,

The expected participating chefs are-

Here’s a little taste of Unstripped 2024.

The above pork belly, cauliflower mousse, stuffed mushrooms with pickled peppers were one of my husband’s favorite bites of the night.

Monzu Italian sort of roast Italian cheese like it’s a piece of meat and it melts on slices of bread below each cheese. Then they offer a few sweet toppings like fig and pear mostarda….and a spicy one like Calabrian pepper to make interesting flavors on the cheese topped artisan bread.

This was more exciting to watch as the sun went down.

Monzu also made chicken gizzards with some sort of eggplant.

Above is braised rabbit some from Milpa.

Above is a braised duck ravioli from La Strega , Harlo Steakhouse

Above is a smoked brisket, cheese, potato pierogi from Mabels BBQ

Above is a chicken enmolado from Aroma Nation American Cocina.

Above is sausage and picked vegetables from 1228 Main. (This was another of my husband’s favorites)

One of the no-shows

That was a little taste of Unstripped 2024.

The Great Las Vegas Taco Festival was held at Craig Ranch Park in NORTH LAS VEGAS Nevada October 27-29TH 2023. Besides TACOS there were all kinds of things like a car show, carnival rides, margaritas, eating contests, a chihuahua beauty contest, craft venders and MORE! (If you were there the right day and right time)

We tried ………

An award wining mango habanero taco and a bulgogi beef taco from El Chino.

Both tacos are tasty but the spicy chicken taco is the one to get here….It really developed with lots of delicious flavors.

Next we try

the chicken and rib eye tacos from 911 Tacos & Beer.

Both tacos had ingredients in them that wasn’t in their description on their sign…..But still both are tasty and flavorful with tender fillings.

We also tried El Fuego Tacos.

We tried an asada and a chicken taco. These ran extra salty today. I can’t eat either taco.

Moving on

FINALLY fish tacos

From Ole Manny’s Seafood Shack we tried a shrimp and a fish taco and their hot habanero salsa.

Both are good…..The taco shells are the tastiest so far on these. The fish is fried perfect and seems free of oil….It’s tricky figuring out on how much salsa to use here because the salsa is extra strong but the right amount of drops makes it very good.

Going to fit in one more taco.

We tried a chipotle chicken and a birria taco from Slanging Tacos.

These both have extra tasty shells with lots of flavor to them….These both also are larger tacos with lots of filling…… The chicken taco is very tasty but it’s the tasty sauce and tasty shell that is delicious…..The chicken needs those flavors to be good. The birria is good but you have to buy the consume separately.

That was what we tried at The Great Las Vegas Taco Festival
