The 2025 Viva Taco Fest Happened in North Las Vegas Nevada at Craig Ranch Park on Craig Road (Oct.31, Nov.1, Nov.2). This was billed as the largest taco fest in the country. A fifteen dollar ticket got you a general admission ticket to get you in and the rest was up to you. You enter and see an endless amount of venders selling all kinds of goods. It was sort of like a swap mart was brought to you. Then you pass by various Day of The Dead displays. (below are just a few)

Then you finally get to the food venders. This was the first food truck I saw.

Not all but the majority of food was offered here.

I was very surprised that a lot of the food offered wasn’t tacos.

There were several different French Fry Vendors.

Funnel cake vender. I also saw pizza here, a few doughnuts, and few Ice creams.

Further down was a large stage with blaring Mexican Music.

They also had covered patio seating.

We tried a variety of tacos from a variety of places here.

Fish and Shrimp Tacos

Bulgogi Beef, Carne Asada, Chicken with red salsa, Chicken with Green salsa

Chicken and Carne Asada Tacos – These were the best by a long shot. They were so darn flavorful that the other tacos SUCKED after tasting these tacos.

They came from here.

I don’t think there is a name anywhere. I see a logo for Mr Papas Potato chips but nothing else. (a couple people on Facebook told me the correct name for this place is Mr Papas Y Raspados)

Also our newspaper and local TV news do very little in the way of food mews and this taco festival wasn’t featured. Also no list of venders on the Viva Taco Fest Website. BAH!

That was my trip to the 2025 Viva Taco Fest.
