Top Taco

Top Taco 2024

Each year, some of New Orleans’ best restaurants, taquerias and bars head to Top Taco to battle it out for the title of Top Taco Champion while festgoers reap the rewards of their labor. In addition to the unlimited taco and tequila tastings from some of your favorite eateries across the Crescent City, Top Taco also features live music performances, special guest appearances, interactive activities and more. 

The annual Top Taco festival takes place Thursday, Oct. 24 at Lafreniere Park. Proceeds from this year's festival will benefit the PLEASE Foundation, a non-profit that provides mentoring, leadership training and scholarships to at-risk students in New Orleans.
