Taco(s) Tues(Every)day

Tacos aren’t only meant for Tuesdays. Thanks to the new Explore Elgin Taco Passport in Illinois, taco aficionados have a chance to win prizes by enjoying the stops on Explore Elgin’s Taco Trail.

We spoke with Kerina Evenson, Communications and Experience Manager of the Elgin Area Convention and Visitors Bureau about the new trail and passport.

How did the idea of a taco trail in the Elgin area come about?

The taco trail originated from our appreciation for tacos and the significant contributions of the Hispanic community in the Elgin Area. Our aim was to ensure inclusivity and showcase the excellence of tacos for all individuals to enjoy!

Are there any unique or specific tacos that you recommend trying?

Some of our personal favorites are from Taqueria El Chapla and BeaUnique Latin Kitchen! Both are super flavorful and unique.
