Taco lovers in Bellingham, Washington, can indulge their passion for tacos while supporting a great cause by participating in the United Way of Whatcom County’s second annual Tastiest Taco 2024 Competition and Fundraiser.
The event, which kicked off June 4 and runs through Tuesday, July 16, gives taco tasters the chance buy a $30 Ticket to Taco booklet that includes the names and addresses of the 10 restaurants that are donating tacos for the competition. Participants can present that booklet at each restaurant in exchange for one free taco; once they’ve visited each location, they can vote for their favorite taco. After the event United Way staff will tally votes and announce the winner of the Tastiest Taco Contest.
“These tacos are the best of the best, hand selected by management to represent each business’s unique style and flavor profile,” information from United Way says. “Each business has chosen one meat and one vegetarian taco to present for this event.”
These are the participating restaurants and the tacos they’re offering:
- Ay Chihuahua Cantina (on Railroad): Meat – Al pastor, Veggie – Potato
- Birrieria Tijuana: Meat – Birria, Veggie – Veggie
- Black Sheep: Meat – Chicken Tinga, Veggie – Mushroom Kale
