The first annual Top Taco went down at Spanish Plaza last night with over 40 New Orleans restaurants competing for the Top Taco crown. Los Poboycitos, Afro-Cuban jazz and groove band Otra, and Mariachi Jalisco US provided the musical entertainment for the evening. The Ultimate Top Taco Award went to Taqueria Chilangos, the Mexican hot spot in Kenner. Two categories in which the judges and the people agreed on the best were Top Traditional Taco (both groups chose Taqueria Chilangos) and Top Traditional Margarita (both groups put Mizado and Johnny Sanchez in the top two slots). Here’s the rundown on the other winners:
