The Tacover Taco & Tequila Festival: Europe’s Biggest Mexican Food Celebration is Coming!

Get ready, London! From 15th to 17th August, Richmond Athletic Ground will explode with flavour, music, and culture as The Tacover Taco & Tequila Festival returns—bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever! 

What to Expect:

This year’s edition will be Europe’s largest Mexican food and drink event, bringing together over 25 Mexican food stalls and 15 margarita & tequila bars for a three-day celebration like no other.

For the first time ever, the festival will also showcase a variety of authentic Mexican street foods—think Chicharrón, Elote, Tamales, and Churros—expanding beyond tacos to give visitors a true taste of Mexico.

Explore the Mercadito by MexiBrit

Alongside the food and drinks, visitors will also be able to explore the colourful and cultural Mercadito by MexiBrit — a specially curated Mexican artisan market featuring Sweet Nibble, Luzmar Handmade, Marketianguis, Inkas Crafts, Latin Hands, Art Mkt, Marusa and Peppermint Lola:

• 🎨 Beautiful handmade arts & crafts

• 💍 Unique jewellery

• 🍞 Traditional pan dulce and more

It’s the perfect place to browse, shop, and take home a little piece of Mexican culture while supporting talented small businesses and artists from the UK’s vibrant Mexican community.

Affordable Flavours

Tacos at the event will be capped at just £4 each (sold individually), and every bar will offer at least one margarita under £10. Expect to eat well and sip often—without burning a hole in your wallet.

Best of the Best

The event will feature a public vote and judges panel to crown the Best Taqueria and Best Tequila Bar, so every bite and sip counts!
