Taco Cabana President Announces Margarita Contest. Guests Invited to Help Create the Next Great Margarita Flavor in Celebration of National Tequila Day.
Taco Cabana will also honor the day by launching a unique competition for aspiring mixologists to help create the brand's next amazing margarita flavor. Brand President and COO Ulyses Camacho invites fans across Texas to submit their own unique margarita creations for a chance to win the ultimate tequila lover's getaway: an immersive trip to the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, the birthplace of tequila, to explore the heart and soul of tequila making firsthand.
'Tequila is part of Taco Cabana's soul. It's embedded in our culture, our cocktails, and our guest experience. Our competition to help create the next amazing Taco Cabana margarita flavor is much more than a contest. It gives everyone who enters an invitation to be part of our brand story, and it promises an opportunity to experience and celebrate everything our margaritas represent,' said Camacho. 'Our lucky grand prize winners will receive a trip that's truly extraordinary, because there's nothing more memorable than traveling to the heart of tequila country to see how it's made, connect with the historic culture behind it, and get to know the authentic soul of Taco Cabana.'
Open to all Texas residents 21 and older, the online contest to help create the next great Taco Cabana margarita flavor runs through from July 24 to August 10, with weekly prizes that include Taco Cabana gift cards and free Taco Cabana food for a year. Three (3) grand prize winners and a guest will travel to Jalisco, Mexico, the global epicenter of premier tequila, to experience firsthand the art of producing world-class tequila. They will enjoy a private tour of agave fields in the highlands of Jalisco and a behind-the-scenes look at the artisanal distillation and aging process of blue agave tequila. Exclusive tastings and one-on-one sessions with local tequileros and distillery experts also are included in the unforgettable grand prize.
Interested participants can visit https://tacocabana.com/margarita-contest-2025 and provide a description of their ideal margarita recipe, which can include up to eight ingredients along with either photos or videos of their creations. The concoctions will be judged by a panel of Taco Cabana beverage experts with winners notified on August 18 and publicly announced on August 25.
'National Tequila Day isn't an ordinary observance for Taco Cabana; it's a celebration of a key ingredient in our brand story, which is why we've giving customers the opportunity to engage more deeply with us in several guest-friendly ways,' added Camacho. 'From seasonal varieties and limited-time offers to traditional favorites and signature classics, our delicious margaritas are a significant part of our legacy – just like the high-quality tequila that gives them our famous kick.'

Mexican-American designer apologizes for Adidas sandal design accused of cultural appropriation
MEXICO CITY — Mexican-American clothing designer Willy Chavarria has apologized for an Adidas sandal he created after being accused by Mexican authorities of 'cultural appropriation' for imitating an Indigenous shoe design. The design launched by Adidas, known as the Oaxaca Slip On, is a black sandal with braided leather straps attached to a chunky sports shoe sole. Mexican artisans and authorities say the intricate leather braids look strikingly similar to the traditional footwear known as huaraches made by the Zapotec Indigenous people in Oaxaca, produced mostly in the town of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag. They have accused the brand and Chavarria of 'cultural appropriation' and of copying the design without the permission of the Indigenous community. Authorities were quick to note that cultural Mexican designs have long been copied by major brands before, and said they planned to tighten laws to protect Mexican designs. Chavarria responded to mounting criticisms in comments sent to The Associated Press on Tuesday. In a statement addressed to the 'people of Oaxaca,' he said that the design was intended to 'to honor the powerful cultural and artistic spirit of Oaxaca and its creative communities — a place whose beauty and resistance have inspired me.' 'I am deeply sorry that the shoe was appropriated in this design and not developed in direct and meaningful partnership with the Oaxacan community,' Chavarria wrote. 'This falls short of the respect and collaborative approach that Oaxaca, the Zapotec community of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag, and its people deserve.' Chavarria is a Mexican-American designer, who has risen to fame for his designs exploring Chicano, or Mexican-American, culture, often mixing Mexican themes with American products. His designs include sweaters reading 'Chicano' in red, scripted font, and styles with the Mexican flag and cowboy hats reminiscent of northern Mexican culture. In recent months, Chavarria also was put in the spotlight for a show at Paris Fashion Week that was intended as criticism of the Trump administration's deportation policy. Chavarria's comments came days after Adidas made a public apology for the design, and in a statement said it was reaffirming 'our commitment to collaborate with Yalalag in a respectful dialogue that honors their cultural legacy.' Last week, in a letter to Oaxacan state officials, the company requested to sit down with local officials and to discuss how it can 'repair the damage' to Indigenous populations. 'Adidas recognizes and values the cultural richness of Mexico's Indigenous communities and the meaning of their artisanal heritage,' it wrote in a statement. Janetsky writes for the Associated Press.
