Your guide to the Tacos and Tequila Festival
The Tacos and Tequila Festival returns to Retama Park tomorrow, bringing a lineup of throwback hitmakers.
Why it matters: It's not every day that you can hear your Walkman or iPod playlist in real life.
Zoom in: Lil Jon, Ginuwine, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Xzibit, Trick Daddy, Murphy Lee, Yung Joc, Mike Jones and DJ Ashton Martin are scheduled to perform.
The festival is 2–11pm at the racetrack in Selma, just outside Loop 1604.
Tickets are currently $79 for general admission and $179 for VIP.
Admission is exclusively sold online.
The vibe: As the name implies, the festival features a lineup of food trucks selling tacos and other eats.
The 21-and-up event will also have fully stocked bars throughout the venue with tequila and margaritas for an additional cost (VIP admission includes three margarita tickets).
Guests can also experience events like lucha libre wrestling, a car show and a Chihuahua beauty pageant throughout the day.
DJ Ashton Martin will kick things, with Lil Jon closing out the night.
Zoom out: The festival is part of a national tour. San Antonio is sandwiched between Houston, which held the event in April, and Dallas, which will host it on May 17.
Each city features a different lineup.
If you go: Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of our cooler days before temperatures begin to creep up to triple-digits next week.
