Rogers Park Taco Crawl
The nonprofit Rogers Park Business Alliance (RPBA) is elated to announce the return of its TACO CRAWL, a taco extravaganza on Thursday, July 20, 3-7 p.m. Fourteen restaurants along Clark Street between Devon and Touhy—one of the city’s utmost dining destinations for Mexican restaurants—will offer their signature tacos to ticket buyers, rain or shine. Newly added this year are tequila tastings included for all ticket buyers (21+), as well as two taco routes to choose from, each offering seven restaurants. Advance tickets are $20 per route at RPBA.org, and $30 on the day of.
The number of tickets is limited, and online registration is now live. Each ticket warrants one signature taco or dish from each participating restaurant on their respective routes. A check-in station will be operating at 7056 N. Clark St. on July 20 from 3-6 p.m. for picking up pre-paid crawl passports or purchasing day-of tickets. Restaurants will stop serving at 7 p.m.
