“The inaugural “Long Beach Taco Week” launches on Sunday, April 20th and continues thru April 27th. Over a dozen taco-centric restaurants are participating. The local restaurants will offer unique over-the-top tacos in combination with value-priced taco offers. Featured Tacos and Taco Plates are value-priced at $5, $10, and $15.”

The objective is that in addition to encouraging local and surrounding "foodies” to enjoy what the expanding Long Beach culinary community has to offer, events like Taco Week support the local economy and put “butts in seats” of the city's valued restaurants.

“There are no tickets or passes required. Taco lovers are invited to dine-in, take-out or have featured tacos delivered from their favorite restaurants, or order from their individual websites.”

One of the participating restaurants is Chef Ismael Miramontes’ La Chancla Mexican Grill. Many of his signature recipes have been handed down from his Family. Chef Ismael joins us.
