The first taco of the day was a solid guajillo pork with a hit of sweet and bright dragon fruit. With a bit of extra salt I could eat this one all day.

This little piggy ate sixteen tacos this past weekend at the Fort Worth Taco Fest. Here were my first two: a four star pulled pork from Vintage Grill and some ghost pepper heat from Bad Azz Burrito.
Holy hell there were some fantastic flavors in these two. I love the flavor of the chimmichurri sauce.
A double dose of pastor goodness included a four star attempt from the folks at R Taco.
World of Beer and Wild Salsa came to win the damn thing! Seriously, that smoky pulled pork was phenomenal.
The last two from the recent Fort Worth Taco Fest were both four star tacos. El Paisa did a fantastic traditional al pastor. The brisket and crema combo from Chuyito’s was also very very good.
Whoops, forgot to post the rest of the Taco Fest tacos! Here’s a solid one from Vintage Grill.
Dayne’s Craft Barbecue brought one of the more interesting tacos of the day. The meat has a good crunchy crispy texture that stood out from the crowd.
I didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast tacos but the smoked brisket tacos were pretty decent. The very basic lettuce and cheese belied the smoky and well-seasoned brisket.
My first taco of the festival this year was a fantastic brisket taco from Del Norte Tacos.
Birrieria & Taqueria Cortez is one of two local trucks that sprang up and into popularity recently in Fort Worth. Even just after opening for the day, they quickly gathered a full line of cars waiting for tacos.
They were really, really good. Almost like mini quesadillas, three tacos were pliable and filled with cheese and beef. They were savory, beefy, rich, and creamy from the cheese. I almost didn’t mind the juices and grease spilling out onto my shirt and seatbelt.
Definitely worth a visit, just make sure you have napkins or wet wipes on your visit.
