Inaugural Taco Eating Contest at El Palacio of Chandler

This Saturday, El Palacio Restaurant & Cantina of Chandler is inviting you to participate (or at least witness) some serious taco take-down. Starting at 4 p.m., 20 first-come sign ups will compete to see who can eat the most ground beef tacos in just 5 minutes. The first place winner will walk away with a $75 cash prize and trophy while second place will receive a $25 gift certificate to El Palacio.

Two other Serrano family locations will also be holding their own taco competitions, including: Casa Serrano of Lake Havasu (same day, same time) and Casa Serrano of Mohave Valley (Sunday at 4 p.m.)

The buy-in for this all-you-can-eat sprint is only $10. To find out more about how you can reserve your spot at the table (or at least a good viewing seat) visit El Palacio Restaurant & Cantina on Facebook.

Have a drink a day, eh? I'll bet the alcohol industry really loves that. lol.

Rod Williams

Not true, I was born in 1942, last drink I had was in 1982, see a lot of people in my life who bit the dust from drinking. A drink a day WILL create an addiction to one of the worst drugs there is, worse than heroin. The alcohol industry is very powerful as evidenced by being given the green light to advertise a toxic poison that is responsible for many deaths and broken homes. A great many. Talk with a child who has grown up under an alcoholic parent or someone in a wheelchair who have been hit by a drunk driver. Alcohol kills all life, plant and animal. Millions of human mammals have been adversely affected by alcohol. Pot is a felony in Arizona, alcohol is pushed daily on the people and according to the information I was given a great many breweries and distilleries have donated to the keep pot illegal cause.'

Moderate drinking is good for your health, according to several studies. For example: http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/06/health/women-drinking-daily-health

How do I unlike you motherfucker?

Rod Williams

Every commercial for alcoholic beverages causes a certain number of DUI's, fatal accidents, parents beating a child. The truth is that alcohol is a toxic fucking poison and the pain and misery that alcohol has caused will never be fully realized by the human mammal.
