Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, Sycuan Casino presents the Taco Takedown! Three chefs were paired with a bartender to create a taco & tequila pairing for the May GameDay Sports Bar & Grill menu. The three pairings were judged by a panel of three based on presentation, taste, side dish, cohesiveness and creativity.
ALL of these tacos and cocktails will be on the GameDay Sports Bar & Grill menu during the month of May so you can judge for yourself!
Chefs & Bartenders:
Chef Paul Gonzales (Open Range Bison Taco) & Dee Dee Valley (Sweet Chiquita)
Chef Luis Covarubias (Mole Steak Taco) & J. J. Amores (Javi’s Wallbanger)
Chef Tommy Guy (Sweet Chipotle Surf & Turf Taco) & Andrew Lutack (Mayan Mule)
Judges:
Michele Parente, San Diego Union Tribune
