In Houston we have festivals for every kind of delight imaginable, from barbecue to tequila. Now the people behind the Tamale Festival Houston are rolling out a fest dedicated to tacos.

Dubbed TacoWorld, because everything AstroWorld-related is so hot these days thanks to Travis Scott, the all-day event will be held at the East End's Guadalupe Plaza Park (2311 Runnels) on Sept. 29.

Event organizer Daniel Hinojosa is also the brains and pitmaster behind the Harris County General Store Barbecue Co., located on the east end off Navigation which has been melding taco and barbecue culture on its menu since it opened in Jan. 2018.

Hinojosa told Chron.com this week that not only will some of Houston's best taco makers be dishing out samples, but there will also be a "hottest salsa on the east end" component. Here's hoping we get a cold front early this year. There will also be live music and street art demonstrations to entertain everyone in between taco adventuring.

The name of the event came to Hinojosa naturally as he used to work at AstroWorld as a rides and food services supervisor.

"It's a tribute to AstroWorld's legacy of a wonderful world of fun, plus keeping East End neighborhood culture and traditions alive is very important to me," Hinojosa told Chron.com.

The event is currently $5 pre-sale general admission tickets until Aug. 31, after which the price goes up to $10. A special big-baller $85 VIP ticket gets ticket holders access to a special taco and barbecue buffet, along with cheap beer and mixed drink options. No word if this comes with a hammock to nap in afterwards.

The festival is still working on the final taco vendor list for the late September event. Moon Rooster, Esa Taqueria, Spicy Dog, Taqueria La Amistad Gutierrez, Alamo Tex Mex Grill, and Taquitos Ayala are just some of the vendors set to appear at the festival with many more additions to come, according to Hinojosa.

TacoWorld organizers also recently announced that the eighth annual Tamale Festival Houston will be held on December 1, the unofficial kickoff of holiday tamale season in Houston. Since it debuted in 2011 the tamale-centric event has grown by leaps and bounds, welcoming 1,000 attendees the first year and now hosts over 10,000.
