    Tacolandia is the country's largest taco festival, according to our taco correspondent Bill Esparza. He's curating LA Weekly's taco-extravaganza again this year and is bringing more than 100 vendors to the festival from the Baja, New Mexico and... wait for it... London. Esparza tells us what to eat at Tacolandia 2016 and gives us an update on where to find the best tacos in California and abroad. Get your Tacolandia tickets here and find more taco news on Esparza's blog, Street Gourmet LA.
