Taco Vampiro
On my recent visit to the festival, I picked up a Taco Vampiro. This taco was out of this world! The beef was delicious and the crispy cheese added a nice texture to the dish.
The esquites, or Mexican corn salad, that accompanied the taco was the perfect balance of spicy and savory. It complimented the flavor of the taco perfectly.
I ordered this taco alongside the Poppy Flower Margarita and it made for a delicious lunch stop while touring the World Showcase!
Overall Thoughts
Overall, I would rate this dish as one of the best of the fest in my opinion! It is filling enough to work as a meal without being too heavy. The flavors were fresh and representative of Mexico. I will definitely be picking this up again!
