See photos below from the first annual Taco Takedown included local favorites: Von's Bistro, Roosters, Fuego, Nourish Café, Rock 'N Roll Sushi, Taco Mama, La Cocina, and P.S. Taco Company. Prizes were awarded for People's Choice and 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Awards were created by local artist, Lucy Gafford.

We couldn't have made Mobile's first taco competition happen without the support from our media partner, Mighty, and community partner, Hargrove Engineers + Constructors and The Hargrove Foundation! We also want to thank T.S. Wall & Sons, Inc., the Law Office of John M. Teague, P.C., Container Yard, and DS Services for their sponsorship.
