Cinco de Mayo. A day to down large quantities of guacamole, margaritas, chomp away on burritos, and to swallow tacos whole. Here’s a new way to celebrate: eat tacos until you give up and scream out ¡Ay Dios Mio! or until you are crowned El Champion. You’ll need to head to Picanté Fresh Mexican Grill on Bedford Street in Stamford to partake in this awesomeness. The contest will be going on in the parking lot behind their restaurant, so you can get some tacos and other goodies, come out back, and chow down while you watch people stuff their gullets. If you’ve never been, there is a wall of sauces and salsa there so you can make up any kind of combo that you’d like. Check out their foods and check out the details, too:

I once won a chicken nugget eating contest and the mental and physical anguish lingered for weeks haha…Side note…speaking of Cinco De Mayo, each time i walk down Little Summer Street I can help but to think that it could be closed off for an awesome Cinco De Mayo celebration…Riviera Maya, Mary Ann’s, Bar Taco, Barcelona…plus SBC and Buffalo Wild Wings always seem to throw themed events
Competitive eating LOOKS fun, but to your point, I wonder really how fun it is! :) :) :) I think everybody would love a shut down street of a Cinco de Mayo party! How awesome would that be? :)
Which salsas weren’t good? We only tried a few when we went and thought they were decent. Gagworthy certainly isn’t good, but maybe they deserve another try? :O
it was a tomato/cilantro one that was thier free offering that day – it was not a good first impression. i would return another time, but retaraunteurs need to be very picky when offering goods for anyone to try
Bummer, whitemist :( Definitely gotta go with your best. :)
Bummer, whitemist. Always go with your best. :)
‘cept that i was NOT very inpressed by there sidewalk offering of salsa the last Bedford St Art festival, i would still be tempted to enter, but my own issues of not being able to eat much at a time without gagging will prevent me from entering
