you should make it 17 and over. i got a whole bunch of high schoolers that are intrested in going!
This event was horrible! Only 2 taco trucks showed up and people had to wait like 2 hours to get a taco from just one of the trucks. Horrible event planning.
I couldn’t agree with you more. I attended the event and it did not deliver on its promises. It was awful planning and execution. How did they miss the mark by so far?! I’m want to get to the bottom of this.
eattacossf.com is awsome, bookmarked!
