World Taco Eating Championship is right here in San Antonio on Saturday

SAN ANTONIO - The first ever World Taco Eating Championship is Saturday right here in San Antonio.

Those who signed up will compete alongside professional eaters for a chance to win $10,000 in prizes. For ten raucous, high-stakes minutes, competitors will battle bite-for-bite as they chew, chomp and chow down on Taco Cabana bean and cheese tacos.

The Guinness Book of World Records will be onsite to potentially crown a record holder.

The event takes place Saturday at noon at the Taco Cabana Austin Highway location.

This is Taco Cabana's first event like this, but they didn't pull out any stops.

“Our iconic Bean and Cheese Tacos have been a fan-favorite for decades, and now they’re taking center stage to help us reinforce what has made Taco Cabana a beloved dining destination for nearly half a century,” said Ulyses Camacho, President and COO of Taco Cabana. “As we recognize 47 years in business, we are proud to unveil a one-of-a-kind spectacle that’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before – a celebration that features world-class eaters, the electric thrill of a Guinness World Record attempt and the kind of global exposure that takes Taco Cabana to new heights.”

To celebrate Alondra and Corderro tried their own taco eating contest!
