The laneway beside Double Vision Brewing transforms into a full Mexican street fiesta. Expect a stacked lineup of taco vendors serving bold, authentic flavours, from slow-cooked meats and grilled proteins to handmade tortillas and cow tongue tacos (the crowd favourite that asks questions and gives bold answers). Mexican dancers and live entertainment bring the atmosphere to life from start to finish. Free entry, family-friendly, pay as you go. This year, there's an extra draw: three brand-new festival beers brewed for Visa Wellington On a Plate make their exclusive first appearance here. It's a sneak peek at what's coming, a celebration of Mexican culture supported by the Mexican Embassy since day one, and proof that the best food spreads through word of mouth, locals telling locals, friends bringing friends, the kind of buzz that fills a laneway.
