Tacoma loves tacos - at least according to the thousands that have voted in our Tournament of Tacos. Yesterday's taco voting action doubled the previous highest vote count for a single day. And local favorites fell. They fell hard. Every winner yesterday won by capturing 60 to 65 percent of the votes.
What four taco-slinging joints will move onto the Final Cuatro?
The drum roll please ...
Thanks to your votes, we've narrowed down the Tournament of Tacos Readers' Poll to the Final Cuatro: Taqueria El Rinconsito, Moctezuma's, Taqueria Burrito Loco and Tijuana Taco.
Let's remember that every taco that made it into the tourney is worth a nosh. Still, someone's gotta win. We started with 64 of the greater Tacoma area's best shells. Now, these four titanic tacos face off for the ultimate glory - shell to shell battles to determine the best taco in the greater Tacoma area. Which Mexican restaurant has the moxie to nail down the championship? Whose taco will win it all?
Today's Final Cuatro match-ups are these:
GAME 1: Taqueria El Rinconsito vs. Moctezuma's Mexican Restaurant
GAME 2: Taqueria Burrito Loco vs. Tijuana Taco
How do you vote? It's easy! Just click here. You may vote once. The poll is open to 11:45 p.m.
We'll post updates on our Facebook and Twitter pages throughout the day. We'll announce the two winners tomorrow morning. The final championship games will take place Monday, April 5. We'll announce the winner at our Tournament of Tacos party that night inside Station 56 in Tacoma.
