taco JUDGE

Think You Have What It Takes to Judge the Best Tacos in the

Judging a taco contest sounds fun and delicious, right? We think so too! Last year’s competition was an incredible experience, and we’re bringing it back—bigger and better than ever!

The Annual Antelope Valley Taco Festival is happening on June 7, 2025, at Poncitlán Square in downtown Palmdale. As founders, we’re committed to ensuring that every part of this competition is 100% legit—because great tacos deserve serious judging!

What Makes This Competition Stand Out?

✅ Serious Judges – We’re looking for passionate, fair, and dedicated taco lovers.
✅ Fair Scoring System – Each taco will be judged on Presentation, Execution, and Taste.
✅ Real Prizes – Winners will be announced on stage at 4:30 PM and awarded promptly.

As a judge, you’ll get to sample some of the best tacos in the AV and help crown the ultimate taco champion!
