Get ready, Columbus.

This year’s Columbus Taco Fest is slated to have more options on deck than last year’s, according to Executive Director Hugo Albornoz.

This year’s Grab-N-Go event will be held from noon to 7 p.m. May 15-16 at the Ohio History Connection. And while last year’s event had 14 vendors, this year’s could have close to 20.

Albornoz said he still wanted to hold the festival in a carryout format to ensure safety during the ongoing pandemic.

“We have a responsibility to take care of everybody,” he said.

As such, guests are encouraged to order their food ahead of time using the Street Food Finder app, though walk-up orders are still permitted.

And come summer, Albornoz has plans up his sleeves to bring even more tacos to Columbus with the first-ever Taco Week from June 7-12.

“We realized that some other cities are doing some similar events,” he said.
