The nonprofit Rogers Park Business Alliance (RPBA) is elated to announce the return of its annual Taco Crawl, a taco extravaganza on Thursday, July 17, 3-7 p.m. Twenty-two restaurants along Clark Street between Devon and Rogers—one of the city’s key dining destinations for Mexican restaurants—will offer their signature tacos to ticket buyers, rain or shine. Two taco routes, named Cilantro and Maíz, will be available for participants to choose from, each consisting of eleven restaurants. Advanced online tickets are $25 per route at RPBA.org, and $35 on the day of the event. The district focuses on promoting the unique cultural identity of Clark Street in Rogers Park and encourages economic development through events, such as Taco Crawl, which celebrate staple Chicago Mexican restaurants and empowers small business owners. Online registration is now live, and the number of tickets is limited. Each ticket warrants one signature taco or dish from each participating restaurant on their routes. Pre-paid passports and purchasing day-of tickets will be available at a check-in station operating at 6950 N. Clark St. from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Restaurants will stop serving at 7 p.m. Also at the check-in, there will be a free photo booth to commemorate the taco extravaganza.
