Join the Portland Mercury, Hornitos Tequila, Nicky USA, and Mississippi Studios on Saturday June 18th from 12-4pm for Portland's ONLY celebration of Tacos ’n’ Tequila! Enjoy unique tacos from four of Portland’s finest chefs while sampling four unique tequila drinks, all made exclusively for TNT! Like....

TACO: Mae—New rockstar chef Maya Lovelace is taking her Southern US flair south of the border—and the results are transcendent of both genres. Her taco is a twist on the Southern Country Captain dish: Seared chicken thighs are then braised down into a bold sauce with smoky Benton bacon, two curry blends from Bollywood Theater, celery, bell pepper, onion, and currants. That’s going with a handmade heirloom benne seed tortilla and a dollop of cabbage slaw with quick-pickled currants, sumac-toasted pecans, and pickled red onion.

TEQUILA: Hell Froze Over—SLUSHY ALERT! Just about every Portland bar has a slushy machine these days—and we’re not mad about it. Bar Bar’s new frozen beverage maker will deliver frozen Hornitos Plata, Giffard Creme de Cassis, and lime and ginger beer for a tart, refreshing drink. Normally, Bar Bar only plans to run its slushy machine on Sundays, so order a few extra during this Saturday event.
