A Fort Myers brewery is about to turn up the heat this weekend with the Mexican Food Throwdown, an all-day celebration of Mexican flavors and local talent. Millennial Brewing Company will host the event on Saturday, May 2, from noon to 8 p.m., giving food lovers a chance to dig into Mexican-inspired dishes, catch some live music, and vote for their favorites.
Eight different food trucks will set up shop outside the brewery, each serving its own spin on Mexican classics. Tasting portions go for $5 or less, making it easy to try a bit of everything. Attendees get to cast their votes for best taco and best Mexican dish, with the winners crowned at the end of the day.
This year’s lineup includes La Trailita Mexican Food, Tacos Los Campeones, Lakota by Chef Court, Danny’s Tacos, Yo Samaras, Umami Twist, Mr. Bulgogi, Tiny Bites Good Eats, and Lil Stack Shack. Millennial Brewing CEO Kyle Cebull sees the Throwdown as more than just a food fest. “This event is all about bringing people together — food, culture, experience. Whether you’re after authentic tacos or something with a twist, you’ll find it here,” Cebull said. “Every bite counts.”
Along with the food, the day features live music: a mariachi band takes the stage from 3 to 4 p.m., followed by The Riverside Band from 4 to 7 p.m. The brewery will pour its own beers, along with plenty of nonalcoholic options.
The best part? Admission’s free, and the event welcomes all ages.
