Taqiza's Second Anniversary Fiesta

Overview

Get your dancing shoes and party outfits ready — Taqiza is throwing a massive two-day fiesta to celebrate its second anniversary. Make tracks to the vibrant Mexican restaurant at Bondi Beach across Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28 and tacos, tequila and all the live music your hips can boogie to will be waiting.

Line your stomach and spoil your taste buds with special Al Pastor birthday tacos made with pulled pork and pineapple — you can nab three for a cheeky tenner. Then, jump on board the free Mezcal tasting train, conducted by Vanguard's agave expert Kass Hill. From 3–6pm each day, Hill will guide you through tastings of rare varieties of Del Maguey Mezcal and Derrumbes Mezcal.

If those leave you wanting more agave goodness, Taqiza will also be serving mezcal flights for $20 between 12–9pm on both days, featuring tasting shots of wild agave, tobala, arroqueño and madrecuixe. Plus, Taqiza will be slinging half-priced margaritas made with the boutique tequila Ocho over the entire fiesta.

Round it all off with a good ol' jive as Colombian-born, Sydney-based DJ Señor Bolivar hits the decks on Saturday from 6.30–9.30pm, while Andro Martinez and Buddy Siolo from Gang of Brothers take the music reins on Sunday evening.

Taqiza's Second Anniversary Fiesta is free to attend, but bookings are strongly recommended. To nab a spot, visit the website.
