My Taco, My Choice
October 21, 2025 05:00 PM until October 21, 2025 09:00 PM
On Taco Tuesday, October 21, 2025, SF restaurant and community hub Merkado will host My Taco, My Choice!, a Chef’s Taco Competition featuring female Bay Area chefs in support of women’s reproductive rights.
Bay Area taco enthusiasts are invited to celebrate women’s reproductive rights by joining the Merkado familia for a light-hearted taco competition with a serious message.
On October 21, 2025, up to 12 women chefs will interpret this beloved, bona fide US culinary immigrant by presenting one creative, original taco recipe for more than 200 dine-in guests.
The open-call for talented female “cheftestants” encourages inspiration and representation from as many cuisines and culinary cultures as possible. Their objective: to win hearts and score points for execution, appearance, taste, and originality–after all, it’s their taco and their choice!
More to come!
