THE RESULTS ARE IN! 🏆

The 9th Annual Modesto Taco Fest was one for the books! This year proved once again why our community is the taco capital of the Central Valley. After counting the votes, the people have officially spoken. It’s time to celebrate the flavor makers who made this year unforgettable.

Give it up for the winners of BEST OF THE FEST! 🌮

🥇 Winner: - It was their first time joining Taco Fest, but Modesto OGs Jessica’s brought the heat and the flavor, proving exactly why they are a local staple and earning the top spot for 2026.

🥈 Honorable Mention: - A massive shoutout to the crew at Casa de Mac! Last year’s reigning champions put up an incredible showing once again, keeping the crowds fed and happy all day long.
