A special event for vip ticket holders
THIS YEAR, TOP TACO IS TAKING THE VIP EXPERIENCE TO NEW HEIGHTS!
Warm up your palate with fresh tracks through the festival Grand Tasting, enjoying the line-less calm before the gates open and the party gets pulsing. From there, VIP passholders will step at their leisure through an exclusive entry to Mar y Tierra – an exquisite taste of land and sea designed as a private event within the event. Inside, eight of the region’s most creative and well-known chef personalities will be competing for your vote for the Best Surf and Turf Taco in Denver. The title is up for grabs and up to you!
Of course, these VIP-only culinary creations will be paired with wildly innovative cocktails from Patron and Diageo Spirits, ice-cold Estrella Jalisco beer, a bottomless array of Pepsi products, and surprises in every corner. You’ll also experience cooking demos from the masters themselves in an intimate setting and escape from the crowds in unique and comfortable lounge seating and cocktail areas.
It’s no wonder that Top Taco VIP is one of the most sought-after tickets of the summer, and with the introduction of Mar y Tierra, space will fill up quickly. Don’t miss out, secure your spot soon!

Plates by the
pound bbq
Growing up in Clarksville, TX , Chef Aaron Gonerway had a curiosity and enthusiasm to learn about what his Uncle Glen was barbecuing. The flavors and smells from the smoker attracted everyone to his house. You would hear blues blasting in the background, old stories of the glory days from some of his friends and slamming of dominoes on the tables. With a start out of his home kitchen to his Aurora restaurant location, Chef is quickly making a name for himself in Denver.
“I just wanna serve people good BBQ and I will never serve people anything that I wouldn’t eat. To me BBQ is more than throwing sauce on something, it’s labor, planning, preparation and you get what you put into it.”
