Chilli Eating Contest

Thursday 16th May: Chilli Eating Contest At SoCal

Our highly anticipated chilli eating contest is running for its 7th consecutive year!

SoCal’s annual Taco & Tequila Fiesta is back and bigger than ever, with one of the highlight Cinco de Mayo events being our annual chilli eating contest.

From mild jalapeños to fiery Carolina Reapers, the spice levels are reaching new heights, and the flames are ready to be unleashed. Whether you’re a reigning champ, newbie, or secret fire dragon, we welcome everyone to register to compete! There are limited seats, so it’ll be based on first come, first served.

Earlier this year, we hosted an ‘All Stars’ contest, and 2-time consecutive winner Carlos was the last one to break a sweat, chowing down on a whopping combination of 5 Carolina Reapers and yellow habañeros, proving why he was deserving of the ultimate chilli champion title. Will you be the next winner to beat Carlos and take the crown?! 

If you’re keen to compete on Thursday, May 16th register your details below and we’ll be in touch to confirm your spot.

Spectators are invited to join us from 5pm – 6:30pm to enjoy Happy Hour, which includes $4 tacos and $15 Olmeca ALTOS spicy margaritas, and the show will start from 7pm. Make sure to make a booking early and secure a good viewing table!
