Questions Raised Over Cancelled Taco Museum Event In Texas

Many in the state of Texas, and the nation as whole, love the food known as tacos. When an event advertising them and the history of the food was revealed, many bought tickets to see it. However, it now seems people in the state have lost their money after buying tickets, with no way to get it back.

Where Did The Event Originally Take Place?

According to the Austin American-Statesman, some Texans may have seen ads promoting an event for the Taco Museum. There were multiple items offered from learning more about the food, exhibits about tacos, and an "all-you-can-eat taco bar." The first event took place in the state of California, and from all accounts, it did not please Californians.

Online reviews were less than positive, even going so far as to call it a scam for not delivering on certain promises. While the first showings weren't the best, it was still set to appear in Texas for these dates listed:

Austin - Feb. 15
San Antonio - Feb. 22
Fort Worth - March 1

But, these did not happen, leaving those who bought tickets both Taco-less and with less money.

Were The Events In Texas Even Planned To Happen?

The Austin American-Statesman reported many people reached out the news organization, revealing worries about it actually taking place. One attendee even told the Statesman that the did not know the event was not happening until the morning of cancellation. A portion of the cancellation email read as such, according to the Statesman:

"After careful deliberation, we’ve made the difficult decision to reschedule the event to March 8th. Please understand that we did not take this decision lightly. Given the short timing and the logistical challenges that arose, we felt this was the only viable option to ensure a smooth, safe, and enjoyable experience for all of our attendees."

But, that date also didn't have the event happen. In addition the other events in Texas failed to take place. Even worse, both MySanAntonio and The Dallas Observer found evidence the places where the Taco Museum was planned to be at wasn't even scheduled properly.

At the time of writing, the event's Facebook page hasn't been active since last year, and the website has disappeared. If more information is revealed, we will have will have it here.
