The festival will be featuring 18 different taquerias cooking up our favorite tortilla wrapped delicacies. The fun starts at 2 in the afternoon and goes till 11 in the evening. It\u2019s at the Municipal Stadium across from the Sheraton. There will be a special guest Lady Tacos de Canasta. From Mexico City, the Taco Lady is legally named Francisco Marven. and even though on Social Media she is known as Lady Tacos de Canasta or Basket Taco Lady, she introduces herself as Marvin. She\u2019s 33 years old, wears a big smile has long black braids, rides a blue bicycle, drinks mezcal, and has a great time. I have a video of her in the shownotes, so if you go to the taco festival, make sure to look for Marvin.<\/p>\n<h3>Mexico Has Another Guinness World Record, Largest Taco<\/h3>\n<p>And speaking of tacos, a Guinness World Record was just set for the worlds largest carnitas Taco. From Mexico News Daily, Dateline..Queretero Mexico, dated November 11th,<br \/>\nThe state of Quer\u00e9taro earned the Guinness World Record for the world\u2019s biggest carnitas taco on Sunday.<br \/>\nStretching an entire city block, the enormous taco measured 102 meters long and weighed in at 1,200 kilograms of tortillas and 1,507 kilograms of seasoned pork meat.<br \/>\nThe organizer of the event, Alejandro Paredes Res\u00e9ndiz, said it began in 2011 when he made a promise to his uncle \u2014 head of the Quer\u00e9taro gastronomical council \u2014 that he would make the world\u2019s largest carnitas taco.<br \/>\nHe researched the most consumed food product in the state and found that it was carnitas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fYxXpensSW\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/guinness-confirms-102-meter-taco-is-worlds-largest\/\">Guinness confirms 102-meter taco is world&#8217;s largest<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#8220;Guinness confirms 102-meter taco is world&#8217;s largest&#8221; &#8212; Mexico News Daily\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/guinness-confirms-102-meter-taco-is-worlds-largest\/embed\/#?secret=fYxXpensSW\" data-secret=\"fYxXpensSW\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI recognize that there are other states in the country, like Michoac\u00e1n, where they make delicious carnitas, but here in Quer\u00e9taro there are seven different styles,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nHe said the Guinness organizing committee had declined five previous applications for the record, waiting until event organizers had fulfilled all the requirements necessary to qualify for a world record.<br \/>\n\u201cWe used certified workers with history in Quer\u00e9taro,\u201d said Res\u00e9ndiz. \u201cWe complied with all the regulations of the Guinness contract. All of the carnitas were made today, everyone had the proper equipment and, most importantly, we shared the food with all who attended.\u201d<br \/>\nThe event took eight months of planning, utilized local carnitas producers and gathered 15,000 people to witness the spectacle and then eat the results.<br \/>\nGuinness World Records does not award prize money, but Res\u00e9ndiz said any money earned as a result of the record will be donated.<br \/>\n\u201cIf we earn even one peso, it will be donated to the DIF family services center, because Quer\u00e9taro should be the best state in Latin America,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nFor Res\u00e9ndiz, the achievement was not only a world record, but also a personal best.<br \/>\n\u201cI broke my own record because the last taco I made was 75 meters long. It was registered, but not certified. I hope that all 15,000 people can eat. We began at six in the morning and we won\u2019t go home until the volunteers feed the visitors until the taco is gone,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nCarnitas are made by cooking the different parts of the pig in giant copper or stainless steel pots. The meat is traditionally seasoned with a mineral salt called tequesquite, but there are many different regional variations.<\/p>\n<h3>25th Annual International Gourmet Festival in Puerto Vallarta<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6627\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6627\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6627\" src=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2019-11-15_133429-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2019-11-15_133429-1024x539.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2019-11-15_133429-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2019-11-15_133429-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2019-11-15_133429-570x300.jpg 570w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2019-11-15_133429.jpg 1253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Festival Gourmet International Vallarta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 25th edition of the International Gourmet Festival will take place from Nov. 19-24, 2019 in Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and Tepic.<br \/>\nSome of the host restaurants of the Gourmet International Festival include Azafr\u00e1n Restaurante Bar, Barrio Bistro, Caf\u00e9 Des Artistes, Coco Tropical, El Dorado, Emiliano, Hector\u2019s Kitchen, Ic\u00fa, Maximilian Kaiser, La Terrazza di Rima, La Palapa, Le Kliff, River Caf\u00e9, Stars, Tr\u00edo, Tuna Blanca, Xiklo, Andrea, Azur, Bordeaux, Divum, Eugenia, Las Casitas, La Casona, La Corona, Lucdcca, Mozza Mare and Tukipa.<br \/>\nThe first International Gourmet Festival was held in 1995, the brainchild of renowned European chefs Thierry Blouet and Heinz Reize.
