Weekly Taco Tour Themes
Carnitas, Birria, Al Pastor & More
Every Tuesday tour has a theme. Taste four tacos built around it, judge each one and crown a winner.
Overview
This Month's Themes
Every Red Machine taco tour has a theme, and Carnitas night is a favorite. If you have searched for a carnitas tour Kansas City style, this is it: four KCK taquerias, four takes on slow-cooked pork, one taco at each stop.
This month starts with Best of the Best on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. That lineup mixes carnitas, al pastor, asada and birria, so you taste a little of everything. One week later, on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the Carnitas tour Kansas City taco fans asked for rolls out.
Themes change week to week, so no two tours taste the same. Seats are $39.99 per rider, and every tour boards at 5:30 PM in the Hilton Garden Inn lobby in KCK.
What's Included
- Carnitas: slow-cooked, crispy-edged pork
- Al pastor: marinated pork, often with pineapple
- Asada: grilled, seasoned beef
- Birria: rich, slow-stewed meat with consomé for dipping
- Best of the Best: a mix of the favorites
How Taco Judging Works
At each stop you get one taco. Taste it, talk it over and give it your score. After four stops, the bus compares notes and picks the taco of the night. [CONFIRM: judging format, e.g. scorecards or a group vote]
There is no wrong answer. Some riders judge on the meat, some on the tortilla and some on the salsa. That is half the fun.
