REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS CLOSED DUE TO CAPACITY!

There is no place like Fresno, CA. There is no fiesta like Taco Truck Throwdown. And there is no contest like The Fresno Tacos World Taco-Eating Championship. These truths we hold self-evident. Major League Eating is proud to announce the return of this legendary championship to our 2019 slate of sanctioned eating events. MLE members form near and far are warmly encouraged to sign up for the chance to compete.

At last year’s Championship, Geoff Esper downed a delicious 73 tacos in eight minutes to take the title; Matt Stonie would eat 65 for second place while others ate less and did so with grace and style.

Do you like tacos? (And if not, why not?) Do you dare challenge the greatest eaters in the world? Do you simply want to watch the best in the business do what they do so well? This is The Fresno Tacos World Taco-Eating Championship! At the table or in the crowd—don't you ever miss it!
