Arte Agave made a pit stop in Austin, Texas on September 20, and leisure enthusiasts everywhere were able to indulge in tequilas, mezcal, and local Mexican cuisine.
The tequila and mezcal festival dazzled guests with a variety of brands like Alma del Jaguar Tequila, Bruxo Mezcal and Corralejo Tequila. Guests indulged in mini doughnuts from Doughnut NV, quesabirria tacos from Taconmaye Mexican Food Truck and Al Pastor street tacos from Taco Man 512. You could say it was a feast in both culinary and liquid form.
To continue the block party vibe, Fiero Tequila set up its own food truck, so guests could enjoy some of its spicy tequilas with their dinner.
Illegal Mezcal offered guests permanent souvenirs to remember the fun-filled evening and set up a tattooing station offering flash designs.
