Romeo
King of heat and still undefeated in the truk't Jalapeño Contest. The man’s on fire.
That’s how we do it. See you next year, Stateline.
Beloit Taco Takedown is proud to support VetsRoll— an organization that provides veterans with meaningful trips to visit the memorials built in their honor in Washington, D.C. For every drink sold, $1 will be donated by Tito’s Handmade Vodka to VetsRoll — up to $5,000. Join us in raising a glass and giving back to those who served.
