Sabroso Craft Beer, Taco & Music Festival powered by Gringo Bandito expanded its flagship Southern California event to two days (April 6 & 7) in 2019, and the 6^th annual festival brought 20,000 fans to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, CA for a weekend of craft beer sampling, gourmet tacos, Lucha Libre style wrestling, and music from The Offspring, Flogging Molly, Bad Religion, Descendents, Black Flag, Face To Face and more.

Multiple world record holder Takeru Kobayashi proved himself as the reigning champion, successfully defending his Gringo Bandito Chronic Tacos Eating Championship title yet again on Sunday, despite stiff competition from Molly Schuyler. Kobayashi devoured 157 tacos in 10 minutes – just shy of his 2017 world record-setting total of 159 – to earn his 9^th consecutive championship, edging out Schuyler, who set a personal best, downing 146 tacos. The record was made official, and documented by Corey Henderson, CEO of RecordSetter.com, the new authority for world records.

Sabroso attendees got in on the taco eating action as well, enjoying tacos from a variety of Southern California’s best vendors, including the Sabroso Best Of Show taco from Pink Taco (poached octopus taco with chorizo, potatoes, onion, and peppers) and runners up from Fiesta Gourmet (fried beer battered shrimp taco over a bed of pickled cabbage, topped with two salsas) and Sol Agave (slow-roasted pork belly taco with tomato mint slaw and fresh pineapple). Attendees also had a chance to sample (and top their tacos) with all flavors of  Gringo Bandito – Dexter Holland of The Offspring’s award-winning hot sauce – including the debut of the new Spicy Yellow sauce, the 4th in a lineup that also includes green, red and super hot.

Attendees 21+ complemented their tacos with complimentary samples of over 150 craft beers each day until 4pm, from world-renowned Russian River Brewing to local favorites including Artifex Brewing Company, Burgeon Beer Co., Wild Barrel, and more, to exciting newcomers like The Shop Beer Co. and Papa Marce’s Cerveceria.

The full music lineup for Sabroso at Doheny State Beach included Flogging Molly, Bad Religion, Lagwagon, Strung Out, The Suicide Machines, Adolescents and D.I. on Saturday and The Offspring, Descendents, Black Flag, Face To Face, Plague Vendor, Red City Radio and Orange Blossom Special on Sunday. In addition, fans were entertained throughout the weekend by Lucha Libre style wrestling matches with renowned luchadors including Cesar Gonzalez (Silver King) — widely known for his role as Ramses, the villain wrestling champion in the film Nacho Libre (starring Jack Black) – who returned to Sabroso to reclaim his title as of “King Of The Ring.”
