If you like Atlantic City Wing Fest, you will love Atlantic City Mexican Madness, the inaugural throwdown of more than 15 South Jersey and Philadelphia-area restaurants competing for ultimate Mexican Food bragging rights.
Atlantic City Mexican Madness 2026
After 9 sold-out Wing Fests, we thought it was time to add another chapter to our Atlantic City Food Scene Legacy. Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, we present Atlantic City Mexican Madness, where great Mexican Food — tacos, nachos, burritos, churros and more — comes together with tequila, margaritas and live music for an unforgettable experience.
How it works
It seems no matter where you go, South Jersey is brimming with Mexican food, which means the demand for great Mexican food has never been stronger. We are assembling more than 15 of the premier Mexican spots to show why they offer the best Mexican cuisine in the area.
It all goes down noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 25, presented by Visit Atlantic City and 103.7 WMGM Rocks and Golden Nugget, and sponsored by Paris Produce. Sample unlimited tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, wings, churros and whatever else these Mexican restaurants want to show off from more than 15 South Jersey restaurants known for their Mexican food-slinging prowess, including Golden Nugget (Michael Patrick’s Brasserie, Dos Caminos and Chart House), Maya from Resorts, Essl’s Family Restaurant from West Atlantic City, 279 Social Kitchen & Craft Bar from Galloway, The Professional Chefs Association of South Jersey, King’s Pub in Atlantic City, Casa Taco & Tequila Bar at Tropicana Atlantic City, Miss Connie’s FIre-Roasted Street Corn, Careme’s at the Academy of Culinary Arts in Mays Landing, Mexico Restaurant & Bar in Atlantic City, Angeloni’s Club Madrid in Atlantic City, Jvs Mexican Restaurant in Atlantic City, Na’Cho Taco in Margateand many more, including the debut of Inky’s Taqueria and Bar, a brand-new restaurant that will open this summer in Marmora.
Must be 21 years old or older to attend.
The all-you-can-eat Mexican food festival will allow you to go around to all of the restaurants until you decide — by vote — which Mexican food is your favorite. You will also be able to judge which salsa is our favorite as you eat unlimited homemade tortilla chips from Dos Caminos paired with salsas from every restaurant. We will also have some professionals to judge blindly, as well, and the Fat Boy Munch Club will be on hand to offer specialty awards.
Golden Nugget Atlantic City, which will host the event in its Grand Ballroom, will offer a cash bar featuring specialty margaritas, tequila, great craft beers and specialty cocktails for purchase, plus live music by Twisted Livin’, one of the area’s premier up-and-coming rock bands, and mariachi music.
Expect some surprises along the way to make things fun!
