Chef Johnny Hernandez will represent the city of San Antonio in a breakfast taco cooking competition versus a yet-to-be-named Austin chef. The competition will be judged by a panel of culinary media representatives including Food & Wine Magazine. This battle came to be as a result of the recent social media “taco war” which pitted citizens of Austin and San Antonio against each other in a viral argument about which city can lay claim to being the true “Home of the Breakfast Taco.”
The event is free and open to all SXSW attendees. Tacos and coffee will be served. Space is limited so admission will be first-come-first-serve.
Breakfast tacos will also be served free to SXSW attendees at Casa San Antonio on Saturday, March 12th, and Sunday, March 13th.

Central Health, Austin and Travis County’s public health care entity, is redeveloping the Brackenridge Campus—14.2 acres of prime downtown Austin real estate across from the new Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas.
Austin is re-imagining what this innovative new development could look like and we’d love your caffeine- and taco-fueled creative brain power to help us see the future. From a public market to health- and wellness-related spaces and places, there’s no limit to what this power block could become in the heart of Austin’s new Innovation Zone. Heck – it could feature a healthy breakfast-taco stand. Come dream with us.
