Winos and Tacos

321 North Columbia Street

Covington, LA

Winos and Tacos is a relatively new tequila, taqueria, and wine bar in Covington, Louisiana, right in the charming, artsy heart of the city.  Covington is an older city, founded back in 1813, which predates the Faubourg Marigny for you NOLA aficionados, and the city center is an eclectic mix of art galleries, restaurants, boutiques, and specialty shops, amongst which Winos and Tacos has sprung up.

Covington has been taking steps in recent years to refurbish what locals refer to as old Covington in an effort to reinvigorate this historic Northshore neighborhood and turn it into a cultural hotspot similar to the French Quarter.  While old Covington will never be the French Quarter, the city's efforts have met with great success, and today old Covington is one of the more interesting neighborhoods on the Northshore.

Old Covington is home to the Heiner Brau microbrewery, a slew of antique shops and art galleries, and some of my favorite restaurants on the Northshore including Toad Hollow Cafe and Lola.  

We recently went over to Winos and Tacos during one of Covington's monthly block parties and really enjoyed ourselves.  We also discovered that the restaurant has a back patio area that is absolutely perfect for the crawfish boil.  Needless to say, we are very excited about being able to do the crawfish boil at Winos and Tacos this year, and I think it will be one of the best boils yet!

In addition to live boiled crawfish and all the fixin's, we are going to have a full open bar and Winos and Tacos will be preparing a menu of some of its fantastic tacos and small plates that will be prepared for y'all by the chef on demand, right on the spot.

Stay tuned to the blog over the next month or so as we will be posting updates about the event.  We are in the process of booking the bands now, and we'll let you know as soon as we make our final decisions about the lineup.
