Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico - On December 6, from 4-8 pm, the Marina Nuevo Vallarta Malecón will be the location of the 2nd edition of the "Taste of Nuevo Vallarta and 14th Annual Chili Cook-off," hosted by the Vallarta Yacht Club.

Last year, over 400 people attended to sample the wonderful sample dishes provided by the participating restaurants and also taste the fantastic chili made by professional and non-professional contributors.

Attendees may purchase sample tickets for $10 pesos. Each ticket will allow a "sample" of chili or any of the other type of food offered. Attendees may also use tickets to purchase bottled water, soda, beer, wine and Margaritas. Music will be provided.

Net proceeds will all go to charity, evenly split between Families at the Dump and the Puerto Vallarta Navy League.

Parking will be available at Marina Nuevo Vallarta and water taxis will be available from the Vallarta Yacht Club and Paradise Village.

Exhibitors are encouraged to sign up now. Last year we had over 40 booths, we hope to have more this year. One of our most popular non-chili booths was Mr. Cream restaurant featuring a sample of waffle with strawberries and whip cream - they are already on board again for this year.

This is one of the first opportunities of the season to expose your restaurant to hundreds of tourist and local residents.
