NEW YORK, NY (April 25, 2012) – Today, Dos Equis, the fastest growing premium Mexican beer in the U.S., is bringing its daring culinary Cinco de Mayo ‘Feast of the Brave’ taco trucks to six US cities. From Wednesday, April 25 through Saturday, May 5, the bold can visit Dos Equis-branded food trucks to taste some unique and original tacos and delicacies.
“The Dos Equis consumer is always looking for experiences that are a bit more unconventional and interesting,” said Paul Smailes, Dos Equis Senior Brand Director. “To mark this year’s special 150th anniversary of Cinco de Mayo, we wanted to partner with some great local chefs and provide consumers the opportunity to test their taste-bud boundaries, and have a memorable Cinco de Mayo experience”.
