Federal Palace Resort’s Taco Thursdays pairs freshly prepared tacos with drinks and music for a weekly dining event in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The resort promotes the evening as an after-work gathering for friends, colleagues and couples, with Latin American-inspired fillings, toppings and accompaniments.

What’s on the menu

The supplied event details describe a taco station where chefs prepare tacos in front of diners. Filling options include shredded beef, seasoned chicken and seafood, served with toppings, fresh lime, pico de gallo and guacamole.

Pico de gallo is a chopped tomato salsa, while guacamole is an avocado-based accompaniment. Together, they offer different textures and flavours alongside the taco fillings.

A separate sangria and margarita station forms part of the drinks offering. The event also advertises a buy-one-get-one-free happy-hour deal, although diners should check which drinks qualify and when the offer applies.

An evening out

Taco Thursdays brings food preparation into the dining space, allowing guests to watch their tacos being assembled. Latin music accompanies the evening, which centres on eating, drinking and spending time together.

The format offers an alternative to a conventional sit-down dinner, with tacos and drinks as the main attraction. Guests planning a group outing should ask about seating arrangements and whether advance reservations are required.

Beyond the taco station

Federal Palace also houses Explorers Restaurant and Ancestors Spirits and Wine Bar. Its wider facilities include a pool, aquapark and casino. Check access arrangements for these facilities separately when planning a visit.
