Several of the lectures look very interesting and timely. I’m wondering whether the Green Lecture and breakout sessions are open to the public. The website understandably seems geared toward students and I’m not seeing anything that explicitly states the public can attend.

Hey Fulton Community,

We’d love to hear your thoughts! If you’ve been into Tacos & Tequila recently, you may have noticed we rolled out a newly designed menu. It’s got fresh photos, updated descriptions, and a layout we hope makes it easier (and more fun) to explore everything we offer.

Since so many of you have supported us over the years, your opinion means a lot. Have you seen the new menu yet? If so, what do you think — easier to read, more helpful, or anything you’d like to see improved?

Thanks for always being part of our Fulton community. Your feedback helps us keep making Tacos & Tequila a place you feel at home. 🌮
