    • The UK’s first official tortilla slap championship will be hosted by Market Place and Streat Latin

    • Winner takes home a year’s supply of tacos and margaritas in London’s most bizarre new food fight

    • Spectators can enjoy free tacos and margaritas alongside live performances of mariachi music and Lucha Libre wrestling

    From viral TikTok trend to high-stakes championship, witness history in the making as the UK’s first-ever official Tortilla Slap Championship launches at Market Place Vauxhall.

    Taking place on 9th November, 32 brave competitors will battle it out for the coveted title of the UK’s first tortilla-slapping champion, with the ultimate winner securing a mouth-watering grand prize: a year’s supply of tacos and margaritas courtesy of Market Place and Streat Latin.

    Developed by Market Place and Streat Latin to celebrate the street food vendor’s arrival at the popular street food market, the official championship turns the social media sensation into a proper sporting spectacle, complete with professional wrestling displays, mariachi entertainment, and free tacos and margaritas for spectators.

    Tortilla Slapping, which has racked up millions of views on TikTok, sees competitors face each other with water-filled mouths and tortillas in hand. The goal? Make your opponent spray their water through laughter from the sheer force of your tortilla strike.

    Market Place and Streat Latin have developed an official scoring system based on four essential criteria: the satisfying sound of the tortilla slap, the impressive distance of the water spray, tortilla tearing, and your opponent’s reaction to the slap.

    Instagram foodie sensation @fat_boi_ldn will host the hour-long tournament, which will kick off with a spectacular Lucha Libre match; the famed Mexican take on wrestling featuring spectacular masked warriors in a display of theatrical combat.

    As competitors clash to claim the title of the UK’s best tortilla slapper, a lively mariachi band will set the stage with an electrifying mix of traditional favourites and modern Mexican hits, turning the night into an unforgettable fiesta!

    Ready to get your slap on? Aspiring champions need only follow Market Place and Streat Latin’s Instagram channels, then like and comment who they want to battle with on this post.

    Holly Hilton, Marketing Director at Market Place, said: “This event perfectly encapsulates Market Place’s commitment to pushing culinary boundaries while creating unforgettable experiences and highlighting different cuisines from around the world. 

    “This isn’t just about watching people slap each other with tortillas – though that’s obviously brilliant. We’re creating a full-on Mexican fiesta to welcome Streat Latin to Market Place. Think wrestling, mariachi, free tacos, and probably the most ridiculous competition London’s ever seen.”

    Andres De La Mora, founder of Streat Latin, said: “From luchadores to mariachi bands, Latin American culture is all about being playful and having fun. Hosting the UK’s first-ever tortilla slap tournament showcases everything we and our food are all about; bringing people together, creating unforgettable moments, and serving up authentic Latin flavours with a side of entertainment. What better way to introduce ourselves to Vauxhall than with London’s most outrageous food fight?”

    When: Saturday 9th November from 16:00 – 17:00

    Where: Market Place Vauxhall, 7 S Lambeth Pl, London SW8 1SP
