In celebration of their fourth anniversary (and a recent article in Playboy that named the spot among American’s top tequila lounges), Tres Agaves will be throwing a party on Sunday, October 25, beginning at 8 p.m.. Expect food specials, a DJ, and plenty of tequila.

To fuel yourself for the tequila-soaked Tres Agaves party (see above), spend the day biking around Fruitvale on a taco truck adventure with Cyrus Farivar (a taco-obsessed tech journalist). The tour begins at 12:30 and will conclude, five trucks later, around 3 p.m. Bring your helmet, taco bucks and spirit of adventure. For more information, click here.
