This Suburb Offers A 'Tortilla Tour': Here's What You Need To Know

ST. CHARLES, IL – The St. Charles Business Alliance has made some updates to its self-guided “Tortilla Tour" on the free Travel St. Charles App.

To make the experience even more accessible and enjoyable, the required number of restaurant “check ins” needed to complete the tour and to win your exclusive bottle of hot sauce from Gindo’s has been lowered from six to three, according to St. Charles Business Alliance officials.

The adjustment is meant to make it easier for more people to participate, encourages more visitors to explore the amazing local Mexican restaurants and ensures everyone has a chance to earn a delicious prize from Gindo’s without needing to commit to as many stops, according to a news release.

St. Charles Business Alliance Executive Director Jenna Sawicki explains why the St. Charles Business Alliance decided to relaunch the Tortilla Tour.
