Jett Barbecue's Free Taco Giveaway Has Ended: What It Was

How the free taco drop worked

You went to the Jett Barbecue stall (Store 31) on Siloso Beach before 4pm. The kitchen smoked a fixed batch of 100 beef cheek tacos a day, and once they were gone they were gone. It opened on Thursday 23 July, then ran Friday to Sunday only until 16 August 2026. No purchase was required, you just had to turn up early. Stock was the hard limit.

What else was running at that GrillFest

The same stall ran our Drop #002, the Jett Solo Set with the dino rib and beef cheek slider that existed only through the drop, so plenty of people took the free taco as an appetiser and redeemed the set for the mains. Siloso Beach is a short walk or beach tram ride from Beach Station on the Sentosa Express. For the full line-up, the five zones and what everything cost, see our full Sentosa GrillFest 2026 guide.

FAQs

Is Jett Barbecue still giving out free tacos?

No. The giveaway was tied to Sentosa GrillFest 2026, which ran 23 July to 16 August 2026 and has finished. Nothing has been announced since.

What were the free tacos?

Smoked beef cheek tacos, 100 of them a day, one per person, free with no purchase required. They were handed out at Jett Barbecue's Store 31 stall on Siloso Beach, and you had to be there before 4pm.

Will it come back in 2027?

Sentosa has run GrillFest every year since 2017, so another edition is likely, but Sentosa has not announced 2027 dates and Jett Barbecue has not said whether the free tacos would return with it.
