Kansas City’s Yoli Tortilleria, winner of a 2023 James Beard Award, will serve tacos inside the KC Current soccer team’s new CPKC Stadium.

Several local restaurant vendors will feed fans inside the team’s Berkley Riverfront home — including Joe’s KC and Billie’s Grocery — when it opens in March.

KC Current posted on social media that it would announce a new food vendor weekly until Dec. 19.

Yoli, which has a tortilla shop at 1668 Jefferson St. #100 and sells its products in several stores, won the food industry’s most prestigious award in the Outstanding Bakery category.

On its menu: barbacoa de res and vegan mushroom tinga tacos, as well as totopos with salsa, nachos and quesadillas.
