By now, food mash-ups are nothing new...

Remember the cronut?
And it takes something pretty special to get our attention. Like (*ahem*)...

👀 THE TACRO. 👀
Michelle Min
The monster taco + croissant hybrid debuted earlier this month at Vive La Tarte bakery in San Francisco, and retails for $12. (Pretty steep for a single tacro, but we hear a single order is pretty filling.)
It's a flaky croissant shell filled with your choice of three fillings: chile chicken with avocado, pulled pork, and barbecued jackfruit. And it looks GORGEOUS. 😍

Each tacro is topped with sliced radishes and chopped pickled onions, and comes with a green avocado salsa and a red salsa. And according to a Vive La Tarte spokesperson, "[We'll] likely add a few more flavors down the road, including a potential breakfast version."
The whole thing is made with a crunchier-than-average croissant shell that's begging to be bitten into.

It probably makes for a messy eating experience, but I'd take the hit for it.
I mean... just look at these things:

It legit looks deep-fried.

And for you taco purists, it's also available with just the fillings, AKA without the shell and fun.

It's essentially a deconstructed salad bowl. Meh.
