00:00 Chef Mico Calo is known for her solid grasp of classic French culinary artistry.
00:05 But how would she take on the more casual Mexican dishes that is tacos?
00:09 You'll find the answer at Taqueria Franco which opens today, September 14, in Salcedo Village, Makati.
00:15 Pro tip, find the bulldog sign and you're good to go.
00:18 Pick up a drink or two from the bar, like the Franco 75 with tequila and truffle,
00:22 or the fruitier Lucky Peche with peach, tequila, and calvados.
00:26 But you're here for their tacos, which are unique to say the least.
00:29 They use a nutty-tasting buckwheat tortilla inspired by French galettes,
00:32 and it goes great with all their fillings and toppings.
00:35 There's the foie gras taco, the breaded oysters taco with the tartar sauce and pickled veg,
00:40 prawn tacos with ruizl and avocado, sautéed mushrooms with the cilantro-parsley pistou,
00:45 and puley roti with French roast chicken.
00:47 The duck confit taco is a standout with carrot sultana relish giving it balance.
00:52 You'll even find steak frites in taco form, and their take on birria tacos with a lamb bouguignon filling.
00:58 Like it crispier? Go for the tostadas.
01:00 The Eggs Benedict Tostada has the most perfect runny yolk,
01:03 while the Octopus Tostada has a more vibrant piquant profile.
01:07 And the Eggs and Caviar Tostada is the lovechild of caviar pie and blini.
01:11 Love cordon bleu or raclette cheese? You'll find those stuffed into quesadillas here.
01:15 Get the Le Bon Junk on the side too.
