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."

It's essentially a deconstructed salad bowl. Meh.
