And you thought the American regional taco stylesΒ were limited toΒ Southwestern crunchy beef,Β Carolina pulled pork and whatever passes for tacos over in New York City.Β Well here'sΒ another one forΒ yourΒ list! Italian beef tacos, done Chicago style with sweet hot peppers and pickled giardiniera mix.
Only in Tucson, at the OG deep dish pizza spot Rocco's LittleΒ Chicago Pizzeria. During happy hour 5-9 p.m. Mondays,Β Tuesdays and Thursdays, they serve up a plate of Rocco's Tacos with curly strips of slow-cookedΒ roast beef on grill-marked flour tortillas.Β There was no salsa provided, so I dipped my taco in the blue cheese left over from the Nug Muncher fried combo basket with the chicken dinosaurs and the cheese ravioli. Yum!
Weird fact: Rocco's owner Anthony RoccoΒ DiGrazia is a seasonedΒ musician who once played in theΒ Tucson grunge band Beyond 7.Β Check out the commercial jingles he wrote on Rocco's website, including the gem "Inagoddadapizza."
