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.
