Our Taco Spotlight: The Rio Gold!

Mondo Taco
Feb 25, 2017 · 2 min read

At Mondo Taco, we are always searching for new flavors and creating new tacos inspired by cuisines from across the globe. Because our menu changes with the addition of each new international taco, the goal of our “Taco of the Month” is to highlight both our new and old taco stars. We hope you are inspired to try each and every featured taco (and branch out from your menu favorites)!

Without further ado, for this month, the winner is… the Rio Gold!

Inspiration Of the Taco

A taco of Olympic proportions, the Brazilian-style Rio Gold is inspired by the 2016 Summer Olympics and our eternal quest to present you with an expansive mixture of global flavors served on our signature homemade tortillas.

Ingredients

Brazilian dry rub, seasoned grilled pork, jalapeño pepita salsa, red onions, and cilantro

Why We Love The Rio Gold

The deliciously complex Rio Gold is a flavor knockout — savory with a Brazilian dry rub grilled pork, spicy and nutty with a jalapeño pepita (psst, that’s pumpkin seeds) salsa, and powerfully contrasted with red onions and cilantro. All this on a homemade tortilla, the Rio Gold is the Usain Bolt of tacos.

There’s no doubt about it — the Rio Gold wins the gold medal in flavor. Head to Mondo Taco without delay to try this exclusive taco.

We have 30+ internationally-inspired tacos for you to try! Vegan or vegetarian — we have plenty of impressive options. Gluten-intolerant — we have you covered with our cabbage leaf wrapped “dino-style” tacos. If your appetite can’t be satiated by just a taco, make sure you try your favorites in the wrap or bowl form. Another great way to satiate that hunger: devour several different Mondo tacos for a global dinner.
