Boca Tacos y Tequila says it is accepting prepaid orders by February 7 for African lion tacos, which will be served from February 16, Fox News reported.
Owner Bryan Mazon says there are already a few reservations from curious customers.
According to the Arizona Daily Star, most of Boca’s exotic tacos range between 3 and 4 dollars. The lion tacos will cost 8.75 dollars apiece.
