I was so psyched that my dear friends Jennifer & Travis Davidson and their friends Mary Ann & Keith Cucuzza (photo on right) had opened an amazing new taco stand in Ybor City called the Flaming Taco that I wrote them up as a Neighborhood Nibbles item in our September New Tampa issue.
But, the following for the Flaming Taco (which was located inside the Yo Boys yogurt shop, a little more than a block from the Columbia Restaurant), grew so big so quickly that the young entrepreneurs already knew the small space inside a not-really compatible business wouldn’t last long.
So, while the Flaming Taco might now be closed, The Flaming Taco Catering Company is already taking big orders for homemade, unique recipe tacos and other delicious Southwestern Tex-Mex favorites you don’t even know are your favorites yet.
As soon as standing outside on 7th Ave. on weekends between midnight-3 a.m. took off, it wasn’t long before Travis, Jen, Mary Ann and Keith recognized that there was more that they could do.
Travis (still the group’s creative force in the kitchen) says, in addition to my already-favorite spicy El Cubano beef brisket taco and the six other items on the Flaming Taco’s menu (including the unique bacon guac-adilla), he also already is creating catering orders featuring his new, all-natural chorizo sausage tortas (Mexican sandwiches, served on an incredible egg club roll), topped with roasted poblano peppers and onions, steak-on-a-stick and a few other unique items.
