Messina Eats x Ricos Tacos

Overview

While Messina's main jam is crafting supremely scoffable varieties of gelato, the brand's love of food extends far beyond the freezer. Back before the pandemic, the cult gelateria would team up with a savoury-focused culinary hero every couple of months, then throw a big ol' food party in the car park at its Rosebery headquarters to celebrate the collaboration.

For the next edition of the series, the Messina team is teaming up with an old Rosebery favourite, Ricos Tacos, who will be returning to its old stomping ground outside of Messina HQ for a two-night pop-up.

Ricos used to call the Rosebery car park home, before setting up a permanent brick-and-mortar restaurant in Chippendale. Taco King Toby Wilson and co will be serving up their fan favourite tacos and hash browns on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23, with some top-notch desserts.

The tacos come in sets of two with fried fish, beef, mixed mushroom and pork carnitas varieties on offer. The beef and mushroom sets are birria tacos, so you'll score a hot beef or mushroom consomé for dipping on the side.

Finishing things up are hot fried churros paired with salted dulce de leche or Messina hot chocolate with a toasted cinnamon marshmallow.

The pop-up will open from midday each day and stay open until late.
