Not Not Tacos

San Diego-based television cooking personality "Sam the Cooking Guy" is the mastermind behind this spot in Little Italy that embraces the taco in an entirely new way. His concoctions include ingredients not typically found in tacos, like meatloaf, salmon and pastrami -- "not, not tacos," he says.

In honor of National Taco Day, Not Not Tacos is adding a new menu item for one day only. The Hot Dog Taco uses NYC hot dog-cart style onions and a simmered hot dog with crispy onions on a flour tortilla.
