What started as a hilarious April Fools’ prank has turned into a sweet reality for Miami food lovers this weekend. Bodega Taqueria y Tequila teased a “Papi Churro” dessert taco on April 1, igniting a wave of excitement—and disappointment—among fans eager to taste the inventive treat. Now, just two months later, the joke is on the menu.

Florida’s bustling culinary scene took notice when enthusiastic followers flooded the restaurant’s social media with comments and DMs begging for the quirky dish. So much so, that Bodega decided to partner with Santo Dulce Churros & Ice Cream, Miami’s premier artisanal churro makers, to bring their viral creation to life.

The result? An authentic, handcrafted churro taco filled with innovative Latin-inspired flavors, available exclusively from June 6 through June 8 in celebration of National Churro Day.
