Mazon says his restaurant started offering exotic tacos on its menu every Wednesday about six months ago and has tried "just about
anything we can get our hands on."
According to the US Food and Drug Administration, lion and other game meat can be sold as long as the species isn't endangered.
The Arizona Daily Star says most of Boca's exotic tacos range between $US3 ($A3.00) and $US4 ($A4.01). The lion tacos will cost
$US8.75 ($A8.76) apiece.
