My friend, a senior editor of Restaurant Business, a trade publication, asked me to join her to sample IHOP’s new time-limited pancake tacos as she needed a videographer. That’s such a fancy word for me holding the camera as she ate and spoke.

We were pleasantly surprised.

These pancake tacos come in four variations—two sweet and two savory—with an order of three tacos of the same flavor is $6, served in a metal taco holder.

The Breakfast Pancake Taco comes filled with scrambled eggs, hickory-smoked bacon, a cheddar-Jack cheese blend and white cheese sauce. Salsa accompanies it. I sampled that one and found it acceptable for breakfast on the go.

Also available is a Country Chicken and Gravy Pancake Taco filled with crispy chicken, shredded hashbrowns and country gravy topped with pickles. We didn’t try that.

We did sample the Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Pancake Taco filled with sliced berries and cheesecake mousse sprinkled with chocolate chips. Also available is the Caramel Banana Pancake Taco, with the same cheesecake mousse drizzled with vanilla sauce and dulce de leche caramel sauce. Both sweet ones come garnished with chocolate chips.

Tacos are available only through July 30, 2023.
