How to spot good korean tacos

  • The Korean taco was popularised in Los Angeles and pairs Korean grilled meat, usually bulgogi, spicy pork or short rib, with a corn tortilla.
  • Kimchi, sesame and a chili mayo stand in for salsa, so expect sweet and spicy rather than chile and lime.
  • Ask whether the meat is grilled to order. The better versions cook it on a flat-top instead of reheating a pan.
  • It is a fusion dish rather than a traditional one, and is best judged on its own terms.
