Korean taco

Korean tacos are a Korean-Mexican fusion dish popular in a number of urban areas in the United States and Canada.

Korean tacos originated in Los Angeles,[1] often as street food, consisting of Korean-style fillings, such as bulgogi and kimchi, placed on top of small traditional Mexican corn tortillas.

Although various restaurants have occasionally served dishes they called Korean tacos,[2] the popularity of the dish is generally traced to the use of Twitter by the proprietors of the Kogi Korean BBQ, a food truck in Los Angeles, California, to announce their schedule and itinerary.

[7] In San Francisco the dish was popularized in 2009 by Namu Restaurant's Happy Belly food cart in Golden Gate Park, later moving to a farmers market food stand at the San Francisco Ferry Building.

[9][10] In 2011, David Choi founded Seoul Taco as a food truck in St. Louis, and expanded the business to nine locations in Chicago and Missouri by 2023.
