I came here with my students on a field trip--the owner generously donated meals for our kids. But I wouldn't have written the review if the food wasn't as amazing as it was. It's a Mexican/Korean fusion that works better than I ever would have expected. I had a chicken burrito, and the flavors were great. The kimchi fried rice had a nice kick to it, and everyone raved about the food and service. I'm really happy to find a new lunch spot in the neighborhood. As a bonus, ownership clearly feels invested in their community. The owner talked with our kids for a long time about his experience in school, and then took us down the street for ice cream. Great food and better people. Thanks so much, I'll be in again soon!
I ordered the bulgogi burrito and kimchi fries and was very disappointed with both. The rice in the burrito was dry and flavorless while the only flavor that came through was the overpowering taste of soy sauce from the beef. The food is overpriced for the quality of food they sell.
This place is out of this world.We ordered every single taco option as you can see and all of them did not disappoint. This is truly a rare gem of a place.The creative options and wonderful combination of two cultures is a match made in heaven at this joint. My favorite is the carinta taco.Also, by far hands down. This place has my favorite kimchi fries and I've had an abundance of them including in Korea.I was fortunate to meet the owner Rob, who I was able to praise and hopefully cater my wedding in the future.
Bangalangin! This place is really tasty. I popped in waking by, it’s very small, not much seating. Very quickly I was greeted, ordered, and got my to go Burrito within 5 minutes. I’ve traveled quite a bit, Burritos are a go to for me, and this one is prob my favorite outside of SF or LA. Very good, quick, and good vibe. Def coming back!
Love love love this place. Finally tried it for the first time recently and I wish I'd discovered it sooner. It's a small place but there are a few places to eat in. Tried the tacos, rice bowl and the burrito and everything was amazing.Shout out to the owner (Robert) for amazing customer service but also for everything he does to help the community.
My favorite spot in the city! Try the shrimp tacos and Bulgogi Beef. It’s outta this world!!
This restaurant has literally been on my “Want to try list” for a few years. Finally made my way there. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The food came out quick and fresh. Those Bulgogi nachos are out of this world, crispy and fresh tortilla chips, Very obvious tell they had just been prepared. The Bulgogi beef was nicely marinated, not overpowering. THE SWEET CHILI FRIED SHRIMP TACOS!!! Outstanding, I am drooling writing this review just thinking about those. Also this restaurant has a love fridge and pantry for the community, makes me want to support them even more. Already planning my next visit. See you guys soon!
Amazing food, must eat in West Town. The steak is high quality and cooked correctly. Kimchi fries are great as the flavor wasn't over powering.
Amazing food at a great price! Everything from the tacos, to the perfectly fried chicken and shrimp and flavorful sauces truly hit the spot. Even my picky kids were loving the food. The icing on the cake is the owner Robert is an all around mensch--just Google his name to see how much this guy does for the community. Bottom line: you can't go wrong with Takorea Cocina!
Excellent food at reasonable prices.
