Korean-Mexican fusion tacos & bowls with customizable fillings


























"A Mexico-Korea Mashup Inspired by the west coast craze, owner Mike Lenard created DC's first food truck devoted to the Korean BBQ taco. These "taKos" feature trademark seasoned meats including Korean-style buigogi beef, tangy chicken, or caramelized tofu all topped with fresh spicy kimchee or mild napa-romaine slaw, cool lime crème, Sriracha chili sauce, cilantro, and sesame seeds on top of warm corn tortillas. Missed the truck? TaKorean has a permanent storefront inside Union Market."

"The local chain discounted all bowls and tacos by 50 percent for Election Day orders placed online with the promo code “IVOTED.”" - Tierney Plumb

"I noted that TaKorean, the fast-casual Korean–Latin American eatery that completely closed during the pandemic, will reopen on Tuesday, June 16 (along with its Union Market location) and will offer a BYGO meal deal through Friday." - Tierney Plumb

"I drew a scene showing a customer in line at Takorean, a wistful snapshot of daily life that I rendered in bright colors against blue skies." - Adele Chapin

"Founded by Michael Lenard, TaKorean started as a food truck and now offers Korean-style tacos with fillings like bulgogi beef and bo ssam pork. Toppings include slaws, pickled daikon, and garden-fresh sauces." - Natalie Beauregard
