 |
|
Two years ago, one of the most-cited signs of a Korean food craze in the United States was the success of Kogi BBQ, a restaurant on wheels in Los Angeles that sold Korean-style barbecue in Mexican-style tacos from trucks that sent their location out via Twitter.
Now, the Kogi concept has ricocheted to Seoul.
In an alley just off Garosoo-gil, the tree-lined street in Gangnam that has taken over from Apgujeong as the coolest place to be seen on weekends, is the three-month-old Grill5taco restaurant that has created its own version of Kogi�s fusion of Korean and Mexican foods.

Ugh. Their truck last summer was great. I went there right after they opened and it was AWful.
Maybe they've ironed out the kinks, though? If anybody's been there lately, let me know. I'm scared to go back.... |

So I went. I'll say this, if you want "real" Mexican, this is not your place. They have kimchi quesadilla and galbi rice bowls.
However, if you want to try something a little different, by all means go. I really liked it. |
