Korean Tacos Are Officially in the Zeitgeist

After a night of hardcore partying with narcotics and donkey shows, my friends and I went to Bar Basic on 4th and Brannan to find a bunch of people singing drunken karaoke in a non-ironic way. It was like we accidentally crashed a corporate party where the uncool employees were forced to have a fun.

But we weren’t there for the entertainment. We were there for Takorea (get it? Ta-KOREA — like Taqueria!), a fairly new Korean taco truck (check out their cool logo above!) that has been traveling around San Francisco — actually I think they just hang around the 4th and Brannan area.

My friends have been raving about a Korean taco truck they frequented while in L.A. There is one in San Jose, but when they found out about this one, they stalked it like an unhappy suburban middle aged man looking for a cheap hooker in a seedy part of a major metropolitan area.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had a vegetarian option and I inhaled that like a mo’ fo — and my mouth was on fire — in the best way possible.

Fast forward to today, and there’s a New York Times article about Korean tacos that has been circulating amongst the masses — which means one of two things: 1.) the delicacy is in the zeitgeist or 2.) it’s become mainstream and is no longer hip.

In any matter, the truck will be forever on my Twitter radar so that I can follow it (they need to start expanding their menu with shrimp tacos and they need to start serving lunch).

Nonetheless, I guess we can add another cool mobile eatery for yuppies and hipsters to the list.
