Takorean - Korean Bbq Tacos

Stopped by on a very busy Saturday afternoon (Dec 23) and Edwin gave great advice and customer service. He suggested I get the three taco combo. Be sure and ask the server for TaKorean's flavor picks! They've got killer combos ready. I savored three soft corn tacos, each loaded with different meat + slaw options. Topped 'em off with lime crema, Korean-style salsa roja, and sesame seeds. My fav was the pork and kale slaw. All three were delicious, but that one was my top choice. The flavors were very distinct. Next time we go to Union Market I’ll encourage the family to try it. We will be back.

I didn't know what to get, so I asked what their recommendation was. The shop attendant suggested getting the tacos with the three protein options (chicken, pork, steak), three different slaws, and all topped with gochu-pow sauce, lime crema, cilantro, and crunchy shallots. I think I liked the pork the best. It was overall delicious. I also got a mexi-coke.

TaKorean is a great addition to union market. When I lived in the DMV it was a regular post work stop with colleagues and friends, and when I visit the area Union Market and TaKorean are one of the first places I return to eat. It's easy to cook up Korean meats and slap them in a tortilla, but TaKorean takes it further. The banchan toppings, the sauces and the marinades on the meats light up my life. I love the variation you can get in spice level here. TaKorean is a great sport for a casual date, happy hour with friends, or a weekend adventure with the family.

My favorite was the steak with the Goju-Pow sauce. Just a tad spicy, with good flavor. Had the chicken and the pork but steak was for sure the best one. Give it a 4 for the fusion and flavor of the steak. Heating the tortillas up on a pan and giving them a more crisp texture would have up’d it to an 5.
