Dude studied tacos in 15 Mexican cities before opening a taqueria in Korea

I used to think I love tacos until I stumbled across this little takaria over here that made me think that I don’t actually love tacos I’m have to downgrade that to like because this guy the guy who owns this place loves tacos I’m telling you what when you go to the

Delivery page for this place he has a little about section and let me read you a couple blurbs here he starts off with a Sizzlin hot question of how long are you going to eat tacos that are not tacos dude lives on tacos and dies on tacos he went to Mexico twice eight

Different states 15 different cities just to research tacos so we could come back here and start a takaria of his own he is so crazy about tacos that his nickname is an Taco an is his family name so his nickname is basically just Taco he says his carnas are made the

Local way in michaan Mexico so they’re very different from the tacos commonly eatting in Korea so they may be difficult to eat for those new to Tacos I’m not new to Tacos I’ve had tacos in Mexico before anyway pretty small menu actually extremely small only four

Different types of tacos and I got all four of them they have two different sides we have some homemade chips and we also have some chichiron and we got a Coke over here all this costs $26 so a little bit Hefty I’m not as interested in these

Sides to be honest with you also included were two little things of guac some kind of Pico Deo here and two other kinds of sauces that I don’t know what they are but again don’t really care about those I’m mostly focus on the tacos you probably can’t really see that

Much of what’s going on here but the one over here is suadero AKA beef next we have Carnitas which is pork and then we have kamaron which is shrimp and then we have the pescao which is fish over here and I’ll give you a better look at those

Individually right now I guess so let me just start off with I’m going to start off with the shrimp it’s probably the one that I’m least knowledgeable about to be honest with you it’s very delicate here these are packed to the BM wow so we got what looks like a

Homemade tortilla and here is the shrimp on the bottom this can get a little bit fiddly here because it’s just so packed but we have we got cilantro we got I don’t know there’s a whole damn slur on this thing which usually I don’t know when I had tacos in Mexico I found

This like lowkey spot and it was just straight up like onions and cilantro have to let me know if this is authentic or not but it’s like a whole damn like klaa looking thing on top also got a lime wedge try out man you can definitely taste right off the bat the

TLC and some of the authenticness and the the tortilla really stands out right off the bat um tastes Super Fresh hand pressed you know what I’m saying um the flavors of that corn are coming through strong the shrimp itself if it were up to me I would have put like double the

Shrimp and like half the the little slurry SLO on top that’s just my style but you can definitely taste that shrim flavor coming through it’s cooked nice it’s breaded and fried tasty um and then you’re getting a lot of that SLO again which not really sure what to think

About all like carrots is that is that authentic man carrots I would call this delicious it tastes super clean and fresh and light but also delicious very tasty again I’m just thinking I’m just wondering man could you have doubled up on the shrimp there um are carrots even

A legal play in this situation I don’t I don’t know let me try some of these sides first homemade nachos or chips just a little pallet cleanser that’s good walk that’s good this that’s [Applause] good last but not least this yeah all good zero questions about any

Of this stuff down here try chea r as well I never knew I like these as much as I do so good these ones are super Airy and light and crispy I don’t even know how you make them this light and Airy super Crispy Crunchy delicious moving on fish looking kind of similar

Bigger piece of fish though and it’s actually looking like two pieces of fish this one appears to have like similar kind of veg mixture on top maybe with some added pineapples I believe that’s what I’m seeing back here going in man similar Vibes to be honest with you

Similar Vibes to the last one except a little bit more fish not sure what kind of fish they’re using here super fresh and clean everything I said about that last one kind of translates over to this one as well so I dip it try it out that’s one of those things that like

I could eat a ton of those and not feel that bad about myself because just It Feels So Fresh can definitely taste the TLC in that one too but um let’s move on to the main event these are I can’t lie I mean these are the ones that I’m most

Interested in here once again I believe this one is the carnas and this one is the beef you can tell right off the bat the structure of this one is quite different um good pieces of meat here really nice and no none of that SLO we just basically have some onions and some

Cilantro and then maybe some kind of sausage as well going in okay this is tasting real OG to me for one is just it’s just mighty fine but I love all tacos you know I love TexMex tacos Fusion tacos American Sal tacos you know Midwest style you know

Just the Ortega Taco Bell you name it but this this is what I’m looking for the more kind of authentic Vibes this one tastes like something that I would have eaten right on those streets um and a couple reasons why let’s just say like when I get carnas

From like Taco Bell um it’s kind of like a the consistency is like pulled pork it’s very consistent and it’s very uh uniform whereas in this you’re getting o like maybe not odd but different size pieces and different textures and you are getting that kind of shredded Vibe as well with some of

The pieces but also you know this is more of a bark Vibe you’re getting definitely more textures and potentially even different parts of of meat in there so good I don’t even really want to mess with these sauces when it comes to these these meat ones so and I’ve been I

Completely forgot about this coke so I’m just whatever this is what they’re calling suadero which honestly if this wasn’t written down on the box I wouldn’t I might think this was the pork I would get confused uh between this one and the last one I can’t lie but maybe

We can uh pull some flavors out of this and see if you can detect that beef beef this oh man yeah it’s almost like a like stew meat I I don’t know I just I don’t want to I want to stay in my Lane here and I

Don’t really know what I’m talking about but it’s almost like this beef has been stewed and then broken up and put in this Taco if you close your eyes this is one of those where sometimes you just got to close your eyes because you can get transported to a different location

The memories are hitting me the little place I went that’s still vividly in my mind in Mexico real lowkey spot um they had a lot of like tripe kind of meats and stuff there which at the time I was like like probably 19 when I went I was like ate

It and I was like damn that’s fire and I remember got like 13 tacos for like the cheapest of all prices but way cheaper than uh 26 bucks for four tacos I’ll tell you that much right now actually well I guess that does include these sides and the drink but anyway I digress

That’s pretty much it I mean I guess I’ll finish these off these little sides off real quick but and let me just tell you what uh someone like this guy Taco I don’t know how he had the the nerve the guts to just pick up pack up go to Mexico 15 different

Cities come back and open up a takar and soul but I respect the hell out of it I think it must be kind of a somewhat new place there weren’t that many reviews but I did see there was one like one star review and dude went off I

Didn’t take the time to read read it but someone wasn’t really satisfied with like the pork I think it was they said they said it was too greasy I read that part from the customer his reply to that it was a wall which I’m not reading that but he’s passionate and he

Uh well I assume he was standing up sticking up for his his flavors I’ll tell you what man if there was one thing I would say to this guy it would be hook me up hook me up with some more food man hook me up with some more

Tacos I’m just kidding it would be like ooh give me some rice and bean options that’s that’s still my only complaint and I don’t know if that’s really how authentic that would be to find out a a real Takara but that’s has been my constant complaint about all Mexican places here in

Korea I basically talk about it every time I get some kind of good tacos his rice and bean game is is so whack but it is what it is I I shouldn’t be complaining I’m happy I’m it’s a good meal but yeah man I don’t know seems

Authentic to me at the very least U I respect what he’s doing I mean I’m sure there’s all different types of variations throughout Mexico so like you know if you’ve been to a certain spot and like man they don’t do that over in this place well they might do it some

Other place or they might not in this guy’s tripping I don’t know all I know is uh I enjoyed it so I’m getting out here thanks for watching I’ll catch you in the next video peace
