Korean Tex-Mex fusion (Chinatown Outlet) Interesting combination of Korean and Mexican flavours. The staff are super friendly and the food was filling and tasty. It was really wonderful to see them making up the salsa verde from scratch in the store!!

I’d rate this one of the top meals of my life. It was so good. I had the spicy pork bowl and had some kimchi on the side to try. Heavenly Korean taco fusion. Go here. Arrive five minutes before opening to be guaranteed a table. Your food will come out piping hot and super fast. Seriously, go here. You won’t be disappointed.

Great little hole in the wall. Super casual spot to grab a bit on date night or with friends. The vine was relaxed with pop music playing. The cooks are right there in the front making the food fresh. The food's freshness and flavor profile was unbelievable! Definitely stop by here if you're in the area.

Tacorea is a very unique spot for some delicious fusion cuisine. The spicy pork was delicious and it worked well in a taco. The burrito was large and the spicy pork rice bowl had really good portions. Also, tater tots with salsa kinda slaps, didn’t expect that combo to be so good. I like the easy going vibe of the restaurant with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely recommend making a pit stop here for a quick bite. The staff was very friendly as well, kudos to their creativity.

Ordered the El Super Burrito with bulgogi and it was delicious but it could use a bit more seasoning. Portions were huge - I would suggest sharing with a friend. The nachos and salsa were also delicious. My friend also ordered the Super Tater Tot Nachos with carnitas and the tater tots were incredible - so crunchy and delicious.

What the hell did we stumble upon? This place is delicious. 15$ each thing on the menu, and they're all amazing looking. I had the California Wet bulgogi burrito. Fu** yes. How have I never thought to combine the two when cooking at home? It's amazing. And my beautiful partner had the spicy TaterTotchos (tater tot nachos) and they were full, fantastic and delicious. There's a sign outside that reads "If you're in a hurry and expect it fast, you're at the wrong place" fully support this sign. Let's eat.

Super fun menu with Korean ingredients. Lots of flavour and very indulgent. Massive portions! The wet burrito is an interesting alternative to all the other burritos in SF. Much easier to eat with a fork and knife. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Big smiles all around
