Fusion Food-trucks Arrive In The Desert: delicious!
Mexican-Korean fusion has arrived in the Desert SW. Every few weeks, all the food-trucks in Tucson converge in different neighborhoods for a 'food-truck round-up' fiesta...and now, "Mafooco" is among them--"Mexican Asian Food Company." Folks in Arizona no longer have to trek across the Sonora and Mojave deserts to Los Angeles for such delicious hybrids as 'kalbi' (Korean short-rib) tacos and 'kimchi (Korean 'sauerkraut'-w/-a-chili-kick) quesadillas! Mexican-Seoul-food in the desert!

These look really good!
Yeah--cilantro can be an acquired taste; my first impression, as a teenager, was that it tasted 'soapy;' now I love it! As more Koreans become familiar with SE Asian food, I think cilantro might become more part of the flavor palate there...I do know that for my Mexican friends, kimchi 'crosses over' almost immediately, though!
This combination is right up my alley! I live for good Mexican food and kalbi/kimchi are probably my two favorite Korean food groups. :) I would even consider going to Tucson for this...
