I always thought that my first Korean taco would come from a
beloved food truck, but I'm just as happy that it came from a little
hole in the wall in North Vegas called KoMex Fusion Express. The only
thing that kind of had me going back and forth on the place was the
questionable logo character but I'm thinking that's something other
blogs can address. Anyways, it was a pleasant surprise to see that not only does this establishment specialize in Korean-Mexican fusion, but they tackle and integrate some Chinese or American food into the mix.
Ever since I started eating Korean BBQ, I've had a soft spot for the spicy pork and if you know me, you'll know that my favorites will somehow include that incredible white meat. Naturally, I order the Daeji Bulgogi (Spicy Pork) Fusion tacos. They come with green and purple cabbage, onions, cilantro and optional kimchi. You can get the kimchi fried but I'm kind of a purist when it comes to fermented cabbage and I love it au naturale. The pork is marinated well and comes out fairly tender. You get great contrast and bite from the veggies, especially the sour of the kimchi. This being my first fusion taco, it's definitely not like anything I've ever tried, they were small but filling. A nice surprise especially for just $1.29.
It's a great idea to get something to share like fried rice, especially for a group of 4 like us. We went with the Bulgogi(Marinated Beef BBQ,) fried rice which was surprisingly large for just $6.99, more than enough to share. As far as the fried rice is concerned, it's pretty standard preparation if not a bit greasy. What made this great was the Bulgogi, a bbq that lends a sweetness in the meat you don't find in plain fried rice dishes.
We had a great experience here, even the gringos. In total I think we only spent around $20 which is VERY college budget friendly. The menu is huge with a lot of interesting offerings that need to be tried, so I'll have to just wait until next time to...Nurse my craving ;)
