07:45 - Typically, people think of food trucks as greasy taco stands roaming around. Well I found a taco truck, but it was not tipico nor greasy. The Far East Taco Grille Truck fuses elements of Asian (Korean mostly I think) and Mexican to create some pretty far out and inspired tacos.
When arriving at Far East Taco Grille, you have your pick of 1 taco for $3 or 3 tacos for $8. I suggest you opt for 3 tacos. You may not finish all three, but like me, you can save 1 for afternoon tea (Yes, I have hobbit eating habits). For starters, all of my tacos had corn tortillas, spicy mayo, onion and cilantro relish, and cheese-crema. These basics really round out the Mexican portion of the dish. The variance came from the Korean/Asian side. I ordered one Bang Tang Chicken with grill bean sprout slaw, one Spicy Flying Pig with sweet chili Romaine slaw, and one Powerful Steak with kimchi-lime slaw. The first two were sweet with a hint of savory.
The last one had me scared, and I will tell you why, Focus Foxies. My Korean War Vet Grandfather (Papa) has only shared a few things about Korea with me. The most memorable that Papa told was his hatred for kimchi because it stank to high heavan. So when the food truck man suggested the kimchi, I was terrified, but Challenge Accepted! I chowed down on the Powerful steak and kimchi-lime taco. This spicy taco came at me with a bit of a vengeance, and I must say: it was my favorite. I do not know if I will ever be a full fledged kimchi fan for life, but I do respect Far East Taco Grille for the tasty introduction.
