Enjoyed our takeaway from Korea Taqueria - South Philly. Easy to order online and pick up (no eat-in option, just takeaway). We tried: - Birria burrito (surprised to find the cheese on the outside of the burrito, but enjoyed the flavor and especially the birria and salsa); - Kimchi fries (good kimchi, wish there was a way to keep the fries crispy, even when smothered--will definitely try their regular fries option next time); - Dry rub Korean-fried chicken sandwich (wonderful crisp, good flavor in the toppings, could've been spicier or maybe come with a spicy dipping sauce). Definitely want to try the bulgogi cheesesteak and gochujang wings, so we'll be back! read more

First I want to start with the Service. The young lady at the counter with the beautiful Afro and glasses was the sweetest. Very polite while taking my order. This is more of a take out place. While they do have about 2-4 stools so you can eat at the small window seat, this place is small. I ordered the meal for 2. It came with 4 tacos, 6 wings and kimchi fries as well as 4 tenders and fries. Food was plenty for 2. The tacos had good flavor, I liked the seasoning on the fries, the wings were okay. I asked for sauce on the side. Tenders were good. Nice and fresh. Next time I'll try them tossed. All in all food was good and customer service was excellent. read more

I ordered through grub hub on a day I was very hungover. This did the trick and I legit had delicious food for 3 days. Everything was truly so yummy! I think my fave was the wings - they weren't too spicy and definitely had a solid amount of meat. But don't sleep on the cauliflower or bulgoggi birria. I want to order this all again now. read more

I really wanted to give them a high rating but they just had some things I couldn't overlook. We ordered the food for delivery and everything was fresh and still warm/hot. My big complaint has got to be the horchata. It tasted like it was spiked with alcohol, pretty sure tequila. I'm not saying it was, but I was nauseous after the fact considering I'm 2 years sober from alcohol. A few sips and I couldn't drink anymore cause I couldn't shake that taste. I wasn't a fan of the kimchi fries, the flavors just weren't blending well for me. The dry rub wings were wings, it was a little airy from the skin to the meat but nothing to complain about really. The birria tacos were an absolute hit though, I would get these again. They were full, didn't have fat pieces, and had good flavor. Somewhat of a sweet flavor at that, not sure if it was the tortilla or the meat and seasonings themselves but keep it up. Opening the tacos fully and putting that green sauce deep in the middle while dipping into the consommé was flavor town. read more

The food was so good! We ordered a Meal for 2 Sampler (4 beef birria tacos, 2 consome, 6 spicy gochujang wings, and kimchi cheese fries) and an order of al pastor tacos with cucumber kimchi slaw + cilantro. This was a generous amount for 3 people. I think it was a good price value (sampler was $35 +2 to sub fries; tacos was $11.25 +3 to sub al pastor). I think the Meal for 4 Sampler would be a bargain in the future since the portion sizes were large. Wings were bigger and tacos were much fuller. We loved the birria with consome! *It's a corner shop, so there isn't seating at all. It's takeout only. **Staff is super nice and helpful since you're customizing every part of the order. We'll be back! read more

First off I'm a school bus driver and I had taken a basketball team to a school in an area. I've never been when I looked on my Maps app. I saw Korean Taqueria. I had heard about this place hoping to come and what a lucky chance I had being so close. It's a little hole in the wall on the corner, but the girl behind the glass counter was super sweet. I had ordered the cheese steak, which was just about perfect. The Bulgogi cheese sauce was all perfectly blended and melted together. It was next level. phenomenal perfectly seasoned the bread that Cooper Sharp cheddar just a total home run will definitely make an effort to stop by again read more

Absolutely the best birria tacos I've ever had!! Service was quick and friendly too! Definitely will try more

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time, so I was so excited to see they were at the Chinatown night market. I got lucky and was able to get there early so the wait wasn't too bad (10-15min) but I know later in the night the line was ridiculously long which made people not want to go. I got the gochujang pork tacos which were pretty expensive $15 for three but I think it's worth it. They were really stuffed and the flavors were amazing. Pork was tender, a little sweet and spicy. I'm willing to pay a bit more since it's a unique fusion. Since it was a food truck it was kind of hard to eat while standing and it was messy since the tacos were juicy and saucy. Not the establishment's fault but there should been at least tables to place the food. That kind of ruined the dining experience but I would definitely come back to their permanent establishment. read more

Different Cheesesteak #1177. I got the Bulgogi Salsa Macha cheesesteak. I had high hopes for this cheesesteak. If you follow me you know how that usually goes. Not well. I liked the individual parts. Very good roll. The meat had some moisture and flavor. The sauce in the little tub had a just enough kick. I don't like my cheesesteak in layers (i like everything mixed together) and the cheese was not melted. I did like eating it in front of Keith Haring Garden. read more

Awesome taste! Everything fits together; it has the right amount of sauce, slaw, and chicken. I do wished they used a different buns for the burger bc brioche gets soggy easily. Service was fast and price is reasonable. Def be back for their tacos! read more

FOOD I visited Korea Taqueria's truck at South Street Fest and ordered the bulgogi tacos. It came with 2 tacos for $11, which is pricey for the amount you get. Although I found it rich in flavor and well-balanced between meat and veggies, I will say that the tacos as a whole were a little to salty for my taste, to the point that I was unable to finish them. Nevertheless, if they're ever in the area again, I would definitely visit to try other items on their menu, especially their Korean bulgogi birria tacos (didn't see them on their menu this time around). DRINKS They have assorted beverages from bottled water, sodas, and agua frescas. SERVICE Service was quick and easy, and I received my order within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The staff were friendly and kept the lines going when they were long. read more

I ordered Korea Taqueria for a group lunch today and it was a hit by everyone. We ordered the Meal for 4 had the Birria Tacos, Sweet Garlic Soy and Spicy Gochujang Wings, Kimchi Cheese Fries and Chips and Guacamole. So many great flavors! The guacamole was perfectly tangy and creamy. The sauces with the food are a nice addition to already great flavors. We even got free drinks with the order, Watermelon Aqua Fresca and Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca. Both are wonderful spring/summer drinks. The cucumber lime drink was especially good! I had to call the restaurant for answer questions I had about ordering and the person I spoke with was so nice and helpful. That actually was the reason why I settled on this restaurant to order from. The downside is ordering take out that the food sometimes gets a bit soggy in the containers so next time I'll go there and eat as soon as I get my food. And I will definitely go back! Sorry no pics because I couldn't get pics before everyone dove in. read more

Been following one of the owners since his food truck days and I always loved the Korean fusion from Paper Mill Foods spurrito truck so it's great to see a brick and mortar with another fun fusion! They are takeout only and they just opened so wait times may be long! My sister ordered the day before just to be sure they didn't sell out and she got there and waited another half hour for the food after her pickup time. Definitely order ahead! They have all sorts of specials for different days too. Now let's taco bout the food: For 3 people we ordered a bulgogi cheesesteak, bulgogi birria tacos, gochujang wings, pork gochujang quesadilla, and kimchi cheese fries. We all loved the tacos and wings and all the sauces! Even in subzero temperatures and with her having to look for parking for a while the birria tacos and wings were still perfectly crunchy and warm! The side garnish salads and wings definitely have a Korean feel but I think the meat in the tacos and cheesesteak and dipping broth could have been even more Korean flavored. The kimchi fries and cheesesteak came with whiz, would love to see a mozz option. We had leftovers and they reheated great! Definitely recommend ordering from here and don't skip the sauces! read more

Gun to my head what am I picking: Birria tacos OR the Bulgogi beef cheesesteak Answer: Cheesesteak The cheesesteak is simply the beef on a roll covered in wiz. It's a simplistic formula but the marinade and flavor of the tender shredded beef stands all on its own! It reminds me of the formula of chaps pit beef in Maryland. Let the meat do the talking. The Birria tacos come with about 4oz of consume and a 2oz cup of green sauce. The tacos are hearty and register a steep for $15 for three. This is not on par with regular tacos but is on par with prices of Birria dishes. The tacos are double wrapped corn tortilla with cilantro and onions. Once again th at tender beef inside. Finally the nachos chips themselves were nothing to write home about it. They were generic, a step above grocery store tortilla chips pack in the cardboard container another with cheese, sour cream tomatoes and others pictures. I was on the fence about the nachos but they were a Sunday shareable dish. I'd been seeking out Korea Taqueria for a bit given their social media and the buzz around them. Their truck parked in my neighborhood for an event gave me the opportunity. For $15 the cheesesteak was a bit pricy. The tacos were on par with other places so I'm not really drawn back there but the food was tasty so I'll give the truck 5 stars. read more

My friend and I got delivery from Korea Taqueria and it was fantastic! We ordered 3 things to split and had plenty to save for leftovers the next day. My favorite thing we got was the Vegan Quesadilla (flour tortilla with vegan cheese, scallions, toasted sesame seeds, served with a side of cucumber kimchi slaw, and vegan cilantro lime mayo). We chose the fried sweet soy eggplant as our protein, and it was incredible. To me, this was definitely the most flavorful, deliciously complex bite of the meal. We also got the Vegan Burrito (flour tortilla with sesame white rice, black beans, corn, vegan cheese, pico de gallo & cilantro) with the al pastor tofu & grilled pineapple as our protein. We picked the gochujang chipotle mayo and cilantro lime mayo as our sauces. This was also super tasty - my only wish is that the tofu had been a bit crispier. Finally, we ordered the kimchi cheese fries (fries, house made cheese sauce, kimchi salsa, caramelized onion, scallion, cilantro). They were also delicious and well balanced between salty, umami, sweet, and acidic. Definitely recommend ordering from Korea Taqueria for flavor-packed food! read more

I've always wanted to try their food truck but was never able to get to it. Korea Taqueria is now a hidden gem tucked away in Gray's ferry (Wish it was closer to Fishtown). While they only offer takeout service, their culinary creations are nothing short of extraordinary. I recently ordered their Spicy Pork Tacos and Kimchi Fries, and I was blown away by the flavors and portion sizes. The Spicy Pork Tacos were a true delight. Each taco was generously filled with tender, marinated pork that packed a flavorful punch. The fusion of Korean spices and Mexican flair was well balanced, creating a taste sensation that left me craving more. The korean cucumber added in was a great idea. The kimchi fries were also amazing but since I didn't eat it fast, it did get a but soggy. Just heads up. But I could tell it'd been even better if it was fresh. Korea Taqueria deserves every bit of praise it receives. Their Spicy Pork Tacos and Kimchi Fries are not only visually appealing but also incredibly satisfying in terms of taste and portion size. The skillful fusion of Korean and Mexican flavors are much welcomed in Philly. It's such a great combo. Combined with the welcoming ambiance and friendly staff, Korea Taqueria is a must-visit! read more

So it's really 3.5 stars and I cross my heart as well as taste buds; I was hoping to give them a 5/5. Maybe it was the stuff we ordered. But read on. I placed the order in advance for fear of items being sold out. That was a seamless process. I even got a text confirming my pick up. It's located in what used to a Chinese take out place, and there was a lot of foot traffic for picking up orders (kudos to them). We ordered: fried chicken wings in 2 styles, the spicy and soy garlic. I absolutely loved the spicy gochujang wings which came with a side of their chilli oil and both of these were 10/10. The soy garlic fried chicken tasted good, but didn't sit well as a take out item, simply because they got soggy by the time we got home and reheating didn't help. Still a 7/10 I was super excited about Korean bulgogi cheesesteak and so was my SO but we were disappointed and maybe it's just us, but it was more like pulled/shredded beef. Almost too much beef, the cheese was just on top. It was a 2/10 for us. The Birria Tacos also had the bulgogi beef, it was alright. I like it better than the cheesesteak. I was really hoping to like the last item- the Signature burrito with grilled gochujang chicken. The chicken didn't really taste like it had any gochujang flavor and felt a little undercooked. 1/10 I know it's a fusion place, but I definitely like the Korean items better. I will definitely be heading back to this place to try their fried chicken sandwiches which I am sure will be 10/10. It should be on everyone's must try list. read more

Wow! We had this delivered and I am so so stoked about this place. We got the meal for four sampler with 8 birria tacos, kimchi cheese fries and wings. Then we added churros and a Philly cheese steak. Even delivered, everything was so, so good. Honestly the tacos had so much meat on them and were so filling that it really could have fed 5 or 6 easily, even without ordering extra. Will definitely order here again! read more

Korea Taqueria was really good and the concept is wonderful-- Mexican-Korean fusion! We had the bulgogi cheesesteak, kimchi nachos with pork, and spicy chicken tacos. I will say the bulgogi cheesesteak was delicious, but I was looking forward to bulgogi pieces and it is actually shredded bulgogi. Nothing wrong with that, but I wish that were clarified on the menu. We enjoyed the kimchi nachos, and there was a generous portion of meat (which we paid extra for) but I also wish there were actual pieces of kimchi. The spicy chicken tacos unfortunately is mostly the reason this place doesn't get 5 stars from me, because the chicken lacked flavor and was a bit dry. Overall, I highly recommend this spot and I highly recommend the bulgogi cheesesteak and nachos. I've heard great things about the fried chicken and chicken sandwich so those will be next to try! read more

When you're always wanting it all and can't decide between having Korean bbq, tacos or a cheesesteak. Oh my I found the perfect spot. Located in the Gray's Ferry section of south Philly, take out only, situated on the corner with a simple white sign hanging, it has to be good right? It looks like a mashup of Korean and Mexican foods. I decided on the bulgogi cheesesteak with American cheese, if you don't know it bulgogi is the sliced marinated beef from a kbbq, now imagine that in a seeded roll with cheese, it's a beef bulgogi cheesesteak! second choice, imagine the birria tacos with its side dipping broth. Here we have bulgogi birria tacos with its dip Ok after the tasting, I must say this is a pretty cool tasting experience. I'm sure it's been around, probably not something I'll want all the time but it's worth the tickle to your taste buds read more

Bruh... I don't have a lot to things to say about this other than it SLAPS. I visited Philly this weekend and decided to try this corner spot. Sooooo fricking delicious! I got a cauliflower burrito and my family got Burris tacos and a chicken quesadilla. I can't even explain what I ate. It was just a flavor bomb stuffed inside a burrito. I let was so good that we needed up going back the next day for round 2 lol. I recommend the whole menu and all the sauces haha. Call in your order since it's carryout only. The place has street parking. The neighborhood was a little sketchy but it didn't stop me from eating in my car lol.

Great brunch spot for a Korean-inspired Mexican. Got the meal for 2 for $35. Started with the chips and guacamole, which was the least flavorful and probably could've been skipped. Then came the salsa macha chicken wings, which were perfectly crispy and came with a really nice accent dipping sauce of chili oil. I'm always a fan of birria tacos and these were a delight. A great mix of meat, cheese, flavor, and consommé. Filling and great portion. Watermelon agua fresca a refreshing finish. read more

Second time ordering delivery. Both times we ordered the Korean Beef Birria. These tacos come bursting with beef and cheese. It's not traditional because the beef is on the sweeter side, but still very impressive. I love the Korean twist!! The consume broth is magical and the salsa verde is just perfect. The restaurant is take out or delivery only so keep that in mind. I'd order again and again from this restaurant!! read more

I had seen their food on instagram and I wanted to give their wings a try. I got their gochugang wings and their garlic soy chicken tenders with fries. The wings were a tad soggy but I can understand because i got them for takeout and it took me a while to get home. But all the sauces and side sauces were delicious and my only critique is for there to be more sauce on the chicken. my favorite were the soy garlic tenders and the fries with their salsa verde sauce because the tenders were nice and moist and flavorful paired with a very fresh and bright salsa verde. will definitely be back to try some other things for sure. read more

Ordered takeout from Korea taqueria and got the gochujang KFC, Birria tacos, kimchi cheese fries, a chicken burrito and pork burrito. The food arrived super quickly and was the perfect late night feast! Our favorite was the Birria tacos - the meat had a little sweetness to it, and dipping it in the consome was the cherry on top. We also really liked the kimchi cheese fries. You have to try all the different sauces too! read more

I Seen That This Place Had 4.5 So I Decided I Had To Try! Plus The Pictures Of The Food Looks Sooo Good. Overall I Believe This Place Has A Great & Unique Concept.. But The Execution Was Not Done Correctly & Here's Why. I Tried The Sample Meal For 1 w/ The Cauliflower For The Tacos.. The Cauliflower Was Good Alone.. Just Not In The Tortillas. The Cook On The Wings Were Not Good & I Asked For Them To Be Fried Hard & It Was Not. Also The Crust Of The Wings Could Be Way Better Too.. Not A Fan Of The Wings At All. The Guac Taste Like Its PreOrdered From Somewhere.. It Wasn't Giving Fresh Avocado flavor Or Texture At All. & They Gave Me A Small 2oz Soufflé Cup Of It. Since It Wasn't Good I Wasn't Mad.. Lol.. But If It Was Actually Good I Would've Been Pissed.. Lol. My Nephew Had The Gochujang Chicken Sandwich & Cheese Fries & Even He Said His Food Wasn't Tasty & Could've Been A Lot Better. The Drinks (Watermelon & Cucumber Lime Juice) Were Pretty Tasty But A Tad Sweet & The Horchata Wasn't Flavorful Enough. The Churro Cheesecake Should've Just Been Called 'Dulce De Leche Cheesecake' Because It Had Nothing To Do With A Churro. It Didnt Have A Churro Crust.. It Didn't Have Cinnamon Sugar On It & It Didn't Even Have 1 Fried Churro On Top. Just Call It Something Else Because It Was Pretty Tasty.. But A Let Down Due To The Expectations Of The Name. read more

I greatly regret not taking even one photo of our meals, but I think that just means we need to have it again. We got the sampler meal for 1 with the cucumber drink, an order of el pastor kimchi tacos, and the churro cheesecake. This was all to go so I can't exactly speak to the ambiance of the place but I can say the food travels pretty well and is packed up well. There were quite a few sauce components that were fine in transit and nothing got soggy. The sampler we did with the birria, sweet garlic soy wings, and chips & guac. It was a super small amount of chips but they were good. The wings were huge and sauced/cooked to perfection with the most satisfying crunch. The Korean birria tacos were delish, super filling, and flavorful when dipped into the consome. The el pastor kimchi tacos were meaty and delish. The cucumber agua fresca was so refreshing. The churro cheesecake was good but interesting - definitely not your standard slice. I can't wait to try some more of their specialties and maybe even get a photo. The order was for takeout and traveled at least 30 minutes but was still piping hot and ready to be devoured. read more
