New Obsessions

I have a new obsession...or infatuation...however you want to look at it. A good friend recently took me to Hankook Taqueria, a little "cantina" located waaaaaaaaayyyy back on Collier down near the distribution centers. It's the kind of place that you'd only find if you already knew where it was but I'm in love.

Ladies and gents, meet the korean taco.

My first visit I had the special Calamari Taco, the Shrimp Taco and the Beef Bulgogi Taco -- all of which were excellent. My personal favorite was the Shrimp.  It was well seasoned, lightly fried and paired with just the right amount of salad tossed in a light soy vinaigrette. Since my inaugural trip last Friday I've been again twice and will probably be back a third. Can't help it, when i like something... i apparently really like it.

This little west midtown gem also supplies the Yumbii food truck -- Atlanta's first official permit sporting food mobile. It's the beginning of a street food revolution people. Atlanta's finally catching up.
