Hankook
It’s for eaters.
Hankook is the best Korean/ Mexican collaboration since……yea……um,
okay the strangest combination since Sonny and Cher.
This is a Taqueria with KOREAN Taco’s. If you are looking
for a standard Taqueria go to Taqueria Del Sol, check it out here: http://www.thedryrub.blogspot.com/2012/08/taqueria-del-sol-sundown-cafe.html
Now if you want something unique to Atlanta, come to
Hankook, or let Hankook come to you with Yumbii, their affiliated food
truck.
At any Food Truck Park/ Festival, Yumbii is always the
most popular one. The menu is more limited, but still great. You almost feel bad
for the other trucks like you did for the other members of N’Sync. Justin had
all the talent and the rest of them were just wastes of space.
The Jackson 5 was another example of this. The only reason we know Tito was because of Eddie
Murphy. But the afros are AWESOME. Which one is Tito?
Hankooks best meat is the bbq pork. The taco’s are delicious,
but their “Daeji Gogi Sliders” come with cucumber kimchee and it is my
favorite thing on the menu. But be warned, the Pork packs a nice spicy punch.
The other tacos in my rotation are the “bul gogi” beef
marinated in korean bbq sauce, “saeng seon” panko crusted tilapia with
hoisin tartar sauce and the“crispy” shrimp with hoisin tartar sauce
But their Calamari “crispy” with jalapenos and sweet
chili sauce is my #2 taco. The
sweet chili sauce is a perfect counter to the spicy pork.
They also do Sesame Fries, tossed in sesame oil and red
pepper flakes. When they are good, they
are great with their own Korean take on ketchup.
The problem is they are often soggy and oily. This is my only real issue with Hankook. Well unless you talk about the décor, but you
aren’t coming here to check out the furniture or aesthetics, trust me. In fact the décor may scare the less
adventurous off.
So if you want an easy dinner or a great “to go” dinner,
hit Hankook, it’s delicious and reasonable.
It may be the best thing to come out of Korea
since M*A*S*H, which is still one of the greatest shows of all time.
Or maybe this picture.
Even if you are Slayer fan and live in your mothers
basement you can still appreciate Hankook. This could be ESPN's funniest trailer.
