[INTERVIEW] A touch of authenticity in Korea's Mexican cuisine scene
In Korea, taco is often used as an equivalent term for Mexican cuisine. Looking up the word “taco” on an online map will show the results for Mexican restaurants nearby whether they sell the dish or not. The food, made with flour tortillas, often has Korean-sourced ingredients that give it a very Korean twist. The majority of restaurants here try to adapt the food to local preferences, and many customers, therefore, believe that this is what Mexican cuisine is all about.
