@jstele you know funny thing about people like MrManny7426 is that they are so "proud" of their cuisine that they can't understand change. Pizza? if you ever been to Italy it's really different than stuff we sell here in US. If there was no fusion there wouldn't be a lot of food that we eat. MrManny needs to get over himself. Also, guess what Koreans call Tacos and Burritos in Korea. Mexican Sahm. Which mean wrap. lol

@jstele Let me know when youre coming to south central L.A. so i can throw money in your face..money dont mean shit to me, obviously it does to you :)

@MrManny7426 I'm not affiliated with Kogi, but responded because yours was an ignorant comment. The shell may be Mexican, but the filling is NOT. Why would they call it , "Tacochino"? It's not Chinese. You need to get over your bitterness. There are Korean food trucks that are doing quite well. You're just bitter because Kogi was the first to go really big with the whole Mexican fusion concept. I'm done with you.

@jstele I guarantee you..if you try to sell korean food on your 'roach coach on wheels' you would not sell as much as u do 'tacos' As long theres customers u going to sell more...Maybey u should change your title to "Tacochino" and i bet youll get more customers jaja

[MrManny7426]

@jstele Dude! Theres lots of reasons why its lot the most expensive cuisine..but lets not go there... Thinking outside the box depends on what box youre in..so if youre in the IM box and its not working for you, maybey what you really need to do is ...sell tacos. bye

[jstele]

If Koreans wanted to make money on a foreign cuisine, they would do Japanese. Get over yourself. Mexican food isn't that expensive compared to some other cuisines.

[jstele]

@MrManny7426 No one is trying to reclaim tacos as Korean. If you cared to inform yourself and LISTEN, Kogi is a Korean Mexican fusion concept. So don't be so touchy. No one is trying to steal your tacos.
