Every day between the hours of 11am and 3pm, a block away from North End Grill, and outside the courtyard of The World Financial Center, are five parked food trucks. Every Monday, one of these trucks is the Kimchi Taco Truck, and unless you decide to come early, expect to wait in line of upwards of twenty minutes. For this truck has the best food offered all week.
Phillip Lee, the founder of the truck, is a madman. Seriously, think about it. A man in love with Korean flavors who wants to make the distinct impact on the American public by bringing it to them in a recognizable form. Tacos. Who doesn't love tacos? Who doesn't love Korean food? Who the hell wouldn't love a Korean taco??
Now you understand.
If I'm lucky enough to have the time to wait on line at the truck before heading into work, I'm a very happy man. For $8 you can get three tacos, and then you can eat them right in the park overlooking the waterfront.
Kimchi Taco Truck offers four different types of tacos. Korean-marinated short ribs, spicy pork, braised chicken, and a falafel kimchi taco for vegetarians. The rest of the menu is very diverse. Kimchee bowls and even a kimchi cheesesteak are offered. All ingredients are made on the truck, and set you off on an intense culinary journey, if only just for a few bites.
