A fusion taco counter that pulls from Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese flavor profiles rather than sticking to a straight Mexican playbook — the 36-hour marinade tofu and ahi tuna tacos give the plant-based and seafood sides real weight alongside the meat menu. It runs as a late-night Westwood pit stop with outdoor seating and wallet-friendly pricing, though the tiny review footprint (13 ratings) means the kitchen is still proving itself at scale.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy Shrimp Taco, Beef Brisket Street Taco, Carne Asada Bowl with Crispy Kale
What Makes it Special: Mexican-fusion tacos with bold global twists — Korean bulgogi, Vietnamese tofu, Japanese ahi — plus a full plant-based menu that rivals the meat side.
