The food truck craze is driving the surge in popularity of Korean flavors. From L.A. to New York, mobile vendors are dispensing Korean tacos—a craveable street food hybrid of barbequed meats and spicy kimchi enclosed in a Mexican-style tortilla. Here, fish takes on the characteristic sweet-hot-sour flavors and juicy mangoes go into the salsa topping.
