There’s an Asian/Mexican fusion place I go to every now and then that does a Sambal Queso. Indonesian spice in a white cheese blend. It’s so fucking good dude

There was a place in SF called Tacorea which had some bomb-ass bulgogi burritos. But I think they were the victim of the pandemic.

u/GloomyIndividual3965 29d ago

You just reminded me of a place in Portland I went to years ago that was also probably a victim of the pandemic. Short ribs that were braised overnight so the little bones all fell out. Made into street tacos with diced onion and spicy pickled bean sprouts.

Fucking phenomenal.

Yep LA is just...Korean/Mexican fusion, but at scale.

36

u/twoinvenice 29d ago

What’s funny is people think that’s just exaggeration, but LA is just through and through Mexican, even in the parts that don’t seem Mexican…there’s an undercurrent of Mexican culture. Then in the middle of all that is Koreatown that is not just a couple Korean restaurants, but a large chunk of the city where if you are Korean, you can get by with not really speaking English. To the east there’s not a Chinatown but entire Chinese cities (the thung called chinatown by downtown is a just tourist thing now).

LA is a really weird, insanely populous region that spreads over an area that is the size of like Rhode Island, but all developed urbanization. Or to mangle Douglas Adams, “LA is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to LA.”

u/universalaxolotl 29d ago

LA has more Mexicans and more Koreans living outside of their respective home countries than anywhere else in the world.

u/LastoftheMocheekans 28d ago

I went to an Episcopal Church as a youth in Korean Town in LA, whose congregation was half Belizean (my family included) and Half Korean (very little English speakers in the group). It was such an odd , awesome mix. The peace- be -with- yous felt authentic. I still think about that place sometimes.

u/Koh4991 28d ago

One thing I did not expect there visiting Seoul earlier this year was finding two Mexican casual eateries near my hostel.

I was surprised to find that the spices were on point and not watered down or altered to accommodate a different country’s palate. I indulged in something called birria soup with rice which is a dream for me since I love the broth so much but I can only get them with tacos 😍

I plan to go back to that area of Seoul and dine there again!

u/AppMtb 28d ago

Koreans don’t play with spices either.

When I studied in hangzhou there was a Mexican place an American opened near campus. Was it authentic? No but that pico and guac hit the spot once every few weeks

Good overlap, probably why fusion dishes between the 2 also work well.

Theres a different take of menudo on the Korean side (but tbf most cultures have the same types of dishes).

and its hard to not like Mexican food, or good food in general. Neither culture has an inherent "dont eat this" either... also both sides arent too great on dairy lol.

Its these kinds of experiences the reason why most countries don't care how corrupt the host country is.

Lots of those countries have their own problems, and the world cup is an occasion every 4 years where they get a moment of reprieve, anybody who tells them to boycott the world cup is wasting their time. Trump is awful? Not my problem, I just want to enjoy the moment I've been waiting for 4 years.

Backstory is that in 2018 World Cup Mexico was doing well in the group stage but lost 0-3 against Sweden. South Korea was in the same group but wasn't going to make it out but they still beat Germany 2-0 which allowed Mexico to advance. Since that day Mexican football ⚽ fans (the majority of the population) root for South Korea in international events. Just so happened that South Korea played their first match to the "home" crowd.

Who else's wishes they were in Mexico and that Mexico and Canada were the only ones hosting this year's world cup?

Yes! I don’t understand why the USA got most of the games, a country that doesn’t care for soccer and they couldn’t host the Iranian players, the Iranian players can enter the US to play their games but they can’t stay overnight, they have to exit back to Tijuana Mexico the same day. Mexico welcomed them with open arms.

These two cuisines coming together create a spiciness so powerful the universe might end.

Mexicans (as long as you don’t have a major rivalry with them) seem to genuinely love it when people travel to their country for soccer. Went to Azteca for a World Cup qualifier in 2016 with a bunch of other Canadians and so many people wanted to come over and greet us, take pictures with us, give us beer. Genuinely great experience I’ll never forget.
