    Pollo Fries
    Max W.

    I had been wanting to try this place for a while after Kenji posted on IG about it. While driving by after running errands and noticing it was pretty empty, my girlfriend and I decided to try it. I will echo other reviewers that the ordering system is somewhat convoluted. It seems that the restaurant's preferred method of having you order is online, yet to do that you need to sign up and create an account. Why do we need to create an account to simply order food? Once you get thru that hurdle, ordering is fairly simple, and you'll pick up your food on the side of the truck. The food itself looks unassuming, but it's very good - and filling! The fries are crispy and full of flavor, and the burrito bowl was excellent and filling! My girlfriend enjoyed her bibimbowl. Prices are around $15ish per dish but they are definitely portion-generous. We'll be back.

    3.5 stars An interesting Mexican-Korean fusion food truck ... with some traditional Mexican food (tacos) and some traditional Korean food (bibimbap). Of course, the best things are the ones the blend the two ... We tried the vampire tacos and the bibim bowl with Kalbi asada -- both were good. Best were the Korean toppings and salsas on top of the tacos, things like kimchi pico de gallo and pickled daikon. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I found the ordering process cumbersome. They ask you to order via a QR code, which then prompts you to enter information - but it didn't work -- and apparently, we weren't alone in having this problem - we then had to order verbally, and have them manually tap the credit card. The whole ordering setup was really quite poor - they should do something different. The food truck shares an eating area (sheltered picnic tables and the like) with Project 9 Brewing -- a good collaboration (good for both).

    Located right outside project 9 brewing. Great Mexican/korean fusion place. We tried the bibimbowl and kogi fries with kalbi. Both were pretty good and came with a bunch of little sides of Kimchi and pickled veggies and salsa. Friends got the burritos which looked amazing too. Perfect food to pair with some beers!

    I would often drive by this food truck on the way home from work. Luckily some friends also saw it and wanted to try it out. I loved the idea of Mexican and Korean fusion. I got the Kimchi Gringa tacos. The tacos had carmelized kimchi in it and then I chose some pork with Korean flavoring. You can choose your own toppings. It was nice flavoring! The seating area had benches under a covering which was really nice on the warm summer day. The only downside is that you have to order specifically through a QR code. There's no option to order through a real person. I really think they should have that as an option. Other than that a great find and I already know what I'm getting next time.

    new-ish food truck in front of project 9 brewing doesn't disappoint and in fact tickles the tastebuds with some great mash ups! since i was taking my order to go, i went for the korrito burrito with the carnitas mushrooms. there's instructions to submit order via the qr code and while i waited i took advantage of some of the great options like soy based marinated jalapeños and onions, carrots and jalapeños in escabeche, kimchee cabbage, pico de gallo, some pretty tasty looking sauces like gochuchang and habanero cream, etc. i may have been the first order of the day, a little shy of noon on a sunny saturday. two workers were there and one who efficiently began creating my burrito once i submitted my order via my phone. i caught his attention and asked that he cut my burrito in half as they were preparing it which he nodded he would do. it became clear when he handed me the burrito in the bag, however, that he hadn't understood my ask so i made an executive decision and switched to spanish, asking that he cut it in half and wrap each half separately so i could eat one half immediately and one later. once i explained what i wanted in spanish, there was zero problem getting it done but know you may need patience and spanish to communicate with them. the taste was great and the absolute mash up of kimchee and rice and beans works so damn well together! i added habanero cream and it was delightfully spicy and filling along with the other ingredients. there's street parking in the general vicinity but coming off the i5 lake city way exit, you're going to need to take that right onto 80th or you'll blaze right by the corner. i bet a lot of neighborhood foot traffic happens later in the day. i didn't stay to eat but the food was memorable enough to make me want to detour again when i'm in the area to try some tacos or one of their fusion bowls also on the menu. i love the concept of these two cuisines cuddling up together in tortillas, large or small. it's genius!

    The good: The condiment bar + Gringa Taco The bad: The Korrito The ugly: The ordering experience Taking Kenji's very high recommendation, I decided to try this place out on my night off from baby duties. I was about 30 seconds away from leaving disappointed, but was able to finally complete my order. But first, the condiment bar was far and away the star of the show. Typically, you wouldn't think a burrito truck's condiment bar would be anything to write home about, but this was on another level. It was almost like a self-serve kiosk of side dishes you would find at a Korean restaurant. There was cucumber salad, picked daikon, pickled cabbage, jalapenos, kimchi pico de gallo, and about 4 different kinds of sauces. I sampled each of them. They were all very delicious! The Kimchi Gringa Taco was as tasty as Kenji said it was. The caramelized kimchi and cheese was the perfect balance to the savory Al Pastor. My only gripe: the meat was a little burnt to my taste. I would have preferred it with a little less char. Because the meat was so charred, I ended up throwing out a bit of it in an effort to avoid the carcinogens. I also ordered the Korrito, which wasn't very good. It was a bit flavorless and lacked in variety. I definitely did not taste the caramelized kimchi or pickled cabbage. It tasted more like a just plain rice wrapped in a tortilla. It's harsh, I know, but I thought the burrito you'd get Chipotle would probably have been better. The ordering experience was so uniquely terrible that I almost went home without ordering. It makes no sense to have a virtual "line", where only one person can place an order at a time. The whole point of ordering online is to streamline the ordering process. So if I have to sit there refreshing the page for 15 minutes until I am "first" in line, that completely defeats the purpose of ordering online. It's one thing to say, "we have a lot of orders, so your food might take a while", but it's a whole other thing to say "we have a lot of orders, so please refresh the page until you can order." My advice: remove the queue and take the orders. Having a notice "food will be ready in X minutes" is sufficient warning to customers if you are busy. There is no reason to have 2 virtual queues. All-in-all, it was a decent experience. If you were to ask me, I think Kenji was a bit too nice in recommending Mexican Seoul. I may come back one day, but this definitely will not be my go-to burrito truck anytime soon.

(those burritos are massive omg.) the mole enchiladas were SOOO good, as were the cashew poblano enchiladas. their sauces are so yummy and the presentation was on-point for both enchiladas. i also had a bite of my friend's carne en morita which is a slow cooked pork dish, and i was obsessed. the only thing i'd say to pass on would be the tacos. drinks were also great and had amazing presentation. i was very satisfied with my carajillo and my friend's passion fruit mojito was also very tasty (you could NOT taste the alc in it i swear) overall, koko's is a great spot if you're looking to dress up for a cute night out but also craving some tasty mexican food.

The table also has two glass bottles of water for refilling as needed which I always appreciate. We started with the Bone Marrow and Queso Fundido and both were delicious. 10/10, no notes. I typically don't like Queso Fundido because it gets so greasy and the cheese hardens fast but this was flavorful, spreadable and the chorizo was a nice compliment not the main event. The Bone Marrow was exactly what you'd expect! So yummy. For our mains we got the Buenos Aires Torta (actually the reason we came to try Asadero) and the shrimp tacos. The bread for the Torta was flavorful and perfectly toasted. The steak was delicious and the chimichurri was so good I just wish there was more! My husband got the tacos and he said they were also very good! After we finished eating we were offered peppermint tea (complimentary) which was another really unexpected and unique touch/experience! The service from everyone was great. Very friendly. Quick service. The establishment was clean and so cozy but also upscale in a very chill way. Bathrooms were clean and smelled good with cute decor. It's not a huge place but I think that's what allows for such an attentive experience. From start to finish we really enjoyed ourselves and will absolutely be back with friends or family!

I'm usually a fan of a smaller, curated menu because it suggests care in sourcing and execution. But for us, the execution just didn't land. Everything is served family-style, but the portion sizes didn't justify the price point. We started with the sourdough and butter spread, and it was a letdown right away. The bread was hard as a rock, and the butter--while sounding interesting--came slightly burnt and didn't feel worth $11 for two pieces. Next was the albacore tuna tostada. As someone who travels to Mexico City often, I was genuinely excited for this. But it leaned heavily on avocado, with barely any tuna to balance it out. For $25 and only two tostadas, it felt pretty stingy. The rapini quesadilla sounded promising but ended up tasting mostly like broccolini and mushrooms--nothing that really stood out or justified the dish. We finished with the 21-day dry-aged steak, which, at $59, felt like it should've been a highlight. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. It came out essentially raw, which I didn't mind in theory, but it was incredibly chewy and lacked flavor. It was difficult to cut and even harder to enjoy. The tortillas were nice, and the demi-glaze had potential, but overall it just didn't come together. Even the refried beans on the side were underwhelming--something you could easily find done better at a casual spot. On the bright side, the mezcal margarita with a tajín rim was excellent--well-balanced and probably the highlight of the night. And the service was warm and attentive, which I appreciated. But overall, for the prices and the hype, this place just didn't do it for me. Maybe we ordered wrong, but I've had much better elsewhere. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be back.

I was disappointed to…read moresee that the menu has changed a lot (and not just seasonally, but just a completely different menu) since the last time I visited (maybe a year ago or so). Before it seemed like Maiz Molino was focusing on elevated, unique Mexican dishes (shown in the pics in my prior review such as short rib, and other sort of "fusion" dishes, and more seafood focused, etc.) Now, the menu seems way more generic and casual like enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, tamales, etc. just offered w/ different proteins. They are still focusing on maiz but just a bit more generic in the preparation and offerings. Also, they had 2 separate menus which was a bit confusing. One is a generic all day menu and then another menu had brunch and dinner on it. It was around 5:30 p.m. but they were out of a particular steak dish that we were interested in. Service was friendly. We had enchiladas, a dip sampler (for appetizer) and Tlacoyos. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out, sadly. It wasn't very busy while we were there, so hoping that they are doing ok as a business. I would love to come back if they brought back the old menu w/ things that you cannot really find elsewhere, including the great cocktail menu and desserts that were offered previously.

They have an option where you can try ALL of their dips for $20, which I couldn't resist. It was so fun, they had like 9 different ones! I got the shrimp tacos and they were so flavorful that I almost gasped. The creamy sauce, crunchy veggie toppers, smooth avocado, and perfectly cooked shrimp...just wow. I will be dreaming about this dish for years to come. I am a pescatarian and gluten free and there were TONS of options for me. They mostly use corn for everything, not flour. The staff was gracious and kind. They seemed a little understaffed but truly made the most of it and made every table feel attended to and special, which was so lovely. Really cool vibe- lots of art and special touches. A really cool place that I can't wait to recommend to friends.
