    Birria egg roll
    Kayla S.

    My favorite place to eat before movies at the Gateway! I crave the Birria egg roll weekly, it's one of my favorite appetizers in Columbus. Their Korean fried chicken is pretty saucy and always a very generous amount. It's nestled in the Game Arena lobby and is a very casual vibe, sometimes service is faster if you sit at the bar but the kitchen is very fast once your order is placed.

    Interesting concept. Have been ordering in more recently, so I tried TaKorea. It's a mix of Mexican and Korean-inspired cuisine and they really go full send on the idea. I tried both egg rolls, the Korean fried chicken burrito, and a birria quesadilla. They offer lots of different sauces including a spicy Korean BBQ sauce. That one was interesting. I actually liked everything I tried from there, albeit none of it felt super authentic. I wasn't expecting that, but it's to be noted. The consomme for the birria was super thin so it didn't really add a lot to the experience. The guacamole was pretty good. I would definitely order from there again and potentially try something new. I think the Korean fried chicken burrito was my favorite item, but it needed more sauce.

    Delivery of birria eggrolls, bulgogi quesadilla, and Korean fried chicken burrito. Everything was perfect. Unexpected flavor combos that 100% WORK. Why is this not a more common fusion style???

    Really delicious food. We catered TaKorea for lunch and it was excellent. Highly recommend the birria tacos and KFC!

    It was my first time trying TaKorea. I ordered it through DoorDash, and had it delivered. It was like Korean version of Chipotle. Overall the food was tasty! The burrito was quite big and flavorful~ I liked the fried chicken too. It was cooked perfectly and the meat was very juicy. But I didn't like the taco. The meat was dry, and it tasted a little plain to me as well.

    I was so excited to hear there was a taco Korean fusion restaurant. It was taco Tuesday and I was looking on DoorDash to deliver tacos. To my surprise I saw this place. I love Mexican food and Korean food, so I was excited to see a fusion. It's also a ghost kitchen. I ordered the egg roll brirria, brirria with the con'sume , curry taco, fried chicken taco, pork taco ans of course the Korean fried chicken. The food was subpar, my kids liked the pork and fried chicken taco. The brirria was underwhelming. Maybe because it was to go order that the taco was soggy and the flavor was lacking. The curry taco was dry, like I needed the verde to make it somewhat moist. The egg roll wasn't bad. If you asked me if I would order again, I would say no. Hey maybe you might like to give it a try.

    I have mixed feelings about TaKorea. The concept is excellent -- it's a mash-up of two cuisines that truly seem to belong together. One difficulty, however, is that they're a ghost kitchen that seems to be set up in the same space as several other ghost kitchens. Now, I have no problem with that at all...but when we first tried to visit a month or so ago, we realized that there was truly no mechanism for going to the location and ordering there. Worse still, the restaurant hours are listed differently in different locations. We went around 5:00 last time, only to discover that they wouldn't start processing orders until 6:00. As such, we had to go elsewhere then and resolved to try again. Fast forward to this attempt. Because of our experience last time, we decided to order for delivery, which simply seemed more convenient, even though it added another $10 to the order. The menu looks wonderful, and I had a hard time deciding between three or four items. My girlfriend decided to go with the Korean fried chicken -- the small plate, as the main portion wasn't available -- and I went with the fried chicken burrito. We also ordered chips and queso to split. As soon as I submitted the order, I realized I forgot to add the Asian slaw that my girlfriend wanted, but the site assured me that I could edit my order for the next half-hour. So I did. The food arrived when scheduled, though we noticed immediately that they missed the slaw (though I was still charged) which was unfortunate. But the real problem with having food like this delivered is that any crispiness the chicken was supposed to have is gone, and the sauces, which sound so delicious, are almost fully absorbed into the breading. Our meals were still fairly warm, but my girlfriend was quite dissatisfied with her Korean fried chicken. I liked my burrito a bit more, and appreciated that it was a big portion...but the chicken was the most disappointing part. There was just nothing special about it -- nothing to distinguish it from any other kind of breaded chicken, really. I must say that the chips and queso were very good. A few of the chips were rubbery, but most were crispy and delicious. Overall, my takeaway is that this is the kind of food that needs to be eaten immediately after it's prepared. It has a street food feel, but that really doesn't work well when you have to order delivery from a ghost kitchen in an industrial part of town. Maybe if they get a storefront somewhere (even a kiosk!) it will be worthwhile, but our overall experience with our two TaKorea attempts is decidedly "meh."

I sit at the bar and I'm greeted by something I've never had ever...chips served with 2 red salsas, a verde salsa and bean dip!

I powered thru the chips and bean dip like it was my job. And it didn't disappoint. Really fresh and flavorful. Nachos are nachos, right? Wrong. How they are assembled has everything to do with their mouth feel as they cool down. I've had nachos that come out looking amazing but as they cool, turn into a disappointing chuck of chips held together by shredded cheese cement. These stayed loose with crunchy bites of peppers and onions, and the cheese sauce coated instead of becoming cement-like. I always order the same thing when trying a New Mexican spot. If the nachos are good, chances are everything is good! So I'll keep the almost 5 Star steak going. I agree, some of the best Mexican food in Columbus.

    While I was in Korea, I came across a story that stopped me in my tracks--one of those moments when…read morethe weight of someone else's experience hits close to home. Ricardo, a waiter at Cazuela's Mexican Cantina in Reynoldsburg, had finished serving a table, expecting the usual--a tip, a simple acknowledgment of his hard work. Instead, he received a hateful message scrawled on the receipt, the kind that cuts deeper than words should. Ricardo works at Cazuela's only on Sundays, a second job to help make ends meet. So today, in between my OCIA responsibilities, I decided to stop by--to meet him, to shake his hand, and to remind him that there are far more good people in this world than the ones who spew hate. As we talked, I saw a man who carries himself with quiet dignity, someone who simply wants to work hard and provide for his family. I shared with him that I, too, know what it feels like to be told to "go back to your country," even though, like him, I am an American. I told him about my childhood, standing in front of my family's Crestview Market, hearing the ugly chants from passing cars--some driven by kids I went to school with. But today wasn't just about reliving painful memories; it was about something greater--the power of community, of kindness that drowns out cruelty. When I arrived at Cazuela's, I wasn't alone. Others had also come to show their support, to stand with Ricardo. He told me the outpouring of kindness had been overwhelming, and I was relieved to hear it. Before I left, I handed him my WARM card and told him if he ever needed help, he could call me. Because no one should feel alone in moments like these. And, by the way, if you ever stop by Cazuela's, their enchiladas and Mexican rice are fantastic. The chips and salsa? Fresh and addictive. And my server, Isabel--attentive, kind, and everything a great waitress should be. Some people choose to spread hate. But today, I saw so many more people choosing love. And thats what matters.
