The latest Taco truck to hit the streets of New York

NEW YORK

There are tacos filled with meat that's marinated in Korean flavors, spicy rice cakes topped with queso blanco, Korean bbq nachos, even a riff on a philly cheesesteak and of course the very popular kimchi rice bowls. /*Chef Youngsun Lee*/ creates his braised pork with a marinade of sugar, pureed apples, onion and garlic purees, hot pepper paste, soy sauce, white wine and water.

Then it's chopped and sautéed and placed on multigrain rice, along with homemade kimchi and pico de gallo.

The truck rolled out a couple of months ago it parks for lunch Monday through Friday in a different neighborhood each day.

Before the truck, co owner Phillip Lee had been a restaurant general manager and he takes a lot of pride in his restaurant on wheels, bringing authentic food right out of a truck. Recipe: Spicy Pork Marinade Ingredients
