Johnny's Taco Stand in Iteawon

See that little yellow truck just below Justin Bar?  Run, don't walk to it!  The smell coming from that little truck was enough to make me stop and look for it....not in a bad way like many of the smells that come from the streets here, this was an amazingly delicious smell, one that I haven't smelt in over a year.  As I sniffed, I knew something great was cooking, and it was in the Mexican food category!  Oh God, I thought I might be dreaming when I approached this yellow truck/taco stand.  As I stood in the long line, everyone seemed very happy, but as I was watching the guys make the tacos, I was a little scared when I saw them squirt white and red stuff on the tacos.  You never know what white or red stuff might be here in Korea.  I mean sometimes there is white stuff on pizza...and that white stuff is a bit nasty.  So, I was talking to my friend T while in line and said that I didn't think I wanted the white or red stuff on my taco. When Johnny, the owner heard me he said in perfect English "sour cream and hot sauce".  Well, forgive me....of course I want sour cream and hot sauce on my taco!  Here is Johnny- he calls himself the Naked Chef, I don't know why, he has clothes on.

You can get beef or chicken tacos.  We got both,  and they are both equally delicious!  Johnny is here from California; his taco stand is open in Iteawon from 8PM to 6AM every night. Tacos are 4,000 won each and totally worth it!  In fact we are heading out right now to get one!

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
