Bonchon Korean Tacos
Price & Calories 2026
Flour tortillas filled with Spicy Chicken or Bulgogi, topped with lettuce, coleslaw, buttermilk ranch, spicy mayo, and scallions. Korean-Mexican fusion done the Bonchon way — bold, layered, and completely satisfying.
Korean-Mexican Fusion at Its Best
Bonchon Korean Tacos are soft flour tortillas filled with either Spicy Chicken or Bulgogi — a direct collision of Mexican street food and Korean flavors that works far better than it sounds. Each taco is loaded with five toppings: lettuce for crunch, Korean-style coleslaw for creaminess, buttermilk ranch for tang, spicy mayo for heat, and fresh scallions to finish. Three tacos come per order, making it a proper starter or a light solo meal.
The Korean Taco concept came from the Korean-American food scene — specifically the Los Angeles Korean BBQ taco trucks that exploded in popularity in the 2010s. Bonchon's version stays true to that spirit: Korean protein inside a Western format, brought together with sauces that bridge both cuisines. The spicy mayo ties the Korean heat to the Mexican tortilla. The buttermilk ranch keeps it accessible for people who want something familiar alongside the Korean flavors.
The Spicy Chicken version ($10.99) uses Bonchon's signature Korean-spiced chicken. The Bulgogi version ($12.95) uses USDA marinated beef with its characteristic sweet-savory depth. Both use the same tortilla and the same five toppings.

Which Filling Should You Order?
Korean-spiced chicken with a slow-building heat — the same flavor profile as Bonchon's spicy sauce on chicken. It brings familiarity for Bonchon regulars while the taco format delivers a completely different eating experience. The spice from the chicken + spicy mayo creates a double layer of heat that the coleslaw and ranch help balance.
USDA marinated ribeye bulgogi — sweet, garlicky, deeply savory Korean beef inside a flour tortilla. The sweetness of the bulgogi marinade contrasts beautifully with the tangy ranch and spicy mayo toppings. This is the most Korean-authentic flavor option and the most complex flavor profile of the two. The beef is tender and slightly caramelized from the marinade.
What Goes Into Every Korean Taco
Every Korean Taco — regardless of filling — comes with the same five toppings. Each one plays a specific role in balancing the bold Korean protein filling inside the flour tortilla.

The Spicy Chicken version has medium-high heat — the Korean spiced chicken plus the spicy mayo drizzle create a building heat level. The coleslaw and buttermilk ranch help cool it down. Bulgogi Tacos are milder — the beef is sweet and garlicky without significant heat, though the spicy mayo still adds some warmth.
