What Are Bonchon Korean Tacos?

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.

Ordering Tip: Korean Tacos are more filling than they look. Three tacos at 486 calories is a proper light meal on its own. If ordering alongside chicken, one order shared between 2 people is enough as a starter.

Spicy Chicken vs Bulgogi

Which Filling Should You Order?

🍳
Spicy Chicken
$10.99 — ~486 cal — Most Popular

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.

FlavorBold Korean spice, savory
Heat LevelMedium-high
Price$10.99
Best ForSpice lovers, Bonchon fans
🍖
Bulgogi
$12.95 — ~510 cal — Most Korean

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.

FlavorSweet, garlicky, complex
Heat LevelMild-medium

Recommendation: First time? Order Spicy Chicken — it is the most popular and showcases what makes Korean Tacos unique. Already tried it? Upgrade to Bulgogi — the marinated beef sweetness with the taco toppings is a completely different flavor experience.
The 5 Toppings Explained

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.

🥒
Lettuce
Fresh crunch and lightness — keeps the taco from feeling too heavy
🥗
Coleslaw
Korean-style creamy slaw — cool contrast to the spiced protein
🥚
Buttermilk Ranch
Tangy, herby American touch — bridges Korean and Mexican flavors
🌶
Spicy Mayo
Korean chili heat in creamy form — ties all flavors together with warmth
🌿
Scallions
Fresh green onions — sharp finish that cuts through richness
Flavor Strategy: The 5 toppings are designed to work together — cool (lettuce + coleslaw) balances hot (spicy mayo), tangy (ranch) balances sweet (bulgogi), fresh (scallions) cuts through rich (protein). Eat each taco with all toppings in one bite for the intended experience.
Korean Tacos vs Other Starters

How It Compares

Potstickers $12.49 420 cal 6 pcs Classic dumplings

Frequently Asked Questions

Korean Tacos FAQ

How much do Bonchon Korean Tacos cost?+

Bonchon Korean Tacos cost $10.99 for Spicy Chicken (3 tacos) and $12.95 for Bulgogi (3 tacos). The Bulgogi version is priced higher due to the USDA marinated beef filling. Prices may vary by location.

How many calories are in Bonchon Korean Tacos?+

Spicy Chicken Korean Tacos (3 tacos) contain approximately 486 calories. Bulgogi Tacos run slightly higher at around 510 calories. Each taco is approximately 160–170 calories. Figures are estimates and vary by location.

What filling options are available?+

Bonchon Korean Tacos come in two filling options: Spicy Chicken ($10.99) and Bulgogi (marinated USDA beef, $12.95). Both options use the same flour tortilla and the same five toppings (lettuce, coleslaw, buttermilk ranch, spicy mayo, scallions).

How spicy are Bonchon Korean Tacos?+

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.

Are Korean Tacos a good meal on their own?+

Yes — 3 Korean Tacos at ~486 calories is a solid light meal for one person. Adding Seasoned Fries ($7.15) or Steamed Rice ($2.05) makes it a more complete and filling meal. Most people order them as a starter to share alongside chicken.

Do Bonchon Korean Tacos contain allergens?+

Yes — Korean Tacos contain wheat (tortilla), eggs (mayo, ranch), dairy (buttermilk ranch, coleslaw), and sesame seeds or sesame oil. Bulgogi also contains soy. Always inform your server of any allergies before ordering.

How is Korean Tacos different from Bao Buns at Bonchon?+

Both use a soft wrapper with Korean protein, but they are very different. Bao Buns use a steamed white bun with pork belly, chicken, or bulgogi. Korean Tacos use a flour tortilla with spicy chicken or bulgogi. Tacos have more toppings (5 vs 4 in bao) and a distinctly Mexican-Korean fusion flavor. Bao Buns are softer and richer; Tacos are lighter and more layered.
