PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Korea Taqueria is a restaurant and food truck that serves a fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisine.

Owners Alexander Sherack and Rene Lopez created the menu by paying homage to their Korean and Hispanic heritage.

Sherack is from Australia with a Korean heritage and head chef Lopez's Hispanic heritage comes from Mexico.

Sharing a love for their mother's home-cooked meals, they found similarities in the peppers they cook with from their culture.

They started as a food cart in 2022, attending different breweries and festivals; and in 2023 they opened their first brick-and-mortar in Grays Ferry.

Some of their popular items consist of the Korean Birria Taco, Kimchi Cheese Fries, Quesadillas, and their Korean style cheesesteak using bulgogi beef.

For a refreshing drink they crafted a homemade watermelon agua fresca. Korean Taqueria also has vegan options.

Both chefs used to be food truckers and met at a shared kitchen. After deciding to work together, they now have a food truck trav
