Coreanos

Coreanos combines Korean food with tacos, quesadillas and loaded fries at 172 Brighton Avenue. A kimchi quesadilla brings cheese, kimchi and a choice of protein together in a flour tortilla. Kimchi fritas puts the fermented cabbage over fries with cheese, sauces and an egg. These are substantial dishes in their own right, rather than just sides to a rice bowl.

The menu also includes Korean fried chicken, bibimbap, kimbap and grilled meats such as bulgogi. Vegetable dumplings and vegetarian kimbap give you alternatives to the meat dishes. For a mixed order, try a rice dish alongside one of the Korean-Mexican combinations. The Allston restaurant offers pickup and delivery; choose this branch when ordering, since Coreanos also has a separate location in Framingham.
