Red Curry Chicken if memory serves. Aesthetically more pleasing than tasting. Salt dominated the flavors.

Wasabi Brisket taco. Braised Pork taco. Both tacos were in dire need of kick ass salsa to liven up the Midwest bland preparation, and Tacopocalypse provides some kick ass salsa at the condiment station.

Bulgogi Burrito. This is not a Chipotle sized burrito but it fills an empty stomach. This one has some wonderful Asian flavors and worthy of the Tacopocalypse name but the cook was heavy handed in salting the sauce. A runny egg of course always makes food taste even better.

3 stars
