Visit Las Vegas: Best Friend at Park MGM

Family style at Best Friend

I've walked past Best Friend before and it definitely looks like a good time so I was excited to dine at the restaurant from Chef Roy Choi. Best Friend opened in 2018 at the Park MGM featuring Choi's famous Korean tacos from his popular LA food truck, Kogi.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were lucky to be seated at the Chef's table located inside the kitchen. I actually preferred the bright table over the vibey club atmosphere of the main restaurant. We started off with the delicious house bread and shared the banchan sampler. For our meal we shared the korean wings, kimchi fried rice, kogi short rib tacos, and slippery shrimp. The dishes were all outstanding with the tacos and wings being the table favorites. 

The restaurant is such a vibe. Definitely a fun time with friends!

Visit Sacramento: Flamita de Oaxaca Tacos

Driving to the hotel we saw a tent with lights on the sidewalk. As we drove past, we noticed it was a food tent, so we found parking in the adjacent Walmart lot.

The Flamita de Oaxaca Tacos food tent was offering street tacos.  I was already full from a feast at Liholiho Yacht Club, but my friend decided to indulge.

We saw a few other families there (at 10pm at night!), so we knew it must be good.  

The Al Pastor tacos were just $3 a piece. The meat and pineapple was cooked right there on a spit, with a slew of condiments to add - salsa, onions, etc.

My friend enjoyed the tacos, and at $3 a piece, with all the condiments you want to add, you can't go wrong!  He liked the spice and really appreciated the authenticity.  

Follow them at @flamitadeoaxaca_tacos to find out where and when they'll be popping up!
