You may remember Toro Burger, the Santa Ana burger joint that earlier this year started selling a copy of Keizo Shimamoto original (and trademarked) Ramen Burger. Now they're expanding the menu to include something they're calling Bao Tacos.
What are Bao Tacos? Well, they're TBNO (Tacos By Name Only); actually soft, steamed bao buns stuffed with either Angus steak marinated Korean BBQ, spicy pork, grilled chicken, or BBQ pork belly.

And, yes, like their Ramen Burger-inspired Noodle Burger, Toro's Bao Tacos aren't a new concept, even when David Chang's Momofuku started making all sorts of news with his version.

KOREAN MARINATED BEEF, TEMPURA ONION FRIES, SRIRACHA AIOLI
SPICY PORK
