Komida’s 12 Tacos of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me … a taco with roasted turkey?? That’s right, baby. Forget the partridge and a pear tree. Putting a fun twist on holiday eating, Komida restaurant is kicking off the “12 Tacos Of Christmas” on Thursday, December 8 and will continue the tasty ode every week until Friday, December 23. The creation of chef Brock Kleweno (you know him from Yamashiro and you know his tacos from Yamashiro’s wildly popular Thursday farmers’ market), the tacos will be served at the just-opened Komida digs in the old HWood space at Hollywood & Highland. If you’ve ever wanted a green bean casserole rolled up in a tortilla or secretly wondered what a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer taco might taste like, consider your foodie wishlist fulfilled.
