Summary:
Unico means one-of-a-kind in Spanish and that is exactly what Michelin-starred chef Suvir Saran is hoping you will think of his global tacos at this spot in Long Island City. From Lima comes shrimp marinated in citrus with a jicama-mango-cabbage slaw. Incheon brings Korean-style beef with spicy kimchi and a gochujang salsa verde. In a salute to Mexico City, there is adobo-pomegranate pork with pineapple and grilled onion salsa as Chef Saran draws inspiration from a dozen different cities from around the world. You can enjoy this tour one bite at a time.
