Tacos at a Vietnamese restaurant aren’t exactly traditional, but this delectable collision of flavors has created what are now some of our favorite tacos in town. DD Mau swaps tortillas for buttery, crispy roti shells, then loads them up with your choice of protein (we’re partial to the lemongrass-marinated chicken, but the beef, pork and tofu all hold their own) and a colorful mix of pickled veggies, red cabbage, jalapenos and fresh cilantro. This dish nails the balance of savory, spicy, tangy and totally delicious.
