The Tacos Mexican Grill is the latest Mexican offering I’ve come across in Seoul. It’s located in Gangnam around the corner from Harlem and NB. I have to say it’s in a great location even with Dos Tacos not too far off and Taco Rico just a ways across the street. It’s like a Mexican…
In Seoul there’s always a surprise just waiting around the next corner. Ian and I ventured out to Hongdae intending on stopping by Goulash and Bread but instead became sidetracked.

I had resigned myself to places that serve up burritos that look the part but taste bland or other restaurants that dazzle you with colorful sombreros and piñatas or fruity margaritas in a…
Move over Dos Tacos Tomatillo Grill has become my favorite new Mexican restaurant in Seoul. They’ve been around a few months now and my friend Rebecca and I finally managed to make the trek to Jongno to check the place out. I’m so glad we did! The best part ot Tomatillo is that they use…
