Chico Mexican Food is a Tex-Mex restaurant in Gunsan, Jeonbuk, where a foreign chef handles the cooking, delivering tacos and burritos that taste close to what diners would find at an authentic stateside taqueria. The chicken taco is a particular standout, and the burrito comes generously stuffed with ground beef, fries, and rice, one is enough for a full meal without needing sides. The nachos are another highlight, with a level of execution that earns committed repeat orders from returning visitors. The hot sauce is made in-house with well-balanced seasoning that complements the tacos without overpowering them, and extra cilantro is provided generously in a small bowl on request. Quesadillas round out the menu, ensuring coverage of all the essential Tex-Mex categories in one place. Dietary accommodations are handled with impressive care: vegetarian orders get soy-based meat substitutions with sour cream removal, and vegan options are available for most items including burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, though vegan orders with soy meat require a phone call one hour before arrival so the kitchen can prepare accordingly. A Korean staff member explains the menu clearly and guides first-time visitors through the ordering process with patience. International customers are a regular presence, drawn by the authenticity of the food. Most menu items fall under 10,000 won, keeping the price point very reasonable for the quality delivered. Pet-accompanied visits are possible during quieter hours.
