El Pino 323 엘피노323

El Pino 323 is a Mexican restaurant on the first floor of 76 Godeokgalpyeong 9-gil in Pyeongtaek. A chef raised in East Los Angeles prepares tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and rice bowls, with tortillas and salsas made at the restaurant. Al pastor tacos use sliced pork seasoned with Mexican chile, grilled, and topped with roasted pineapple. Carnitas begins with long-cooked pork that is pulled apart, returned to the grill, and finished with cilantro and chopped onion. Carne asada uses choice-grade flat iron steak trimmed, seasoned, grilled, and cut into eating-size pieces. Chorizo combines minced pork with a spicy Mexican seasoning before it is browned. The shrimp taco places a large seasoned grilled shrimp beneath guacamole and pico de gallo. Pico de gallo is a fresh mixture of chopped tomato, onion, and cilantro, while guacamole mashes ripe avocado with vegetables and lime. Chicken salsa verde enchiladas wrap seasoned chicken and cheese in corn tortillas, bake them in the oven, and add a green salsa. A brisket enchilada uses seasoned beef and chile de arbol sauce. Both are plated with Mexican lemon-lime rice, elote corn with cheese, cilantro and onion, and sour cream. Rice bowls layer lemon-lime rice with sour cream, Mexican cheese, meat, black beans, and other toppings. East LA-style burritos enclose cheese, rice, black beans, sour cream, onion, and a selected meat in a flour tortilla. A larger taco spread can place pork, steak, chicken, or shrimp beside chips, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, onions, rice, beans, and hot sauce. The dining room uses orange and dark wall colors, graffiti-style artwork, posters, photographs, and collected signatures. Tables stand across a single ground-floor room, with the salsa dishes, chips, taco plates, and larger enchilada plates occupying separate pieces of tableware.
