A northern Mexican cuisine restaurant near Achasan Station in Gwangjin-gu, which began as a food truck in 2017 and has since earned a reputation as one of Seoul's top three taco destinations. The signature fish taco features impossibly tender, non-fishy white fish in a thin, crispy batter, served with a distinctive smoky salsa that creates an addictive combination. The beef quesadilla is packed with juicy sirloin and Monterey cheese yet remains remarkably un-greasy, while the papa (potato dish) tops well-cooked potatoes with melted cheese and seasoned beef - equally delicious mashed and mixed together. The birria taco delivers bold, exotic flavors, and sides like guacamole nachos complement the mains well. Drinks including piña colada and margarita add to the full Mexican dining experience. The kitchen's skilled use of cilantro and commitment to authentic northern Mexican cooking techniques set the food apart from typical Korean-adapted Mexican fare. The restaurant seats 26-27 tables with Mexican-inspired decor and well-spaced seating for privacy, but its immense popularity means waits of over an hour are common even on weekdays - arriving at opening (11:30 AM) is strongly recommended. Parking is most convenient at the rear lot of Seoul Children's Grand Park.
