Loco's BBQ is a Texas-style barbecue restaurant on Gyeongnidan-gil in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, recognized as one of the few places in Korea where diners can experience authentic Texas brisket and smoked meats. The back ribs and other smoked cuts arrive tender and infused with a deep charcoal smokiness, and three house-made sauces at each table, including garlic and Korean spicy variations, allow guests to customize every bite. Unlimited nachos are provided as a complimentary starter, making the wait for the main course enjoyable, while the Havana corn, a side dish combining sweet corn with melted cheese, is a consistent crowd favorite. Reserving through Naver earns a complimentary serving of Havana corn, and the meal is further rounded out by coleslaw, chives, and onion accompaniments that cut through the richness of the meat. Complimentary beverages including coffee and orange juice are available throughout the meal, and ordering a glass of red wine is highly recommended to enhance the smoky depth of the barbecue. Guests staying at the nearby Hyatt receive a ten percent discount. The interior is kept in a dim, atmospheric setting that suits celebratory dinners and special occasions, and staff members are attentive in explaining the menu and suggesting how to best enjoy each dish. One thing to note is that the meat arrives fully cooked without a tabletop heat source, so it gradually cools as the meal progresses. The restaurant can draw significant crowds on weekends and evenings, so advance reservations are strongly advised to avoid waiting.
