Aside from the occasional hole-in-the-wall taco places or overpriced restaurants, there are not really a lot of choices when you're craving for Mexican food in Seoul.
Tomatillo Grill has already gotten some buzz for offering Mexican favorites like burritos, tacos and quesadillas at affordable prices.
With its bright red sign at the first floor of Alpha Building along Jongno street, you can't miss Tomatillo Grill. Once you go inside, you can immediately line up and choose your order from the menu over the counter.
The menu includes tacos (3,800 won), burritos (6,800 won), quesadillas (6,800 won), and tostada (5,500 won). You can choose what kind of meat you want: beef steak, beef bulgogi, chicken, pork pineapple, fish, vegetarian, or egg, bacon, cheese and potatoes.
We tried the burrito with pork pineapple, which was packed with rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, salsa and sour cream. It was delicious and filling, but some pork bits were tough to chew.
