Nice Mexican food with vegan options

I really enjoyed the food and the mood of the place. The owner said they had more vegan/vegetarian options but there was not enough demand to sustain it.

Tasty mexican food

The food was amazing, it is the best mexican restaurant I've ever visited in Korea so far.
It's sad the app doesn't let me rate them with 5 stars.

Only 1 option

Vegan tacos are the only option and it's just guacamole, salsa, pineapple.

Some black beans or soy meat would be a great addition.

Is tasty, but very expensive for what you get.

Nice vegan taco s

Like another review mentioned, the only vegan thing on the map is vegan tacos. I kind of expected hard shell tacos, but the tacos were soft, thats why I didn't give it 4 stars, but maybe traditionally, tacos are soft. I did really like the combination of ingredients and the people were super lovely! I noticed that the woman working there spoke English, korean and I think Spanish(???) as well. The interior design really suited the menu :).

Pros: The people are lovely, Nice taste combination

Cons: Only 1 vegan option, also 1 vegetarian option

Just ok

The menu changed so there’s only one vegan/vegetarian menu (vegan tacos). It tasted ok but it came out so cold and it took a very long time to come out.

Pros: Nice vibe, Beautiful restaurant

Cons: Cold food, Food preparation time

It was okay

They only had one vegan option other than guacamole-tacos vegan. And it seemed like they took away the soy meat option. It was just some guacamole, tomatoes, onions and a slice of pineapple with salsa roja. And they charge extra 500won for cilantro. And I needed to pay 1,500won extra to make it a bit spicier. It was not good value for money, but the spot has cool vibe, friendly staffs and a clear vegan option.

Fantastic place with soy meat options

This is a fantastic place. Everything had a vegan option and the food was delicious. Very fresh. Owner speaks Korean English and Spanish so it’s easy to order.

Pros: Best guacamole I’ve ever had. , Corn tortillas (hard to find)

Mexico in Jeonju - 5 STARS!

When I first saw this place under construction in Jeonju I couldn't wait. Now that's it's open I am happy to say it exceeds my expectations!

Finding Mexican food in Korea can be a challenge, so finding such a traditional place outside of Seoul felt like I had won the lottery! The place is co-owned by a Korean and a Mexican couple, and they do everything wonderfully. The menu is extremely vegetarian and vegan friendly, and I find that everything there is worth trying.

My boyfriend (vegetarian) always goes for the chilaquiles, an egg dish made with tortillas and tomato sauce. Personally, I go between the tacos and torta, just depending on my mood. Most of the vegan fillings are the same, so you're mostly changing the way in which it is served. I love the way the filling is sweet (pineapple) and savory, though some of my friends have told me they don't like cooked pineapple like I do! Haha.

In any case, you MUST order the house-made jalapeños (picked chiles) if you like spicy food. They are UNREAL and I always find myself eating multiple servings of it when I come. They are made using the owner's grandmother's recipe, so I truly feel like I'm back home when I eat them. I also love drinking margaritas here as they line the rim with a spicy salt (Lucas/Tajin) which takes it to the next level.

The restaurant is located in the shopping district of Jeonju and features a lovely renovated pair of buildings separated by a great patio.

Hablan espanol tambien!

Pros: delcious food, cool atmosphere, friendly owners

Cons: expensive
