Good food

Guess it won’t let me put 5 stars as not vegan, but has both vegan and vegetarian options, friendly and helpful staff, and food hits the spot! Sorry forgot to take pics before digging in 🤣🤣

Rude staff but worth it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can’t speak the best korean (I am actively studying, and have been here a few months so I have a basic understanding) but I try my best and I found it quite difficult to communicate with the staff and even though nobody else was in the line they were getting very frustrated and rushing me when I was trying my best to communicate what I did and didn’t want in my burrito. Tbh it was a bit strange (my first experience where someone was rude because of my lack of Korean skills) they were getting quite upset with me I couldn’t understand why and why there was a such a rush because I was the only person in the store 🤣. But staff aside in my opinion it taste identical to chipotle😄the tofu was identical to sofritas only difference was the guac wasn’t as tasty in my opinion. But I would definitely go back!! If I found myself craving chipotle.

Pros: Very comforting and familiar tasting food

Cons: Guac is + $3.50!

Nice option

Customize your own meal per taste. It was a decent option considering there aren’t many other options near Myeongdong. Easy to find, good chips, and yummy enough.

Pros: Customizable , Vegan friendly

Good vegan option

Tofu option was great, very similar concept to a Tortilla.

Decent sustenance

Tried once thus far---it was light, whole foods, fiberful, and colorful. Not gourmet, but it seems a reliable feed for those in need.

We had a burrito, and the burrito bowl- tacos also looked good. Three kinds of rice including cauliflower rice, a couple kinds of beans, various veg, tofu, greens and tortilla, with a couple varieties of salsa. We got there at the end of the day but it was still fresh. It's set up like a subway sandwich shop, as in you choose your own options and they scoop them up for you. They had a few tasty looking drink options, too. Will go again if in the neighborhood

Pros: Clean eating , Nutritious , Very close to the cinecube art cinema

Tasty!!

When craving mexican food, it hits the spot. It's also a nice option in an area that's pretty sparce for vegan restaurants. I had the burrito bowl. The meat free option is tofu and it's really tasty. Overall it was filling enough although not massively filling. I'd like to try the other options next time. They still offered me cheese even though I said I was vegan so just be clear with what sides/toppings you want/don't want.

Pros: Great option in the area

Cons: Portions are not that big

Easy Mexican food

Had a burrito with all the ingredients as mentioned as vegan. Is good and not expensive (8k won).
The stuff understood my request for vegan ingredients only.

Pros: Fair price

Cons: Expensive guacamole additional

Very delicious

They know vegan and tell you what you can choose. I had tacos with extra guacamole and it was really delicious!
Cauliflower rice is promoted as plant-based, need to try it next time.
Store is in the food court in B1 underground!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, You can choose your ingredients individually

Oasis in dry area for vegans

This location of Cuchara has saved me many times during lunch in this area. Their tofu option is a reliable healthy vegan meal that is always better than I expect it to be, because it looks like a bland fast food set up. I would love to give them more stars but the options are just not enough, even if what they have is good.

Staff confirmed cauliflower rice is vegan

Pros: Tofu option is good

Cons: Limited options
