Carnitas tacos at Eatus Mexican Grill in Seoul, South Korea. (Christopher Green, Stripes Korea)
In a city as large and vibrant as Seoul, there’s always something new and exciting waiting around every corner. One of the best parts about visiting Seoul is that there is something for everyone, especially when it comes to food. The variety that you find in the city seems endless. Which is how I found “Eatus Mexican Grill”.
Eatus is a Tex-Mex restaurant that I found right down the street from the “Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Station” in Seoul. As I was walking down the street there were a bunch of shops, cafes, and restaurant but nothing caught my eye until I saw a large red banner with “Eatus Mexican Grill” in bold letters. It had pictures of different Tex-Mex dishes, and the smell of grilled steak fajitas was beckoning me.
The restaurant was on the top floor of a tall building, two blocks from the station, once I stepped out of the elevator to get to there I was met with a huge lit “Eatus” sign. When I went inside the seating area I was blown away by the décor. It was very high-class.
I was immediately approached by a waitress, and they escorted me to a seat by myself which was surprising because it was filled with students from the university and people on their lunch. I sat down and my waitress greeted me with complementary water and a tablet that customers use to order their food. The menu on the tablet was in English and Korean to make it easier.
Everything on the menu looked amazing so I asked for two orders of “Carnitas tacos”. I should’ve asked for one order because the tacos they brought looked amazing. The tacos had Pico de gallo a spicy green sauce and marinated beef. It was delicious, each bite was spicy, but it wasn’t overwhelming. The Pico de gallo and salsa were very fresh.
If you are looking for a place to eat that is delicious, and healthy, then “Eatus Mexican Grill” is for you.
