Mexican Seoul

We enjoyed this food while playing trivia at Project 9. There was a huge crowd and the online ordering for the food truck worked really well! We tried lots of items. Chips with guacamole and queso, tacos with the pork, chicken, and beef, a bowl, and a burrito. The sauce options were really yummy, along with the garnish bar. Everything was delicious!

Really good, just long wait and kinda goofy ordering system. Super pricey. Tacos were good, didnt vibe all the way with the cheesiest one (cant remember the name). But yeah good spot.

The good: The condiment bar + Gringa Taco The bad: The Korrito The ugly: The ordering experience Taking Kenji's very high recommendation, I decided to try this place out on my night off from baby duties. I was about 30 seconds away from leaving disappointed, but was able to finally complete my order. But first, the condiment bar was far and away the star of the show. Typically, you wouldn't think a burrito truck's condiment bar would be anything to write home about, but this was on another level. It was almost like a self-serve kiosk of side dishes you would find at a Korean restaurant. There was cucumber salad, picked daikon, pickled cabbage, jalapenos, kimchi pico de gallo, and about 4 different kinds of sauces. I sampled each of them. They were all very delicious! The Kimchi Gringa Taco was as tasty as Kenji said it was. The caramelized kimchi and cheese was the perfect balance to the savory Al Pastor. My only gripe: the meat was a little burnt to my taste. I would have preferred it with a little less char. Because the meat was so charred, I ended up throwing out a bit of it in an effort to avoid the carcinogens. I also ordered the Korrito, which wasn't very good. It was a bit flavorless and lacked in variety. I definitely did not taste the caramelized kimchi or pickled cabbage. It tasted more like a just plain rice wrapped in a tortilla. It's harsh, I know, but I thought the burrito you'd get Chipotle would probably have been better. The ordering experience was so uniquely terrible that I almost went home without ordering. It makes no sense to have a virtual "line", where only one person can place an order at a time. The whole point of ordering online is to streamline the ordering process. So if I have to sit there refreshing the page for 15 minutes until I am "first" in line, that completely defeats the purpose of ordering online. It's one thing to say, "we have a lot of orders, so your food might take a while", but it's a whole other thing to say "we have a lot of orders, so please refresh the page until you can order." My advice: remove the queue and take the orders. Having a notice "food will be ready in X minutes" is sufficient warning to customers if you are busy. There is no reason to have 2 virtual queues. All-in-all, it was a decent experience. If you were to ask me, I think Kenji was a bit too nice in recommending Mexican Seoul. I may come back one day, but this definitely will not be my go-to burrito truck anytime soon.

Amazing combinations of flavors. Korean/Mexican mashup works well. Every bit I took was delicious. Meats were perfectly cooked. Outstanding.

Really loved our korritos!!! The salsa bar is also amazing. We ordered to go and they were ready quickly and the staff was awesome. Can’t wait to come back.

This place is absolutely amazing and I love it. I would recommend the Bibim bowl. It was so good I was trying not to eat it before the picture. Also the vampiro taco is my favorite. The best protein in my opinion is the al paskor it is so so so good.

Overall: Great! First of all, Taqueria Puebla is phenomenal, so we were super excited to try this place out. The food was really good, and mixed mexican and korean food very together!

Oh golly, these were worth the wait!! We came around 1:45 on a Saturday and only dine-in online orders were being taken. Make sure you join the online ordering queue ASAP to reduce your wait time (and order a delicious drink from Project 9 while you're at it!) The flavors were so rich and tasty, 3 tacos was almost too much food! And the selection of toppings and salsas was so generous and satisfying, but hard to choose from! Their handy dandy suggestions were so helpful. Cannot wait to come back again!

Ordered the Kalbi asado vampiro taco and it was amazingly delicious! Had a hiccup or two trying to order via the QR code but it will be easy next time. Helps to read ALL the instructions. The value for food is very good. It would help if I could speak Spanish, has to trust that what I ordered was gluten free, not sure they understood what I was asking. I'll definitely be back to try other items from the menu! Update: came back to try the AlPastor taco. Ordering was so much easier the second time. The taco was fabulous and very generous for only $4. This will be on my regular food purchasing in the future! Kenji was complete correct.

3.5 stars An interesting Mexican-Korean fusion food truck ... with some traditional Mexican food (tacos) and some traditional Korean food (bibimbap). Of course, the best things are the ones the blend the two ... We tried the vampire tacos and the bibim bowl with Kalbi asada -- both were good. Best were the Korean toppings and salsas on top of the tacos, things like kimchi pico de gallo and pickled daikon. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I found the ordering process cumbersome. They ask you to order via a QR code, which then prompts you to enter information - but it didn't work -- and apparently, we weren't alone in having this problem - we then had to order verbally, and have them manually tap the credit card. The whole ordering setup was really quite poor - they should do something different. The food truck shares an eating area (sheltered picnic tables and the like) with Project 9 Brewing -- a good collaboration (good for both).

3.5 stars. Have eaten here a couple times since I live nearby, the concept is great! The food is... fine. Have had a couple bowls, tacos etc. - and nothing has really stood out. The sauces are great -- and they help dress things up -- but I never see myself seeking this place out. Will eat it out of convenience, but that's it.

I'm hot and cold on Mexican Seoul. Mexican/Korean fusion encompasses two of my favorite cuisines, and done well it can be amazing. This is evidenced by their self-serve sauce bar. It's got a wide variety of toppings and salsas for whatever you order, almost like Mexican-inspired banchan. Everything at the sauce bar awesome, and really shows the potential of this place. Unfortunately the rest of the food isn't quite up to par. I had the Korrito, and while I enjoyed it, especially after slathering on salsa verde, there are some ingredient shortcomings. The meat is clearly lower quality, with even the upcharged "kalbi" being tough and sinewy in pieces. The rice is also a bit odd, very small grain, and filling but not in a great way. It was missing some of the kimchi kick I was expecting based on the description. The bowls I would avoid entirely, as the rice to meat/topping ratio is comical. One final downside: the wait time was astronomical, with no warning until the order is placed (orders are taken via QR with no staff interaction). Not a good choice if you're in a hurry. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here. Are there improvements to make? For sure. Will you still enjoy your food? I think so, as long as you don't mind waiting a while and load up at the sauce bar.

I would often drive by this food truck on the way home from work. Luckily some friends also saw it and wanted to try it out. I loved the idea of Mexican and Korean fusion. I got the Kimchi Gringa tacos. The tacos had carmelized kimchi in it and then I chose some pork with Korean flavoring. You can choose your own toppings. It was nice flavoring! The seating area had benches under a covering which was really nice on the warm summer day. The only downside is that you have to order specifically through a QR code. There's no option to order through a real person. I really think they should have that as an option. Other than that a great find and I already know what I'm getting next time.

new-ish food truck in front of project 9 brewing doesn't disappoint and in fact tickles the tastebuds with some great mash ups! since i was taking my order to go, i went for the korrito burrito with the carnitas mushrooms. there's instructions to submit order via the qr code and while i waited i took advantage of some of the great options like soy based marinated jalapeños and onions, carrots and jalapeños in escabeche, kimchee cabbage, pico de gallo, some pretty tasty looking sauces like gochuchang and habanero cream, etc. i may have been the first order of the day, a little shy of noon on a sunny saturday. two workers were there and one who efficiently began creating my burrito once i submitted my order via my phone. i caught his attention and asked that he cut my burrito in half as they were preparing it which he nodded he would do. it became clear when he handed me the burrito in the bag, however, that he hadn't understood my ask so i made an executive decision and switched to spanish, asking that he cut it in half and wrap each half separately so i could eat one half immediately and one later. once i explained what i wanted in spanish, there was zero problem getting it done but know you may need patience and spanish to communicate with them. the taste was great and the absolute mash up of kimchee and rice and beans works so damn well together! i added habanero cream and it was delightfully spicy and filling along with the other ingredients. there's street parking in the general vicinity but coming off the i5 lake city way exit, you're going to need to take that right onto 80th or you'll blaze right by the corner. i bet a lot of neighborhood foot traffic happens later in the day. i didn't stay to eat but the food was memorable enough to make me want to detour again when i'm in the area to try some tacos or one of their fusion bowls also on the menu. i love the concept of these two cuisines cuddling up together in tortillas, large or small. it's genius!

Amazing combinations of flavors. Korean/Mexican mashup works well. Every bit I took was delicious. Meats were perfectly cooked. Outstanding.

Busy! Food was really delicious Korritos tacos and bombing bowl were awesome ! Mimicking and chips with queso!!! Al pastor is the bomb!!! We will be back! Ambiance was great how ever very busy at food area!

good vibes, nice brewery to it, the food came out quick, i got the korrito, it was gasly

The beef was excellent and the toppings were delicious. The chicken was very bland though. Definitely skip.

Fantastic food, some of the best fusion cuisine i ever had! Salsa bar with pickled veggies was delicious. Big portions

The food is good and unique but service is terrible. My phone would not open to the app to order food. Ask if there was any other way to pay and he would not help. Totally refused to help me. Would not even take my credit card. No way to run a business.
