I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door. – Marla Gibbs

Today, I'm reviewing my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Seoul! And no, it's not just because I'm tight with this local family that operates this amazing fusion of Korean-Mexican food! The family of four opened this restaurant just down the street from where I live and over time I've got to know their daughter, Alex aka Britches, and she a genuine homie and I love going into their restaurant. Obviously the food is amazing from photos and most recently they've added tacos, which I've been begging them to add!
The entire current menu is listed below for those that are curious about the food options and prices. The atmosphere is very inviting as it does both eat-in and take-out service along with delivery! Unlike many Korean restaurants, this one has a both a clean bathroom and a Western toilet, lol. There are about seven or eight tables and can hold a capacity of about 15-20 people. I truly enjoy coming here, even just to hang out and shoot the breeze with Alex, since her parent's don't speak much English. Just yesterday, I was teasing her about how I love the fact that they have a TV projector and pretty much 99.9% of the time it's on Cartoon Network! I asked her if she watched every watched anything else? And she said, "hey, this is MY restaurant and I don't care that I'm an adult that loves watching cartoons, i't s MY RESTAURANT." All I could do is laugh!

This is also considered a self-serve restaurant with cups for free filtered drinking water and even the infamous Thai Siracha Sauce upon request. It's not intimidating to foreigners as even if Alex isn't working—as she always tends to hook it up with larger portions and/or even discounts for me, especially since my roommate Jacob was not only their very first customer, but he's now become infamous as having his own item on the menu the "Jacob's Bowl" or Bulgogi Bowl. I've still harassed Alex as to when I'm going to get my own combo or item named after T-ROY on their menu! Maybe this blog will help. WINK WINK!
