Korean food is great, but – as you can tell from our last Thai food restaurant review – we’re also looking for foreign food. Our hunt for Thai food failed. We can’t find any Mexican places in Bucheon, so last Friday we travelled to Hongdae to try our luck there. We heard about a place called Dos Tacos, which supposedly served really good Mexican food: burritos, nachos, margaritas, tacos, so on and so forth.
Would it be authentic, though, or at least as good as the Mexican food we’re used to from back home? After all, back in Toronto we constantly ate at Bar Burrito or Burrito Bros, and they serve some pretty good stuff. Have our standards been met here at Dos Tacos?
If videos just aren’t your thing, then we’ll spoil it for you right now: Dos Tacos was a big let down. Any burrito with pickles in it just ain’t a burrito to us. The refried beans were kidney beans! Although it tasted good, it just wasn’t Mexican enough for us. What a letdown.

The best Mexican place I've found so far is Tomatillo (http://www.tomatillo.co.kr/main.html). The hot sauce isn't ketchup with Tabasco. That alone should tell you a lot. They use real beans and their rice isn't out of a rice cooker oh and they have real cilantro, jalapenos and sour cream. It's a bit like Chipotle so not a real Mexican Tacoria but still the best Mexican I've had so far. I recommend the carnitas/shredded pork and chicken. The beef in the carne asada is cut up into tiny pieces so it's not the same mouth feel and the fish was just ok leaning towards bad.
I've heard of the place often, but have never been. We'll make sure to check it out. Thanks!
