Best Mexican restaurant in Seoul - Edit
This is the best and the most authentic Mexican restaurant I have been to in Seoul. They have a mushroom and soy option for almost the entire menu and they also offer vegan cheese. Delicious food and a lot of great options to choose from and the portions are generous. Definitely recommend going here!

So many options! - Edit
This place has excellent vegan variety, with a knowledgeable staff and stacking choices — you can get each of the many vegan options with mushrooms or soy, and there’s vegan cheese if that’s your preference, too. The beans and rice are good, and there’s something for everyone. The upstairs portion (which houses a full bar that can also do mocktails) also has evening entertainment if you’re interested, including trivia nights, drag shows, and even wrestling.

Delicious vegan options - Edit
I ate here in 2019, and it was delicious! I had their nachos, enchiladas, and tacos. They used soy steak and coconut based cheese. I forgot to take a photo of the tacos. I recommend it!

Vegetarian and vegan Mexican options - Edit
The quesadilla meal with vegan steak is excellent. We opted for beans and rice as the side, but you could also choose French fries. Pina colada and mango chilli margaritas were also delicious

Was ok-good - Edit
Probably wouldn’t go again because the food was too oily. Good portion size and friendly service. Love the atmosphere because it has great seating as well with open space. Love the fact they have vegan cheese and that they’ve been one of the first to have plant based options. Nevertheless the food was a bit to bland and veggies were stir fried in way too much oil #Veganuary

Vegan options are good but check your food! - Edit
This is a normal solidy good mexican place that became enlightened years ago so expanded their menu to include vegan versionsm They worked hard to make sure the dishes taste great and have vegan cheese and plant-based meat.
Read moreJust make sure you double check they use vegan ingredients. I recently ordered a dish vegan, server confirmed it vegan but it showed up at table stuffed with chicken, not the soy meat I know they use. Server insisted he put in the order correctly as vegan. They made a new one but many people might not have known what the soy meat they use looks like and would have eaten the shredded chicken thinking it was vegan.

Best Mexican in Seoul but - Edit
The food here is really good. Its definitely the closed to authentic that we can get here as a vegan, and the variety of the menu is a big plus. The enchiladas are definitely the best item on the menu. Burrito and margaritas are also good choices.
Read moreThe major issue is that the owner or this place is incredibly rude to his staff and customers. If he is present you will usually hear him yelling at his staff. The other staff members are always friendly and accommodating.

A taste of home away from home - Edit
I was lucky enough to be introduced to Taco amigo by some fellow veg friends. It's not authentic Mexican food but more like the Tex-Mex that you can get back in America. I've been several times and have not been disappointed ever.

A bit disappointing. - Edit
I was really excited to try this place as I was severely craving a taste of home (s/o to my fellow Mexicans!), but it was really underwhelming. The salsa tasted more like a spaghetti/tomato sauce and the beans were made with too much black pepper. The guacamole wasn’t bad, but definitely could use more squeezed lime to give it that slight tang it’s supposed to have. The rice wasn’t bad either! The saving grace of the meal though was definitely the soy vegan quesadilla! Despite it being haphazardly thrown into the box, it tasted marvelous! The cheese was the best vegan cheese I’ve tasted, along with the soy meat, jalapeños, onions, and I think it had potatoes too. I believe it’s supposed to come with sour cream too, but I don’t think they make a vegan version of sour cream so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, even though I was a little disappointed, I understand it’s probably hard to get authentic Mexican ingredients out here so I won’t place blame and I’m willing to try the restaurant again, though I may just stick to the quesadilla only next time around hahaha.
Read morePros: Lots of things can be made vegan if you ask!, Portion is filling and not too pricey.
Cons: Food is okay., Presentation isn’t a priority.

Vegan friendly but not understanding - Edit
Will not visit again. First time when we asked for vegan cheese, we didn’t get vegan cheese. We thought we should try again, and this time when we asked for quesadilla with just cheese, they said it was not possible. Our kids can’t eat the spice that’s in the mushroom or tofu. We would have paid extra for just cheese quesadilla. We ended up cancelling order and going to another restaurant. Lost our business for lack of customer service.

Delicious burritos - Edit
The meals are super big and not too expensive since it is in itaewon (14.500 won for a big burrito meal). You could choose any meal with vegan soy steak and vegan cheese which is great! Only downside: the sour cream wasn't vegan but the burrito was very tasty anyway.
