I'm trying to write up clear directions to this mexican place and the map from their site and a Naver map doesn't make it very clear, and I'm not able to be there to snoop around to confirm, for another few months.

If any Bundang-ites who are familiar with the area that its in, can you let me know how to get there from Exit 5 of Seohyeon Stn, assuming that my directions are not right?
PS. Not sure if this guy is referring to the same place or not:

you come out of the subway you can only go two ways..
if the cafe is not out the doors on the first go, go back and try the other direction..its right there by outside the doors on the right! |

Leave exit 5 and turn left at Pascucci (on the left).
it's down a short alley. |

| Thanks. So, according to their website, they mention that they are in the basement of CoCo Plaza. Is that correct? |

It's by the Samsung plaza / Seoyeon Station (sp?) You want to exit Samsung plaza and take the alley on your left after Chrispy Cream donuts. There you will find an entrance to the Mexican restaurant...
...and why you would want to eat there is beyond me. It's not real Mexican food and the quality is substandard. |

Yes, out the door of Samsung Plaza.
Look to your immediate left.
Look for the Krispy Kream donut shop on your left. If you don't see the Krispy Kreme (but can see a KFC on your right) you should turn around, do a 180 and go out the other side of Samsung Plaza.
It is about 30 meters farther down on the same side as Krispy Kreme. They have a display case outside to show some of their "specialties".

It's better than Taco Bell, but not authentic by any means. Almost reminded me of one of those Fusion restaurants.
Your best bet for authentic Mexican food is in Itaewon or other parts of Seoul. To be honest, I'm a big fan of Mexican and Indian food and I haven't been able to find that much by way of Mexican food--but I know if it exists, it doesn't exist in Bundang. Your best bet is Itaewon. |

It pretty much is a fusion restaurant. Seafood spaghetti is one of their biggest sellers, and I don't see much Mexican in that.
The interior is awesome, though, and it's a great place to take a date if you don't mind the inauthentic menu -- or their lazy staff -- too much. |

My favourite restaurant in Bundang is the Salem vegetarian restaurant. I forget exactly where it is (close to expensive stuff), but it was quite possibly the best vegetarian restaurant I've been to in my life. It's a buffet, responably priced, and stocked in both traditional vegetarian meals, imitation meat food (the vegetarian Bulgogi is great), Korean-vegetarian food and interesting stuff which I haven't seen before.
The atmosphere is really good too... good music, quiet, very clean and the staff is extremely friendly. Even if you're not a vegetarian, if you can find the place I'd recommend going.
I'll update this with an address... |

Oh, I've seen the Thai place when I went into Salem. Is it really worth trying? Maybe we'll go there next time instead.
That place must be the building of awesome restaurants. |
