Nothing against vegetarians, but trying to find a vegetarian mexican restaurant is quite the endeavor. back home, i knew of one, only ONE mexican place that served vegan and vegetarian (and some meat) dishes, and it was packed with every hipster in the city.

mexican is absolutely a MEAT based cuisine. ever had real mexican where the beans and meat are cooked in, not chicken stock, but LARD? that's the good stuff.

korea at least has a buddhist tradition which helps make a vegetarian's life a bit easier....one might starve in mexico.

ok so last night i tried the mexican joint behind gangnam cgv

it's called urbanos.

it's a bit pricey (9,000 for a burrito), but I liked it better than dos tacos.

there's a mexican guy working the grill so that's was a little reassuring.

Just a quick question ... do any expats living in Seoul eat Korean food anymore?

Yeah, you jerks! How dare you want to eat cuisine that you can get at home! You're not living the real K-Experience! Kimbap and Kalbi every day! Rice for breakfast! Completely disregard how much of Korean food is borrowed from other cultures in the first place!

i eat korean on a near daily basis (kimbap restaurants). if im gonna spend more than 20-30,000 on a meal for two, though, i prefer it to be foreign.

but hey, i never was the "family restaurant" type in america either.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. What a perceptive individual you are proving yourself to be.

Pass the chimichonga.

I try to avoid it on the whole, as generally, it's awful.

You're my new favorite on this board. I can't think of a person who gets more riled up by being called out. You made a snide remark and you got one right back. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.
