Anyone know a decent Mexican Restaurant in Busan? I want an enchilada real bad.

Someone steered me to one in Seoul, and it sucked big time. They used velveeta slices for the cheese.

If someone knows a good spot, directions from the nearest subway stop would be greatly appreciated.

Sweet. Thanks.

For others searching, here's the goods and directions. It is one of the places talked about in the second poster's post.

Quote:
The place was "Taco Chili Chili" when it opened in June but it turns out that name was taken so he had to change it, it's now "Taco al Puebla".

It's located near the Megabox. Go out the rightside of the sFunz ("sponge") shopping mall entrance, at the 7-Eleven side, and head toward the beach. You'll see KT Plaza on your immediate right and two blocks further a "Beauty Zone" on your right. Stop at the "Beauty Zone" and go down the alley/narrow retail walkway on your left there. Can't miss it!

There is also a new restaurant that opened up in Seomyan called "Taco Loco". It's down the street that Miller Time is on if you are going away from Judies. It has more a restaurant feel to it than the taco guy in Haundae and the cooks are actually authentic Mexicans.

So I ate at Taco Loco in Seomyeon. It was great! The tacos are very authentic. When I say that I mean Mexican style, not Mexican American style (not like a family Mexica restaurant in the states, more like those really good Mexican joins in CA, AZ, and TX).

I'd say the quality of the other entrees is about average for the USA, which makes it over the top awesome for Korea. Started with a shot of Cuervo and a bottle of Corona, for old time's sake. Had enchiladas, burritos, tacos, and they were all tasty. Oh, the carne asada is good too.

Its a little hard to find, and the directions weren't incredibly helpful, but we got there eventually.

where is the taco loco at man? Really could go for some good chile relleno and some horchata. By the way for anyone who's wondering there's a place up north in dongducheon. there's also some turkish kebab places there
