| I was hoping at Costco, but I didn't see any last time I went. If it's in Iteawon I probably won't bother taking the trip, though. |

foreign food market in itaewon has it, just make sure they ring it up at the price marked, they have a bad habit of overcharging people.
also think high street market has it but they are overpriced |

| Homeplus carries Tesco brand seasoning that is tolerable. |

Does it say taco seasoning on it? I never thought HomePlus would have it. Where did you see it in the store? |

| If you plan on eating tacos a lot, you might be better to just get some cumin and chili powder. Most taco seasoning is absolutely dominated by the flavor of cumin anyway, and a jar of cumin would provide a lot more tacos than those little packets of flavoring would. |

I fetched/have people bring chipotle chili powder from the US and throw some in with ingredients that are easier to obtain locally (such as cumin). I'm sure if you're not fussy, you could just use some normal chili powder instead. I believe it's based off of a chili seasoning mix, but it might have been a burrito seasoning mix, and I just looked at a few recipes online and used the common ingredients/ratios. Way better than the packet stuff.
Most import markets should also have the packet stuff. There's probably such a store closer to wherever you live, so unless you're going to be in Seoul anyway, might be worth looking into that. |

It's actually "Mexican Style Seasoning." It does the trick just fine, but making your own seasoning, as suggested by someone else, leads to far better outcomes. It's not quite Old El Paso either, which says a lot considering the quality of Old El Paso!
Homepluses do not always have the same layout, but my local one first had it in the little import section, then with other seasonings, and then next to the dressings/sauces/condiments. |

Now that's what I'm talking about! I notice the website is ezshopkorea, but the tab says Costco. This is Costco delivery?
Does Costco carry these seasonings or are they just for delivery only? |

Thanks, I'll stop by and check it out next time I'm there. |

I've never seen them at Costco but maybe they have them at Costco down south. I've only visited the Costcos around Seoul. |
