May be closing...
The guy's been at it 7 days a week, 13 hours a day for as long as I've been here (last March) and he's finally throwing in the towel. He's a great guy and a hard worker, and has a cult following among many expats in and around La Festa. Make sure to stop by and give him some love before he closes this Thursday. |

| He said he needs 100 customers a day. Since Koreans don't eat enough Mexican food that is an impossibility. He is a great guy. I really like his food. I was just there today. I got a nice burrito. He will know by Thursday if he is leaving. At least, that is what he said. |

Where is this place? I've been all over Ilsan and I've never seen it! On a side note, does anyone know where the Thai restaurant "Arroyo" is?
Cheers |

100 customers a day? How many does he have currently?
...and what's the average price for a meal there? |

| It's located in La Festa, next to Delky's and facing the 1000 won store. It's a booth. |

Actually I haven't been to as much of Ilsan as I thought. I only know the area around Juyeob station. Where is La Festa? |

I went there a couple of nights ago...his last night there and had a couple of the best chicken soft tacos I've had in Korea. Well, anyway, Itaewon's taco joints just got some serious competition. |

100 customers a day ordering a 5,000 won burrito (as an example) when the place is open 6 days a week is $12,000 a month.  |

Maybe it costs a lot to rent a booth at LaFesta.
