I got the bulgogi, pork belly, and spicy pork tacos. The bulgogi and spicy pork tacos were great. Perfect flavor and the sauce they came with added the right amount of spice. The pork belly taco was pretty good. The pork belly was cooked well and had great flavor. My only complaint is it didn't have nearly as much meat as the other two.

Free chips and salsa as soon as you sit down :) Tried all 4 of the fusion tacos (Bulgogi, spicy pork, pork belly. Galbi) Honestly they kinda all taste pretty similar except for the galbi taco which was my favorite. I came by pretty early in the afternoon so I'm not sure if they have happy hour specials but they serve a refreshing frozen margarita that I reccomend! Cute hip interior, I can't wait to come back and try some the other menu items! Thank you Kathy for the quick attentive service!

After my haircut, I needed to find dinner and this was literally in my direction. There's lots of parking in the lot to come and have drinks and a taco. I entered this new establishment to my pleasure and amazement. It's a tiny nook with a great ambiance and a HUGE selection of drinks.They have a very simple but great menu. I ordered food to go and it literally took 10 minutes (note: not very busy when I arrived so it can take longer if busier). I got home, opened everything up, and was very pleased with my selections. The tortilla chips are standard chips, very good, crunchy, and well salted.The Birria tacos are amazing!!!! The drive home made the other tacos soft due to the moisture from the heat they gave off and breaking down the tacos. The Birria tacos held their own and are one of my favorite tacos now.I will definitely come back for drinks and tacos. I do recommend this place for small gatherings, dates, or even solo. The prices are moderate ($$) per person. I cannot direct compare to Taco Picoso, but they are great if you're in Annandale.

Originally came to the area for the hot pot next door but my fiancee and I noticed this place. Us being Korean and Mexican we had to try a Korean Mexican fusion spot. We are so happy we did!The food is SOOOO delicious and flavorful. The pork belly and spicy pork tacos are so good I had to order seconds. The tamales are really good as well, very reasonably priced. The elote is a must! And if you're in the mood for a good drink get a Blue Motorcycle, $16 but worth it. My waitress didn't lie when she said it was strong as I was definitely feeling it lol.Plan to come here at least once a month from now on.

Extremely average tacos. We ordered grilled shrimp, spicy shrimp, cod, spicy pork, and the pork belly. The spicy pork was very spicy. Pork belly was bland/dry and could use more sauce. Cod could also use more sauce as there was little/no flavor. Shrimp tacos were probably the best ones. Claims to be korean-mexican fusion but didn't taste much Korean flavor.All tacos have corn tortillas , but they only put one tortilla on the taco and they rip easy. We also got chips and salsa and the salsa was fully relying on red onion for flavor.Good happy hour drink deals, lasts from 4-8. Local draft beers were like ~$3. I got the mango margarita ($6hh) and it was very average, rim was chamoy.Plenty of indoor seating, not too busy, staff wear masks.Vegetarian options was limited to bibimbap. Mexican coke available.

Good tacos. Had the burrito. It was decent. Still have more to try here. Good fusion

This place was better than I thought it would be. We ordered 6 things and everything was very tasty. The Ramen with spicy pork was my personal favorite. The Birria tacos, spicy shrimp tacos, and bulgoki tacos were all amazing too. Just a couple suggestions for the restaurant.. a little less sauce on the spicy shrimp taco. It was soggy and falling apart before I could even eat it. Also the restaurant is super bright. I kept thinking how much more the atmosphere would improve if they'd dim the lights a little bit kinda like taco rock. But other than that it was great.

All four of us enjoyed our lunches - Spicy Pork and BulGoKi tacos, Ssam Box with BulGoKi, Tamale, and Burrito. But the Ssam Ramen with Spicy Pork was the dish we all want to go back for.

Just started working nearby for about a week and I've already eaten here 3 times. Tried some tacos and sopes and a couple drinks and have loved everything. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the staff is beyond friendly, and the food is priced lower than i would have ever expected something that delicious to taste.

The Korean tacos are really good!! especially the ones with kimchi on them. I think they do the korean fusion well, but need to work on the Mexican side. The enchiladas we had had no flavor :( it was a shame because the tacos were so good.
