Vatos Tacos, Itaewon South Korea

June 7, 2012 By Tamara


As I said in the first Seoul post, Vatos Tacos needs its own post. This will be short and  sweet so that we can focus on the food. 

3 points. 


1. Its easy to find. Just go to their website. I used the directions from there and had no problems finding it. 

2. The service is not that great. I walked in and there was no greeting. The place is crazy small and it was crowded…because its so small. I wasn’t sure if I should find a seat or order first. So I went to look at the menu. Finally a waitress came up and asked “Can I help you?”. Isn’t it “May I help you?”…English teachers 🙂 
Well clearly I came to eat so I think so. Insert confused face. She fumbled around and then looked at a guy who I assumed is the manager. He had a American accent so I am guessing he is Korean American. I heard him say, ” Is she alone” and then they tried to figure out when to put me. Eating alone is not really big in Korea…*shrugs. 


Hours of operation if you want to check them out.


As you can see its very tiny in there. You can see the manager guy in the background.

The Menu 🙂

Water while you wait and…



Home made nachos and salsa. It was very good. And not spicy ( in case you don’t like spicy food) 



Kimchi Quesadilla







The menu is veggie head friendly if you do some nip-tucking with the waitress. I ordered the Kimchi Quesadilla. It was really good and filled with pinto beans and sauteed veggies. I forgot to ask if the pinto beans were cooked with bacon fat. But I didn’t taste any remnants of pig, but you should ask!

 I know a few years ago I was caught of guard when I learned Chipotle uses pork fat for their pinto beans. 



Yes. I cleaned my plate! After almost 5 hours of traveling I was starving 🙂

If you check out Vatos Tacos in Seoul, let me know how you like!
