“Delicious! I always get the same thing, the beef Seoul taco. I never tried anything else and I keep coming back for more. The best part is the people. Virginia helped me patiently with my first order and she was knowledgeable and great. Also, big shout out to Junior who is awesome. He is so hardworking, professional and super welcoming. He answers the phone as I try to squeeze in my order of tacos before they close. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be there half as much. I’m so grateful. Thanks guys and team! You rock! Btw I couldn’t help myself and took a bite when I sat down, then thought to take a picture. 😄😋”
“Some of the bedt kimchi rice I have ever had! Great prices too, AND they stay open pretty late.”
“My wife and I drove 4 hours to come to Chicago for the weekend, specifically to stop at Seoul Taco. It’s our favorite place to eat in the world and the food does NOT disappoint. The portions are massive and the environment is great for small or larger parties. Does not ever disappoint.”
“Had an amazing experience at Seoul Taco!! The food was incredible, so flavorful and so reasonably priced!”
“Pork tacos were 🔥 Flavor profile on point and that sauce did what it needed to do. Cute vibe, fast service, and definitely a repeat every time I’m in Chicago. Staff takes a minute to warm up, but once they do, the experience gets better. Worth it.”
“Seoul Taco is great. I had the 3 taco meal and got one steak, one pork, and one chicken taco. They were delicious. The atmosphere is laid back, the staff is friendly, and the service was quick. Highly recommend!”
“I visited Seoul Taco on a quiet night. The service was efficient and fast. The restaurant has a simple concept that absolutely works. The quesadilla I ordered was very tasty and spicy! Loved it! The tofu burrito my husband ordered was almost too spicy for him but he finished it anyway! That says a lot!”
“This place is great! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was really nice. They were really nice to my children. One of my kids did not like the tacos they ordered. They made them a chicken quesadilla on the house we expected to pay for it and they gave it to her for free. Totally unexpected! Highly recommend this place.”
“Absolutely amazing bulgogi beef tacos tried at Taste of Chicago!!”
“Got the steak burrito - DELISH. The meat, Kimchi rice, and sauce were amazing”
“I always come to Seoul Taco when the bars close on the weekends, so options are limited. In comparison to Velvet Taco and Taco Burrito King, the food is amazing! The white queso dip is the best I’ve had. I’ve tried the Seoul tacos and Street Tacos and both are fantastic! Tonight I’m trying the bowl and I have high expectations. Things to note, the service is non-existent…literally. You have to order your food from a tablet thing and there’s only 1 check-out device. Imagine having to wait in line w/ customers who have been drinking and may wwwehave questions with nobody to really help. Luckily, I saw another customer order online using their phone - huge time saver so I thought. The food takes awhile for it come out. They prepare the orders up front, but I think their kitchen is in the back because I’ve had to wait 25 mins for the chips to come out of the fryer. I just wish they had better service, etc. I’ll still support them because Velvet Taco is insanely expensive and their food doesn’t taste good at all. The up charge because of their exotic combination of items, but they don’t go well together. Went there once and I’ll never go back.”
