    the interior of a restaurant
    Erica B.

    Visited here for the first time following a blues game. It was a Tuesday night, which I presume as to why the place was pretty empty - it started to get a little bit busier as the evening stretched onward which is cool since their open past midnight. Our bartender/server was lovely. My partner and I ordered the chicken nachos to share. Glad we did because it was hefty! Covered in toppings and smothered in cheese. Wasn't in the mood for drinking, but I'll be open for next time. The restaurant itself was beautiful styled. Beautiful artwork along the walls, Tables scattered about the corridor, the bar centralized within the restaurant, and a lounging area to accommodate intimate settings and large groups. And again...a bonus that their open past midnight! Who doesn't love tacos and margaritas at 1:00 in the morning! Will definitely be back.

    We had the Chicken street Tacos. They were delicious. The margaritas had too much ice in the pitcher. The service was good. The server was friendly. The temperature was very cold In the restaurant.

    When we first walked in on a Sunday night, we were one of the only ones there. We weren't sure if that was a bad sign. It wasn't. Turns out, this place comes alive later at night! I asked the bartender about their margaritas, and she said that they are all homemade every day, and she let us try different flavors! The service was good, and everyone enjoyed their food, especially the tacos. They also have a lovely patio, which is always a plus for me.

    Upcharge for chips; chips were mostly broken. Employees behind the bar on cell phone while working; no napkins on the tables; no silverware it was plastic ware. Pricey for what you get. Ingredients don't seem very fresh, tables dirty, floors sticky, bathroom was gross. Sad because this is an excellent location.

    La Calle (Spanish for street) was an amazing experience for my wife, kids and me! We were lucky enough to be there the first day being open! From the menu that has the local street names for their items to the AMAZING Atmosphere (with local artists represented on the walls and an incredible patio!) We were already excited for our family night out. Once our food arrived our expectations were far exceeded. Even our picky eater had fun playing with flavors and trying new things (which is NOT normal for her). For the Lou/Grove locals this was the old Novak's! The meat (chicken and steak... yes, I had both, don't judge!) was incredible! Juicy, flavorful, and NOT overly cooked or rubbery!! Salsa and guac were on point as you would want, but the chips were something a bit different. Lite, crispy (but not easily broken in the salsa or guac) and additional salt was NOT needed (like I usually like it). Whether you're going out as a couple, as a family, or a late night in The Grove, La Calle has you covered!! My wife and I (and even the kids...) will definitely be back! Hands-down, the best Mexican food I've had in the Lou!!

    Delicious Mexican cuisine in the grove! Huge indoor space with couches and a giant outdoor patio for dining as well. The burrito here was amazing and packed with flavor. Chips and salsa here are super spicy make sure and have extra water handy. Quesadillas are delicious here as well :)

I am assuming the heat inside was why there were grease/sweat patches on the edge of the table I was seated on. The birria tacos were very average, the rice that came with it was absolutely bland and the pastor enchiladas were alright but the meat was mostly charred. The horchata was so dilute, I couldn't taste anything. The only saving grace were the chips and salsa - especially the salsa. Overall, this is a pretty overpriced place for below average food.

I like that this is a mother fast casual option so you can order at the counter and then they will bring the food to you when it's ready. They have a self service station for drinks (no alcohol). I wish I would have taken a picture of the tacos I ordered during my first visit, but I definitely forgot. I ordered a shrimp taco and while I was nervous that it would be small, it as actually a nice size and very filling. Was it a bit spicy? Yes. But I powered through because the flavors were good. The cilantro rice was also so good as a side and I loved the street corn, it was so creamy and delicious. My main pick when I visit now is the half southwest rice bowl with grilled chicken. It is the right portion size and has all the things I love in the rice bowl. I forgot to add avocado/guac on this last visit, but that's usually a good thing to add on top or to the side.

As far as the queso, I didn't really care for the taste. It was something off about it that I can't put my finger on. I was hoping for a great food experience based off other reviews but know all tastebuds are different. My search continues for epic tacos.

RST is owned by an amazing couple who care about their guests and their products. The food is fun and tasty; drinks are fantastic. First off: there's a small parking lot on the east side of the building plus plenty of street parking. Inside you'll be graciously welcomed by the bartender if you slide onto a barstool-- or you can be seated at a table in the dining room or outside. They're usually a few decent beers on tap, and more available in cans. The bar manager does excellent work with a specialty cocktail menu and house-made shrubs and syrups. The house margarita is affordable and very drinkable. While you wait, enjoy complimentary popcorn topped with Rock Star Dust-- their own special blend of seasonings that is also included in several other menu items. Scan the QR code to see the menu of rockstar-named dishes like the glass onion rings, Amy Swinehouse (pork taco) and such. It's all good! (Your server will take your order & bring the food out.) Tamales are especially excellent, made with the owner's mother's authentic recipe. There are a few vegetarian options, rotating specials, and sweet treats as well. You can get in and out pretty quickly if you've got somewhere else to be, or hang for a while and enjoy the cool atmosphere & wonderful people!

I don't dine out as often as I used to, and sometimes it's necessary to get a cheeseburger. Of course I would never attempt to make a burrito in my own home. I wouldn't have visited Seoul Taco today, except that another restaurant I intended to visit, nearby, was closed. I'd read on the app that it's sometimes randomly not open during posted business hours, and wouldn't you know, that turned out to be the case today. Did the owner decide he'd rather go fishing? Is he in jail for a crime that would be considered reprehensible even by Grove standards? I'm not into spreading rumors. Ask someone at Pie Guy. Oh wait, you can't. This location of the local Korean fusion chain appeared to me like a beacon at the east end of the eclectic business district. It's in a weirdly nice building that may have been purposely designed to attract gainfully employed young people. The entire block, consisting of at least two apartment buildings and multiple storefronts, has the design language of a circa '08 Chipotle. If you wanted to, you could actually live in an apartment above Seoul Taco. Imagine how convenient that would be. I knew I should have tried harder in college. The burrito here is an especially generous serving, the fact that it consists primarily of rice notwithstanding, but the tacos might be the thing to get. It's a perfectly fine serving size, and the emphasis is on the meat, as it should be. Right, Puff Daddy? The Seoul Tacos come with your choice of meat, spring mix that's probably from a bag, some sort of sriracha-mayo mix and that might be it. I'm not familiar with the Street Tacos, and in fact I wasn't aware that they existed until just now. They might have more of an attitude. I toyed with the idea of getting a quesadilla, which is never bad, even if you get it from Taco Bell. Instead, I went with the Nachos, for a little textural contrast. I got one taco in addition to the nachos, because I hadn't had one in literally decades, and I figured it might be useful as a point of comparison if I visit any other restaurants that serve tacos. The nachos were surprisingly beef-forward. Rarely are you presented with an entree that has more beef in it than you expected. I felt like I was in a Wendy's circa 1983. For anything with beef in it, you pay a surcharge that, depending on the item, is almost enough to purchase an entire meal elsewhere, so I guess that's the least they can do. Meanwhile, there's not much cheese. Should it not be the opposite? By definition, nachos are chips and cheese. You don't even necessarily need the meat. Was the person who made this on drugs? There's a dispensary nearby. You're bombarded by the smell, if you park at that end of the street. For the taco, I went with the spicy pork, which might be the thing to get. The beef is great (ahem), and I suspect that the surcharge has as much to do with the taste as the food cost (they could just give you less of it, or jack up the price of everything else), but the pork is arguably just as good (with all due respect to the Honorable Minister), and it has the rare distinction of having a spice level appropriate for an adult of normal intelligence. You can actually taste it. If I were to return, I'd probably get the Seoul Tacos with the pork, even if money were no object. Like, if I won the lottery. I was delighted to see that this place has cookies, and of course I felt obligated to try one, as part of a balanced diet. They don't seem to be freshly baked, and they cost too much, but they're great. If I'm not mistaken, one of them was a matcha chocolate chip. Clearly, it was designed to appeal to the kind of person who would pay a premium to live upstairs. I went with some sort of salted caramel--like a chocolate chip cookie, but with caramel instead of chocolate. It was ginormous, tasty and probably very unhealthy. It had a texture not unlike those soft batch cookies they had to pull from the market because the trans fats would cause your heart to explode. If I ever die, it's their fault.
