    Burrito
    Anthony D.

    A bit salty but hits the sweet spot if you want a flavorful burrito. We ordered: - Burrito - Gogi Bowl - Chips & Salsa The burrito is hefty and will definitely knock you out.

    Came here on Cinco de mayo which happens to be taco Tuesday. The tacos are $1.5 each on Tuesdays (max 6 per person). The tacos itself were very flavorful and packed however one thing I do have to mention is that it was very salty. I had three tacos but I barely finished 1. But for this price, I don't think it can be beat. I love the paintings on the wall and they had a lot of seating. The order seems like it took longer than expected but it wasn't long enough for me to complain.

    Got the chicken burrito here and it was very big. Flavor wise, it wasn't bad since it tasted like marinated chicken and kimchi fried rice. The tacos were pretty good too. The fried chicken I got was very crispy and I don't taste much of the chicken. The service was fast and overall a good place for the money.

    (Kari's Rating 8.5/10) I've gotten soul taco a few times before as I live in River North, but I've never actually ordered the Bulgogi steak burrito. I always think when you take two cultures and mix them you're doing a little too much, but this burrito is actually perfect. The tortilla was soft and warm the Bulgogi and steak paired perfectly with the Sriracha mayo sauce it came with. The kimchi rice added a little bit of kick and the Bulgogi was sweet and tender. Overall, a very delightful review and I will be ordering this again. Thank Seoul Taco for changing my perspective on this restaurant.

    Came in when i found out seoul taco was doing a collab with Pink Mu. Pink Mu makes the best kimbaps chicago has ever had. I think it's such a perfect combo of Korean foods, Korean tacos and kimbaps! You can self order at the kiosk and Holly (owner of pink mu) was also there to help with any questions or tips. She's so so so friendly and kind. All the food came out so quickly and everything was so flavorful and fresh. We had chips and queso, which I LOVED. The cheesy elote bites were little bites of heaven. Kimchi fried rice being 4 bucks is a steal, it was so tasty, I think adding mozz cheese would take it to another level. We had the OG kimbap and the spicy pork kimbap, incredible. Just incredible. The misugaru horchata also was fantastic and I need it again. I also took home a miso caramel cookie that was fire. The interior is clean and spacious. I really enjoy the Korean mural, dope. I will be back for sure and I'll also def order delivery from here. We were able to find easy street parking outside.

    I experience Seoul Tacos booth at Complex Con and they did not disappoint! The staff were very friendly and helped me decide on what I should eat. The food prices were good for the amount of food you get and I didn't wait long at all for my food. The tacos were sooooo good! Whatever they do to marinate the steak made it delicious! The elote bites were good but I wish they had a little less sauce on top. If this is what I can expect from the actual restaurant I'll definitely have to visit.

    I started going here since they opened , besides being Korean taco spot , it seams iit took some time for the restaurant to find a overall identity but theyve arrived to a Korean and Mexican Fusion menu that is a welcome addition to River North , especially late night dining , inside you'll find a variety of seating options including couch's , so people tend to hang out a bit , The Steak is the main item to focus on, marinated in Korean spices , the steak is tender and loaded with flavor , and the toppings are available in Korean style or Mexican style ,( Both. Very Good) They also have sides and a really good Horchata( Rice Water) prices are fair and you will leave full, overall I enjoy eating here but mostly just for a quick fix !

    Korean Cheesy Corn Elote Quesadilla
    Jason S.

    I ordered Seoul Taco for dinner last night after hearing great things, and let me just say--it lived up to the hype and then some! This fast-casual Korean-Mexican fusion spot combines the best of both cuisines, and somehow, the results are even better together. I wasn't expecting anything life-changing, just some solid Sunday night delivery, but this meal absolutely blew me away. I ordered the Elote Quesadilla and one of each taco (beef, pork, and steak). The Elote Quesadilla was hands-down the best quesadilla I've ever had, and I've had my fair share--Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. The combination of the cheesy goodness with the street corn flavor was pure magic. It's the kind of dish you can't stop talking about, and I'll be recommending it to everyone I know. I literally texted a picture of it to at least five people today. The tacos were fantastic as well, and the fusion of Korean and Mexican flavors worked perfectly with the beef, pork, and steak. Plus, they had an awesome deal where I got three tacos free for ordering three--such a win! Seoul Taco has officially earned a top spot on my list. I'll definitely be ordering again, but I also need to visit in person to show them some love. I'll be dreaming about that Elote Quesadilla for a long, long time.

    Got this via pickup. Food came out pretty quick. The actual food was just alright, and I didn't feel like it was the best value. It was pretty empty for Wednesday peak lunch time

    Bill S.

    This place is sorta like the child of a mexican father and korean mother and I would say it is more mexican than korean, but that is just my impression. I ordered the three taco option and had one with chicken, one with pork, and one with bulgogi and of the three, I liked them all but really enjoyed the bulgogi the best and pork second best. This place is rather small, and the staff is friendly, and the food is tasty.

    Gogi + Waffles (spicy pork) SO GOOD.
    Jyothi S.

    Chicago is known for its eats and this place took the top prize for me during this visit. The fusion menu combines the best of diverse flavors and comes together in an incredibly flavorful way. Ordered the steak burrito and Gogi + Waffles combo and I'm still thinking about it a week later! The spicy pork waffle fries combo had me saying "wow" after every bite. The vibe is simple and fun - you order and pay at the counter and they'll bring your meal to you. I enjoyed the playlist and the upbeat atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're a fan of casual Korean based fusion foods!

    Seoul Taco is a fast casual place with multiple locations across Chicago. As it is fast casual, you order and pay up at the counter and you get served the food thereafter. You bus your own table and help yourself with water. I tried the elote quesadilla with bulgogi, chicken taco, and a spicy pork burrito. The food has good Korean inspired flavors. The elote quesadilla flavors were a bit too sharp for my liking, but it is a creative dish. I wished they put a bit more bulgogi since you pay a higher price for bulgogi compared to other meats. This dish was really hearty. The chicken taco they gave me the wrong order so I couldn't really assess how the chicken is. They instead gave me a bulgogi taco which was a miss, but I guess from a financial standpoint I got a bargain. But the taco was a but small for $4 relative to other dishes they offer. The burrito is hearty with lots of kimchi rice (not much kimchi, mostly flavored rice which is fine since I don't like eating too much kimchi), and the spicy pork is decent. There is a lot of fat in the meat though, so I had to stop and take out the fat before continuing to eat the burrito. Good price for large portions. For less than $20 per person for a substantial meal, it is pretty decent.

    Burrito
    Halina P.

    The burrito was to die for. Quite literally after eating all of it. Would highly recommend. However, not for those with no spice tolerance. Although not too spicy, it is enough that you will feel it at least. The person I went with got a bulgogi quesadilla. They enjoyed it, however thought it was a bit too greasy. The staff was really polite and when they ran out of corn tortillas they asked us if wheat was fine and provided free meat for the quesadilla as an apology for the inconvenience. The restaurant itself was nice. Places to sit and relax, not great for large groups but enough seating none the less. I thought the music choice was a bit odd as it was playing rap music which didn't really fit the vibe of the place. Overall would definitely go back and crush another burrito

    What are my options for strict vegetarian/ vegan?

    The Tofu is vegan. Any entree with tofu as the protein that doesn't include Fried Rice or one of their sauces, all of which contain egg, is wholly vegan.

    Does Seoul Taco offer vegan and gluten-free options?

    The tofu is gluten free, but their meats are not. Taco shells and Seoul sauce are GF.

I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces.

They were good but a little small for the price. - Pozole Pipian -- It has a verde base that's very light. Something that makes it unique is chicharrones on top. My daughter prefers pork over the chicken. - Carnitas Huarache -- good flavors but probably my least favorite of the meal. - Asada Torta -- this was my favorite dish of the night.

I arrived at the restaurant on time (4:30) and checked in with the hostess, who said I could only be seated when the entire group of three arrived. This seemed weird given the restaurant was pretty empty at this time, and ordinarily I'd order a drink while waiting at the table. Regardless, I went to Starbucks instead because I knew the other two were a few minutes behind. When I got back to the restaurant, my friend said the hostess told him we absolutely had to leave within 1.5 hours because we were late... which seemed odd because he may have checked in 15 minutes after our reservation, to an empty restaurant, that already refused to seat me on time. Regardless, the food was delicious. I had the Pollo in ChiChilo-- the mole was delicious, and I loved the chicken and sweet potato. I ordered the mole on the side, which seemed like a nice balance. Since the hostess wouldn't previously seat me, I had a lovely iced matcha latte with oat milk and half a pump of vanilla from Starbucks, which was a nice pairing. The waiter did ask if I wanted a shot of something with it, which seemed odd. Ambiance was cute, probably due for a renovation but seemed appropriate for most dining out occasions- dates, families, a day out in town. Note: the restaurant charges an automatic 20% gratuity which may explain the service. Keep this in mind to avoid tipping more than you intend. Overall, I would definitely come back, and the food and wait staff made up for the abrasive welcome.
