Seoul Taco's Tofu Burrito

Seoul Taco's name says it all. This Loop restaurant is a korean bbq/ mexican fusion joint. Seoul Taco is actually a famous STL food truck that was so successful that they were able to open a loop storefront last year. Which is were I was first able to try this amazing combination of flavors. They serve burritos, taco, quesadillas, and gogi bowls. They all have a unique Korean BBQ twist to them. For example the burritos have kimchi fried rice in them and the tacos have seoul sauce and gogi bowls have a fried egg on top. I took my family here as something different, and they very much enjoyed it. I got the wonderful vegetarian tofu burrito (see above). My sister and my dad got a chicken quesadilla (see below) and taco, my sister got beef and chicken tacos, and my mom got a chicken burrito. My sister LOVED her beef taco, she raved about it all weekend. So it you eat meat and check out Seoul Taco, you'd better get the beef tacos ;) All of the dishes have slightly different flavor profiles, so unlike at chipotle (which I'm totally not bashing because I love that place with all my heart) the dish you chose actually changes the taste of the dish. This place is so unique and delish, check it out if you want something easy on the loop.

Thoughts on this restaurant:

• The flavors here are really intense and wonderful. But they can be a little spicy. Like a lot of Asian spice flavor profiles the food here has a slow burn spice, which intensifies throughout the meal. It doesn't bother me, and spice usually does. But it did bother my Dad, who's really sensitive to spicy food. If this is an issue for you, eat here with caution.
• The burritos are super filling, but they are so yummy that both my mom and I ended up finishing them. It's a really good place to go if you're hungry. 
• The pricing is comparable to chipotle. So not the cheapest thing ever, but still extremely reasonable.
• The seating at the storefront is pretty limited, so you might have to wait for table to open up. When the weather is nice they have outdoor seating, which helps with congestion.

This place is a real life food truck success story, that can now be enjoyed at a nice stationary central location. If you're even the tinseist bit curious about Korean/Mexican fusion check it out, you won't be disappointed!
