The Most Beautiful Mexican Restaurant | Nakwon Taco 낙원타코 Gangnam

vibes

The moment you enter this restaurant, you are slapped in the face with an over-the-top display of palms, complete with detailed tile and palm-patterned wallpaper. It's a huge waste of space, but it's quite impressive and VERY Instagrammable. The seating area of the restaurants has white tile walls and white tile booths, quite reminiscent of the interior of a bathroom. The neon cactus art added a charming millennial touch. 

foods

This restaurant is most well-known for its fajita plate which includes a beautiful sizzling pan filled with shrimp, carnitas, steak, and pork on a bed of grilled onions as well as a plate of tortillas and an array of sauces. The plate costs 34,900 won and can easily satisfy three people. I enjoyed it with a friend and our stomachs were on the verge of exploding.

The flavor is definitely not authentic by any means, but it is quite delicious. My favorite was the carnitas. Salty, smoky, oily and tender, it really hit the spot for my junk food cravings.

final thoughts

I’d highly recommend this place to satisfy your Mexican-Inspired food cravings. It’s a great place to try out with a group of friends, especially if you’re planning on trying the fajita plate! The adorable, fluorescent atmosphere is just an added bonus.
