All the food is excellent. Surprisingly very well balanced flavours. Fish tacos are a must. Pork taco meat was a little dry, but it was all right. Service was immaculate and very attentive. Gotta come back for what other fusion dishes they'll come up with.

Tucked just outside the Koreatown neighborhood, this new restaurant brings a bold twist to the table with its Korean-Mexican fusion menu—and it does not disappoint. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is modern, lively, and welcoming. The menu is streamlined but packed with exciting choices, including standout cocktails and quick bites that are anything but basic. I couldn’t get enough of the Smash Fries—crispy, seasoned to perfection, and totally addictive. The Baja Tacos? Easily the highlight of the meal—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully put together. They also offer a happy hour menu with some great deals, which makes it an ideal spot for a fun dinner out, or just drinks and snacks with friends. If you're into bold flavors and a chill but stylish atmosphere, this place is a must-try.

Korean and Mexican might be my favorite combination when it comes to food and drinks fusion. You'll definitely have to order the Sangria Soeul-ution, one of my favorite drinks. An added bonus, the bartender is smoking hot (Marc)

Its a fairly new restaurant close to Korea Town neighbourhood with Korean & Mexican fusion dishes in the menu and I must say the food and the ambience is just amazing! This place offers a sleek menu with good options in cocktails and quick bites. I personally loved smash fries, Baja Tacos was my most fav followed by the Bulgogi and they also have an happy hour menu with good options. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch/dinner!

*review from when this location was overpressure club* The bartender Marc really made the night, he was super friendly and talkative. The atmosphere was really nice; the lighting and music were also pleasant. My friend tried the Wasabi Please but it wasn’t for her and Marc made her a new drink free of charge. I’m not really into the taste of alcohol and Marc let me try a few of the highballs to see which ones I liked, and I ended up going with the Grape Crush and the Standing Tall (nonalcoholic), both of which I really enjoyed. The food was also great, we got the Loaded Curry Fries and the Pig Mac and they were both delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

Innovative exquisite (really spicy ) food. I hadn't been this excited trying dishes I've had many times before (like loaded fries, cod tacos and tres leches) in ages. They really represent a unique view on everything on the menu and I especially loved the vegetarian versions they had for some of the dishes. Service was great, everyone in staff is friendly and do their best to accommodate everything. Atmosphere is great too, was a bit loud but it was a Friday night when we visited so we didn't expect anything different.

Had a late dinner last Wednesday, probably around 10:30pm and it wasn’t too busy so the service was quick, he was very friendly, he even served these obnoxious people who came in 5min to close and was still really nice about it. As for the food it was amazing, we tried 3 different appetizers and orders a second round of the fries because they were SO GOOD. There was also a soju 0’clock where they gave everyone in the restaurant a shot of a random flavour of soju. I think we got the plum one and it was so good, I’ve never had that flavour before so i’m glad I tried it because I’ll definitely purchase it now. After a week I cannot stop thinking about this place the food and service was excellent and the decor was so cute, really cool atmosphere.
