Cuchara (쿠차라)


Ask any American expat what they miss most about the motherland, and 9 times out of 10, you'll get the same answer... Chipotle. Luckily, the burrito gods have smiled down upon us bestowing the gift that is Cuchara (쿠차라). We are not worthyyyy *weeps in burrito*



Okay so here's what you need to know: They got tacos, they got burritos, they got burrito bowls, they got salads - all the usual vessels you would expect from Chipotle or a similar establishment.

They have white and brown rice, too. The consistency isn't perfect, but it's not bad. We like it.

As for the meats, they have the little steak nuggs, chorizo, chicken, beef somethin', and also a tofu option. Yay vegetarian meal choices!

Oh and did we mention that they have guac? THEY HAVE GUAC! *screams from the mountain tops*

The sauce is mighty tasty, too, if we do say so ourselves. They have hot and mild so you can request an additional side to go with your feast.

There's even margaritas on the menu. We haven't gone down that road, but boy, do we wanna!

Everything is right in front of you, written in Korean and English, so it's really easy to order. Or you could always point and nod aggressively to communicate your needs.

Maybe we've been in Korea for too many years, but to our tastebuds, this place is pretty legit. It's definitely on par with Chipotle-style burritos. You might as well give it a go and see for yourself!
