Today I'm bringing you an honest review of Taco Dot Cheongna Branch, a taco restaurant in Cheongna, Incheon. It's said to be a recommended Cheongna date course, so let's see what kind of place it is.

Where is Taco Dot Cheongna Branch, and is there parking?

Taco Dot Cheongna Branch, a Cheongna taco restaurant, is located near Incheon Asiad Main Stadium — a recommended spot for a Cheongna date. It'd be perfect to visit after catching a movie at Lotte Cinema Incheon Asiad, right?

There's parking space right in front of the restaurant, so you can visit without worrying about parking.

What is the restaurant like inside?

The interior is neatly divided into tables for four, and each table has a partition, which gives it a nice feel for conversation.

Besides the separated tables, you can also push tables for four together, which makes it good for group visits too.

You can catch a glimpse of the kitchen, and it looks clean at a glance, doesn't it?

The menu and what we ordered

This is the menu at Taco Dot Cheongna Branch, a Cheongna taco restaurant. The most popular item is the fajita, but the quesadilla, pork ribs, and tacos are all really good too, so I genuinely struggle to decide what to order every time I visit. If you come with several people, you can also go for the set menu at a more affordable price.

Since it had been a while since my last visit, I ordered the most popular fajita platter. They're running an event where you get lemonade for participating in a Naver receipt review, and nachos if you visit after making a Naver reservation — definitely worth joining both, right?

What comes on the ₩38,000 fajita platter?

This is the fajita platter, the signature dish at Taco Dot Cheongna Branch, a Cheongna taco restaurant.

It's a dish where you wrap cartinas, shrimp, barbecue chicken, fried rice, sautéed vegetables, and various other ingredients in tortillas.

Ordering just this one dish is more than enough to fill two people up.

Cartinas, the pulled pork

The cartinas was especially delicious — a traditional Mexican pulled pork dish, and even though it's pork, it was so tender.

Just touching it with a fork made it pull apart along the grain effortlessly — it was really amazing. This cartinas is made with Taco Dot Cheongna Branch's own recipe, and it was truly the best.

Barbecue chicken and shrimp

I actually thought the barbecue chicken might be a bit dry, but it was surprisingly juicy and tender — really tasty.

The shrimp, well, how could it not be good. The meat was plump and grilled just right, not dry at all — I could eat it just right.

Tortilla and sauce refills, and the best combinations

It's really great that the tortillas and sauces are refillable. I refilled the tortillas twice.

You can add hot sauce or jalapeños to make it spicy to your taste, or eat it with just meat, or just shrimp — everything tasted different but delicious, so it was fun to eat.

Among all the combinations, what I liked best was piling plenty of meat and shrimp into the tortilla along with cabbage salad, jalapeños, and tomato, then topping it generously with sour cream sauce.

How the lemonade tasted

The lemonade wasn't sour at all — it was a delicious lemonade with a refreshing lemon scent and just the right amount of sweetness. It's like when you drink a good grapefruit ade and feel that perfect balance of sweetness and freshness — just swap the grapefruit scent for lemon. Please share the recipe!

Final verdict on Taco Dot Cheongna Branch

It's hard to find a place that does something special like Mexican food really well. This Cheongna taco restaurant had genuinely delicious food and a great atmosphere, making it a recommended Cheongna date spot.
