What's on the menu at Eaters Mexican?

Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch's two signature items are the Eaters Fajita and the combo platter. You order via tablet PC right at your table, so I sat and browsed the menu slowly.

Beyond that there were tacos, burritos, quesadillas, chimichangas — really a wide range of choices. I visited during an early lunch hour and orders kept coming in from group parties, solo diners, and delivery too, so I thought, yeah, this is definitely a HUFS-area restaurant.

Good for a solo college student meal, an easy diet-friendly option, or grabbing a casual drink with friends!

Eaters Fajita for two: what it costs and what you get

The Eaters Fajita was ₩37,900, plus 2 Zero Cokes at ₩5,000, coming to ₩42,900 total for two. I ordered the Eaters Fajita, one of the BEST signature menu items.

This is it~ packed with chicken, beef, shrimp, onion! So generous.

On top of that, Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch serves it with tortillas, vegetable salsa, and sauce arranged on a 3-tier stand, which made it look even more appetizing.

Each table has a guide to recommended sauce pairings too, so I mixed and matched and tried out several different flavors.

Plus you get to try both types of tortilla — soft flour tortilla and crispy corn tortilla — and each brought its own appeal, which I loved even more. Once the two of us finished the Eaters Fajita, we walked out patting our full bellies. This HUFS-area Mexican restaurant nailed it on both taste and portion.

Is Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch worth a second visit?

I went through a phase of being really into Mexican food and ate it constantly, but these days there aren't that many places serving fajitas! So having Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch nearby was such a relief 😊 Eating the fajitas, tacos, and burritos again reminded me how true to their raw ingredients this food is — genuinely healthy. Good taste, good vibe — great for a group meal or a date spot too.
