Vámonos! ## Where is Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch? Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch is on the third floor of the building to the left of McDonald's! Before you head up, you can check the banner to see which tacos and burritos they sell :) ![Restaurant banner listing taco and burrito menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-02-u6hh9-900.webp) It’s right by Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Station, so I imagine lots of students from HUFS, Kyung Hee University, and the University of Seoul come here haha. Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch is on the third floor of THE 305 building! ![Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch on the third floor of THE 305 building](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-03-1aw31-900.webp) When you get up to the third floor, the entrance counter is decorated with cacti and green plants. There’s also a huge mirror by the elevator doors, which makes it such a great photo spot for mirror selfies. ![Entrance counter decorated with cacti and green plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-04-1g1p9-900.webp) My girlfriend and I took photos together for the first time in ages and got ourselves into a date-day mood haha. ![Mirror selfie at the photo spot in front of the large mirror](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-05-109yx-900.webp) Finally, we’re heading inside~~ Yaaay~~! ![Entrance to Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-06-vqfvw-900.webp) ## What are the atmosphere and seating like? The first thing that caught my eye at the entrance counter was the vibrant, distinctive geometric tilework in a Mexican style! ![Restaurant counter with geometric-patterned tiles](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-07-1ccbw-900.webp) There were photos of all kinds of tacos at the counter, and I was already getting excited, you know? ![Restaurant counter displaying taco photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-08-v7b94-900.webp) There are lots of tables for four, but there are long communal tables too, so it seems great for group get-togethers as well. ![Restaurant seating with four-person tables and a long communal table](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-09-rgi4f-900.webp) They have high chairs too, so bringing kids along should be no problem! They even have blankets for guests. My girlfriend gets cold super easily and is always freezing when we go to restaurants. But with blankets here, don’t worry! ![Restaurant area with guest blankets available](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-10-o5lwu-900.webp) I noticed there’s an outdoor terrace too! On a nice day, it would be so good to enjoy tacos outside with a beer~~ ![Eaters Mexican with an outdoor terrace](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-11-1hcyu-900.webp) There’s also a slightly room-like area with an L-shaped sofa, so you can have a fairly private meal :) This would be a nice place to sit when you come with family haha. ![Private seating with an L-shaped sofa](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-12-1ydmm-900.webp) We picked the seat looking out onto the outdoor terrace. Sitting outside felt like a bit much for us, but the floor-to-ceiling windows let you see it all from inside, so this felt like a prime seat too haha. ![Seat beside floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the outdoor terrace](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-13-rttg4-900.webp) ## Combo platter menu and price You can order from a tablet! (Unlike other restaurants, this isn’t a kiosk—it’s an actual, real tablet, which I thought was so interesting.) ![Eaters Mexican menu ordered from a tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-14-1x4ia-900.webp) We originally planned to eat only tacos, but then we came across a seriously good-value set menu. The combo platter! It comes with pasta, two kinds of tacos, a burrito, and buffalo wings all at once, and I could practically hear my girlfriend’s eyes popping at the thought of trying so many things hahaha. > Today’s menu: Combo Platter (for 2, ₩36,900) — grilled chipotle cream pasta, chicken taco, chicken burrito, carnitas taco, buffalo wings, nacho chips, and salsa ## What comes with the combo platter, and how did it taste? I actually lived in Mexico, so my expectations for how good it would be were incredibly high. First of all, the size alone blew me away. The chipotle cream pasta arrives in a cast-iron pan, and the color alone passed the test! That delicious orange chipotle pasta color, right? ![Orange chipotle cream pasta served in a cast-iron pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-15-cr5dc-900.webp) It also had three whole big shrimp on top, with a lovely plump bite. It might look rich in photos, but it wasn’t rich at all—it tasted clean and fresh. ![Chipotle cream pasta topped with three whole shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-16-9nkyy-900.webp) The heat from the chipotle cuts through the creaminess, so even my girlfriend, who isn’t great with rich food, loved it and finished it all. Next up were the buffalo wings and nachos! The buffalo wings were the perfect size to pick up with your hands, and their salty flavor really made me want a beer. ![Buffalo wings on the combo platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-17-1wzq7-900.webp) I think my girlfriend and I split about two or three each haha. And the nacho chips (tortilla chips)? Dipped in the sauces on the side, there’s nothing more to say. ![Nacho chips served with sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-18-13xse-900.webp) They’re really sauces for dipping or spooning onto the tacos, but they were insanely good with the nachos too! I especially loved the salsa and guacamole. My girlfriend preferred the slightly tangy sour cream and salsa. ![Salsa and guacamole served with the combo platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-19-9ddxx-900.webp) ![Combo platter sauces including sour cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-20-1xz0z-900.webp) Since there are four different sauces, you can choose whichever one suits your taste haha. ![Platter served with four kinds of sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-21-1shmw-900.webp) Next were the chicken taco and carnitas taco! Starting with the chicken taco: grilled chicken topped with corn and cheese, with a flavor that pretty much anyone would enjoy. The carnitas taco has tender-cooked pork and lots of cilantro, and the saltiness of the meat works beautifully with cilantro’s bright kick! Cilantro comes sprinkled on all the tacos, so ask for it to be left off beforehand if you can’t eat it~ ![Combo platter with chicken and carnitas tacos](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-22-1o6ur-900.webp) *Combo platter (for 2)* It all comes together on one square tray, and isn’t the look + portion + value just crazy? Plus, the taste is crazy good too. ![Combo platter served all together on a square tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters-23-m1kcu-900.webp) ## How much food is it for two people? It’s a little more than two adults can eat, and probably just right for three light eaters? haha. I really vouch for the taste, so just go try it! ## Final thoughts The flavor held its own even compared with Mexican food in Mexico. Next time, I’d like to try some other kinds of tacos too haha. My final score is 5 out of 5~~! ## Where it is - Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch (이터스 멕시칸 외대점) - 13 Hwigyeong-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 동대문구 휘경로 13 3층 - 37.5960086, 127.0617165 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%ED%84%B0%EC%8A%A4%20%EB%A9%95%EC%8B%9C%EC%B9%B8%20%EC%99%B8%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%90/@37.5960086,127.0617165,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-doorways-fb81/oedae-mexican-combo-platter-eaters/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
