In short

Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch is a Mexican restaurant on the 3rd floor of a new building on Hwigyeong-ro in Dongdaemun, Seoul, a 2-minute walk from Oedae Station. The writer liked the tacos and chipotle cream pasta enough to return and ordered the combo platter for two (36,900 won). Even for someone who struggles with rich, creamy food, the chipotle cream pasta at Eaters Mexican HUFS Branch was savory and delicious, and the nacho chips with buffalo wings are a must-order.

I can't really handle rich food, but this had a savory depth and was just right for me, so I really enjoyed the chipotle cream pasta.
