Del Seoul

Good tacos
Ordered take out which included the new kalbi poutine. On the way to pick up my food, 15 minutes later, they called to tell me they ran out of french fries over the weekend. Thanks for letting me know so late.

Regardless, the food is pretty good. The k-town wings have a delicious crispy glaze and its kinda sweet and topped with sesame seeds. These are delicious! I was concerned about take out wings, they usually get soggy, but these were perfect. I'd like to try Crisp and compare the two wings.

Ordered one of each taco. They are huge! Favorites were the kalbi (such good flavor), pork, and shrimp (although the shrimp was skimpy. But delicious breading and sauce.) The spicy chicken and fried fish were good but didn't have as much flavor as the others.

The pros- Their tacos are tasty and different. It is worth a try!

The cons- When this place first opened, everyone was telling me I had to try it. After my first visit, I agreed! The second time I visited, I noticed the prices went up and the taco shell was smaller. Now, I think the tacos are overpriced. I know a few taco places that are cheaper, better, and much closer to my house. Instead of making the long drive up here to pay more for my tacos, I much rather stay closer to home.

I been dying to try this place out because its resemblance to Kolgi's Truck back in LA. However, my experience here was only okay.

I ordered the Kalbi Taco, Shrimp Taco and Kimchi Fries. They are known for their Shrimp Tacos, however, I prefer the Kalbi much better. Kalbi was nice and tender. Over all, both tacos were good; I just wished the sauce or the seasoning of the veggies was more spicy or a kick of something. I felt nothing was there to complement the meat. As for the kimchi fries, these were great. The kimchi could be spicier, we had to add sriracha. My friend order their new poutine fries, which was only okay. The purple onions were really great but aside from that nothing real special. I still preferred the kimchi fries.

For Chicago, Del Seoul is great! But coming from LA and having tried Kolgi's, Kolgi's wins my vote. Definitely check this place out. It's probably the closest thing to good Korean/Mexican food you'll find in Chicago.
