[COCO's pick] Experience Authentic Mexican Food in Seoul: A Review of ON THE BORDER

Hey, what's up? Welcome to my blog, COCO HOUSE and thank you for your kind visit. I am so glad you find me here.

Today, I would like to share one of my favorite experiences for Mexican food in Seoul, South Korea. If you ever plan to visit South Korea, I am pretty sure you will enjoy many kind of delicious authentic Korean food all the time. However, if you get to stay long in Seoul, then you might want to try something else like foreign food!

So here I am to share my true and real experience. The Mexican restaurant I would like to introduce is called "ON THE BORDER(온더보더)". It has many branches in Seoul and the place I went is ON THE BORDER COEX Branch.

2. FOOD OF ON THE BORDER

We ordered Fruit Margarita, domestic Fresh Beer, Fritas Fish & Chips, and Ranchiladas this time. Ranchiladas, which is cooked with cheese, tomato, onion, and steak, is served with Mexican rice and bean dishes. It is a highly recommended menu with a very generous portion of deliciously cooked meat, which is so tender that even three people can eat it enough.

We also tried ordering Fritas Fish & Chips and the white fish inside was soft and tender as it was lightly cooked, while the outside was very crispy, making it very delicious. There was no fishy smell peculiar to fish, and the white fish meat was cooked to be soft and tender, making it a happy menu every time you eat it! Cut it into small pieces with a knife and fork and dip it in the sauce! Highly recommended! :)


3. DISCOUNT TIPS!

There are three ways to get discounts at the On The Border.
- First, 15% discount for Coex Mall employees.
