  Great day for South Korea. One step closer to being a tacky US clone.

  I'm guessing this "Chris" blogger was there early in the day. It was much more than a "40 minute wait" later in the day on Sunday. Try at least an hour to get in and 30-40 minutes to get the food you ordered. The idea that only waygookins want Tex-mex food options is absurd. Plus, despite what you'll read on Seoul Eats or Zenkimchi, people here are ready to support Tex-mex food that is reasonably priced. Yeah, it's about time someone offered a taco for less than 4,000 won. Sorry, Tomatillo and others. Hopefully your days of gouging Tex-mex fans is over.

  Look at that fat woman on the right. As if she really needs more crap junk.

  Tex-mex is not what I would call TB. I enjoy some once in a while but Tex-mex is delicious while TB is a quick fix.

  …and Tom, maybe (hopefully) she's there to order from the Fresca menu (aka the drive through diet). Likely more healthy than Sam Gyulk Sal (though I love that stuff).

  They had a Taco Bell in Seoul back in '96 but the Koreans couldn't stick to a business model. Anyway.. that TB in Itaewon had been 'coming soon' for like 8 months… bout time they finished it. I look forward to my Sweet Potato and Corn Enchilada!!!!

  In Korea, if you "run for the border" your ass literally explodes.

  Just what I was thinking.

  If you "run for the border", will Bill Clinton come and rescue you?

  ChickenHead: I think you'll have to be a somewhat decent looking wahine for ole Slick Willy to come and rescue you..

  Pilot- Mr. Clinton, could you please return the stewardess to her original upright position.. we're landing in a few minutes.
