Mexican Seoul

Mexican Seoul brings a confident cross-cultural groove to East London, combining the punch of Korean cooking with the sunlit swagger of Mexican street food. The kitchen is devoted to contrast, blending bright acids with sweet heat, juicy meat with crisp bite, and umami depth with citrus lift.

The menu begins with small bites that set the tone. Corn-on-the-cob ribs are slathered in miso mayo with a savoury sprinkle of cheese and spice, while a tuna tostada layers sashimi-grade freshness over guacamole and oi-muchim. Salads bring brightness, from soy-marinated eggs to a five-bean mix lifted by perilla leaf and ssamjang.

Tacos continue the theme with pork belly marinated for 24 hours, served with lime crema, Korean slaw and salsa verde, while bulgogi beef balances sweet and savoury notes with pickled red onion and salsa roja. Double-fried wings offer a choice of Honey Buffanero or the Gochu-gang, both paired with gochu-mayo.

Mexican Seoul is made for sharing. Gather friends, explore the menu together, and let Korean and Mexican flavours strike up a delicious conversation, one bite at a time.
