    Crispy chicken tacos with sesame fries!
    Jeremy B.

    We've been devouring this place for the past 13 years and it still tastes as good as the first time we visited it. I can't get over the sesame fries , always on point. I usually get the bulgogi and fried chicken tacos, always a consistently good combo. I'm also a fan of their Bibim-bop and I just gave the fried mahi mahi tacos a try. Definitely a good switch up from my usual tacos. We love this hole in the wall taco shop and the service is always pretty good.

    Calamari burrito and a fried Chicken taco

    Hearing of a Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant is music to my ears. Two of my highest regarded cuisines in one? There's no way this could be anything less than spectacular especially after seeing how hyped up this place is, right? Gotta be honest, I was left disappointed. I went with a calamari burrito which sounds incredible especially with the fusion in mind, and it was just...okay. Chewy calamari created strange bite and the filling just was fine. The fries were okay too and I think they had some type of seasoning on them? The flavor wasn't prominent. Went for a fried chicken taco and although the flavor was decent, the chicken was covered in slimy lettuce that was off-putting. The rest of the menu makes me want to come back but I'm not entirely sure it's worth the drive.

    This place right here is amazing. If you are looking for fast casual lunch this is your place. If you are a fan of fusion this is also your place The combination between Korean and Mexican is a good concept. The flavors were authentic. It was also so simple. Being introduced to this restaurant has changed my life. This is one of my favorite places to go when I need something quick to eat, but that's gonna fill me up. They put a lot of toppings on the tacos so you will be full. The orders come out quick.

    big fan of Hankook! Don't let the outside deceive you as there is a great food at a good price here. You can get a whole meal under $10 which is just crazy. I got the taco combo with fries and got the calimari taco and the shrimp taco. The calimari was okay but the shrimp taco was delish and very full! The sesame fries were also delish. This place is no frills korean fusion food that brings me back to Takorea (their other location!) that closed. Definitely want to go back and not to mention the staff was super nice. The parking lot is small definitely worth finding a spot if you can get one!

    Popular hole in the wall spot for GT students and all the like (even Guy Fieri!) Got the calamari and fish tacos, with a side of sesame fries. Tacos came on flour tortillas, fillings were fine, topped with shredded iceberg lettuce. Tortillas were straight out of the bag. Sesame fries were beer battered fries with a hint of sesame oil, with a side of chipotle ketchup (which I thought was kimchi ketchup). Didn't really experience the fusion aspect with what we ordered, but overall, not the best tacos. Fries were good, but also expectedly so since they're probably straight from the freezer to fryer to table.

    What's better than tacos?! Korean style tacos! Bulgogi was my favorite. Fish was delicious as well. $10 for 2 tacos and fries - I'd say that's a deal!

    shrimp taco & buffalo chicken (day spcl) taco. This spot hits on ALL CYLINDERS!! The umami, textures, portions, service..   , GO!

    Bulgogi and fried chicken tacos
    Eugene W.

    I was actually blown away by how bad these tacos were compared to my expectations. They were definitely EDIBLE, but felt more like bad dining hall food than anything. Bulgogi: The beef was not seared at all. In fact, it tasted boiled. It was tender enough, but had a thoroughly overcooked chew to it. Fried Chicken: This did not taste like Korean-style fried chicken at all. It was more like frozen chicken tenders. The shredded mozzarella cheese definitely fit the dining hall food aesthetic. Shrimp: I liked this one a bit more than the bulgogi and fried chicken, but still nothing special. Fries: These are what saved this review from being a 2/5. The fries are actually very good. Well-seasoned and crispy. The tacos are loaded up with a hefty amount, so the value for your dollar is okay. Service is also friendly and fast. The premises feel a bit dirty, both the floors and the tables. The water from the fountain machine had a slight hint of mold. TL;DR These tacos are honestly pretty darn bad. I've had Korean-style tacos in LA, Boston, Chicago, etc. but these have been the worst.

    Taco combo with fries

    A no frills Korean-Mexican (hence the name) (Hankook = "Korea" in Korean) lunch is a must go if you want excellent fusion food at excellent price to value. If you come during lunch rush you'll see a fast merry go round of cars coming in and out because of the speed and volume of customers! (Less than 10 minutes for orders) I highly recommend: 1. Sesame fries (with the special ketchup)!! Perfect blend of crispy and sweet 2. Fried chicken taco (nicely breaded and fried church with a nice aioli)

    @hankooktaqueria Hankook Taqueria - 15 Years of Amazing Eats! Hankook Taqueria has been a staple in Atlanta's food scene for YEARS, and for the past 15 of my years, it's been one of my top five go to spots. They are absolutely amazing in every way! Yes, the location is older, and parking can be a challenge, but if you time it right, you're in for some of the best tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and french fries around. Every time I'm in the area and can find parking, I make sure to stop by. Their crispy chicken tacos? Easily some of the best I've ever had. Their quesadilla? Top tier. If you know me, you know I love a good quesadilla, and Hankook does it right. And don't sleep on their french fries... they're the perfect finishing touch to an already amazing meal. Fair warning: it gets busy, and parking can be tricky. You might have to hunt for a spot, but trust me, it's worth it. Just be ready because once you try them, you might ruin all other tacos and quesadillas for yourself! Have you been to Hankook? Let me know what you think! #Rolieats #goodeats #HankookTaqueria #AtlantaFood #OlFaithful #AnOriginal

    Beef Bulgogi Burrito with kimchi fried rice + side of Sesame Fries
    Kyja W.

    Another workplace order! Apparently, according to my sister when I told her about my lunch, she says that I had had this place before maybe like 6 years ago! I didn't remember, so it was like I was experiencing it with fresh eyes (and taste buds)! I chose the Beef Bulgogi Burrito with kimchi fried rice + side of Sesame Fries. The sesame fries are delicious--much better than the sugary ones over at Yumbii that I used to enjoy before my boyfriend pointed out that they were sweet. The burrito was delicious as well--large and jam packed with ingredients. The beef was a little tough but it meshed well with the other elements to where it wasn't super noticeable. Over all, I enjoyed my meal and look forward to trying more!

    - calamari taco - grilled chicken taco - bulgogi burrito - kimchi bulgogi fries - nachos Tacos were okay, not bad but I wish I had gotten maybe the fried chicken taco or something else. The calamari was a bit soft, good but just didn't have the bite I'm used to. Burrito was good according to my fam and was really filling. Nachos were also okay. There was a lot and we couldn't really finish since the chips weren't super crispy. The fries...SO GOOD. Holy moly. I would go back just for the fries and some drinks. There was just a lot of fries (and nachos) and for the price, it was just too good. It was spicy, cheesy, meaty, a bit sour from the kimchi. The fries were crazy since I haven't had those type of fried...fries in so long. Last I remembered I had was maybe at an Applebees? or Chiles. Anyways please please try the French fries it's so good. Another plus to the overall experience was that the food came out so fast. So you won't be waiting long if you come here hungry

    Bibim-bop
    Eryn H.

    I've been to this place twice and I just flat out dint like it. I am really not a fusion person but I tried it because of the reviews and I feel like the reviews are misleading because the food is mediocre at best. I got the bimbibap bulgogi it was okay , it did not taste like traditional bimbibap and I don't like the sauce that is on top of it. I also tried their special taco of the day which was the carne asada taco with tempura Roma tomato and that was just okay too but packed flavor.

    Terrible! Tried it because of the good ratings and it was the opposite! Tasteless food. Will never eat anything from here again.

    Do they have corn tortillas as an option for the tacos?

    Yes they do, just make sure you mention it when you order. Most of their tacos taste better to me with flour though. I've had both...

    Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

    We came here last night to celebrate my sister's birthday with a large group. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice kicked off on a really sour note. Right when we walked in, the staff complained to us that we hadn't called ahead to have a "smaller, special menu" crafted for a large party. To make matters worse, they loudly announced to the whole table right off rip that they wouldn't split checks separately--only an even split. It felt incredibly rude, lazy, and unwelcoming. The irony is that the large group size wasn't even an issue; we staggered our arrivals and the patio was completely empty. The kicker- my brother in law ended up paying the whole tab at the end anyways! so all of that initial laziness & nastiness for NOTHING! Throughout the night, the service felt incredibly rushed and stressed. While we were still eating our appetizers, the busser was aggressively trying to clear our plates because the mains were coming. Our server was very short with us the entire time, which was confusing because the restaurant didn't even have a stressful vibe. She recommended a main dish to me that I really didn't care for, though I will say the salsa was unique and probably the best part of the meal. Shoutout to the one staff member who was actually friendly, but overall, this is not the kind of place where you leave feeling like you had a nice restaurant experience- at least I personally didn't.. Too bad we didn't just go to C&S next door which we always love. Regardless tho, my sister had a blast, but that's entirely because she has a wonderful crew of great friends, not because of Casi Cielo.

They have quickly become my favorite place to get Mexican food. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located on Buford Highway in a small shopping plaza. The lot is medium sized, but they are sharing it with a few other businesses, and depending on the night it could definitely be hard to find a spot so keep that in mind. Venue and Atmosphere The venue is decently sized with both booths and regular tables. There are beautiful paintings hung all over, and the decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a little part of Mexico. Atmosphere is super casual and comfortable. Food and drinks Now the menu here is massive. Take your time and prepare to be overwhelmed, because everything sounds amazing. Here's a breakdown of what we got each time. 1st visit - El Rey Del Taco Parrillada It's meant to be shared with two people, and comes with a pound of beef ribs, your choice of chicken or al pastor meat, six shrimp wrapped in bacon, with melted cheese and chorizo, plus tortillas and charro beans. It was just as delicious as it sounds. 2nd visit - Tacos The pastor con queso and the shrimp al pastor with cheese, onions, and al pastor sauce. You're welcome. 3rd visit - Fajitas Fajitas Texanas, with steak chicken and shrimp. There are 7 different combinations of sides that you can get. We got white rice, salad, and charro beans. This can also be shared, which my wife and I did. Speaking of the charro beans, they have the best beans I have ever had. For drinks I got the supreme regular mango margarita. My wife got strawberry. Both great. Service Food came out fast, but other than that the service was a little slow. Our waitress was nice, but it did seem that she forgot about us for a little while. The food was so good that I forgave it, plus at the end of the day I got everything I needed. Verdict If you're looking for amazing food and drinks, this is absolutely the place to get it. It just might end up being your favorite too! Until next time!
