Terence ChanFebruary 4, 2016I loveee this place! $10 lunch of 2 tacos and sesame fries hits the spot. Cool vibe and music, nice service. Get the beef, kfc, shrimp or fish or any taco. All great. 4.5/5
Mlle LieNovember 21, 2014Great place, good service, fast and delicious. Tried the Pork Korean taco and the kimchi and loved them. Steamed dumplings have the perfect seasoning and are great starters. Definitely recommend it
Tyler KeeganJuly 30, 2013Takorea has tasty, unique food and drinks. It feels very stylish and has a fun atmosphere, the prices are great, and it's a great place to impress out of town guests or just stop by for a quick meal.
TJOctober 18, 2012These Sesame Fries are so good yo mamas face doesn't have a chance. Go ahead & put the baby powder on your hand & set fire to the side of yo mamas face. These fries are that great!
In korean perspective, it's quite yum. I tried beef burritoes, it is close to the traditional korean food. I wanna try pork belly burritoes next time. :)
Dolores LoudermilkMarch 11, 2017Service can be slow but you must get all the tacos and sesame fries. The pork BBQ taco (I forget the name) is heavenly. I still think Hankook is better, though.
Sarah FancellasNovember 2, 2016Loved the tacos and bulgogi quesadilla. Kimchi rice is very spicy but good! Portobello taco was my favorite!
Loved their sister restaurant hankook and this is better. The shrimp tacos and the tempura sweet potatoes are my fav. If you low carb get the tacos minus the shell and they make it into a salad free.
AlieraOctober 16, 2013Shrimp takos were my fave, but the Korean pulled pork is also delish! Must-have app? The sweet potatoes! Seriously scrumptious!!
MelOctober 20, 2014The birthday dessert is delicious! The sesame fries are alright, the enchiladas were just okay but the tacos were to die for!
- TJOctober 18, 2012Beef Taco is good! Shrimp Taco is good! Calamari Taco is good! It's all good in my neck of the woods!
Carolyn CoxMay 5, 2013mashisayo!! loved the mango jalapeno soju martini!! had tacos - all were great -but the fish taco was my fav!! and the elvis pressley fried sundae - YUM!!
Yoo Sun ShinJanuary 2, 2015Lunch special from Monday through Friday until 4 pm: $10 for 2 Takos of your choice, fries, and a soft drink!
Try the 9 Veg Falafel - Interesting take on falafel. Has Indian potato chickpea curry sauce with veggies except its with falafel instead of potatoes. Tastes good! #vegetarian- Lears FoolMay 12, 2017The "Taco Tuesday" deal is great. A nice way to try a bunch and decide on your favorite.
Jaslin ThomasFebruary 16, 2016Loved the $2 taco Tuesday deals.. Woohoo. And their hot tea was enticing to the palate
Deanna RossSeptember 1, 2014The sesame fries are amazing! This place is very vegan friendly. They now have a monthly vegan night!- Keanu BrooksAugust 8, 2019GQ Dip and Seasame Feies are excellent. Got the chimichanga, and it was solid with a huge portion.
Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014I find the notion of Korean-Mexican fusion compelling but I don't find the typical result very tasty. Read more
John OverstreetApril 4, 2013Sesame fries are amazing! We tried the KFC, Belly, Portobello, & Calamari tacos. That were all awesome...
Tony ChiuDecember 31, 2012The sesame fries are great. Def has a good kick too. Sticky chicky kind of tastes like general tsaos chicken but not bad. Didn't like my pork belly taco. KFC taco was pretty good.
Sandy HoDecember 13, 2011Amazing! The staff is super nice! If you're a curry fan and don't mind some thing spicy, you've got to try the vegetable curry falafel! Delicious!!
HatFebruary 21, 2014Belly and KFC are great. Pork doesn't measure up to the same bar (but certainly isn't bad).
B Culture MediaMay 4, 2012Everyone is very friendly and the restaurant has a great vibe. On your next visit try any taco - the pulled pork taco was amazing!
Tyra BurtonMarch 31, 2012Amazing food and Neel rocked as our server! Can't wait to come back, great specials. Save room for the fried Elvis!
Capers HammondMarch 20, 2012Korean tacos in midtown, very cool place,comfortable, friendly and good value, one of my favorite spots in Atlanta
Good option for tacos, it's a good fusion between Korea and Mexican food.
$2 tacos and $2 tecates on Tuesdays. Sesame fries are good with a kick and the gogi nachos freaking rock.
Haley JenkinsAugust 18, 2016The vegetarian enchiladas with kimchi rice was the perfect serving size!!!
Try any of the tacos (many vegetarian options) and build your own bibimpap
Love this place! Shrimp and fish tacos and especially the sesame fries!
Bibimbap is the only way to go. Get extra hot sauce for an added kick.
Jay IrbyFebruary 10, 2013Build-a-bop Pork Belly, mushrooms, spinach, Tako salad, CCC...spicy, unique, distinctly Korean.- TakoreaJuly 28, 2013It's Sunday Funday here tonight! Come ask your server about $4 drink specials happening all night long!
Fish and the calamari tacos are soooo good. And the Uber bop! Deeeee-lish
Jennifer FlatleyMarch 31, 2012Great food. Have some sesame fries and the fried Elvis. Ask for Neel as your waiter. He is great!
If you like Hankook Taqueria, you'll love Takorea. Same Chef. Upscale restaurant atmosphere. Great prices. Read more- TakoreaSeptember 20, 2013Guess where Takorea was this past Wednesday... Pop-up Chef!!! Say hello to Chef Tomas Lee!!!
Chicken gogi tacos are delicious. I wish the lychee and Asian pear drink was stronger though!!
Vi NguyenAugust 2, 2012The first few times I've been here, the food was great! However, this time the pork belly was hard and the beef brisket was very dry..
