'Vatos Urban Tacos' is a Mexican restaurant that started as
a small taco shop in the back alleys of Itaewon in 2011.

Inspired by Korean-Americans in Los Angeles who blended Mexican food with Korean flavors, a new brand was launched in Korea.
Vatos’ signature dishes, such as ‘Kimchi Carnitas Fries’ and ‘Galbi Tacos,’ are unique creations that perfectly combine taste and presentation, appealing to both Korean and international palates.

Vatos stands out as the only brand in Korea offering a new concept of Korean-Mexican cuisine, fusing traditional Mexican flavors with the taste of Korea.

Additionally, Vatos provides an enhanced dining experience with margaritas, diverse cocktails, and a wide selection of beverages and alcoholic drinks that pair perfectly with tacos.
With its trendy and stylish interior, Vatos creates an upscale dining space that delights both the eyes and the taste buds through its delicious dishes.

Additionally, Vatos offers flexible menu options and private rooms, making it an ideal venue for hosting various customized events.
The restaurant uses freshly made, handcrafted tortilla chips prepared every morning, and chicken wings and drumsticks made exclusively from locally sourced chilled chicken.
All menu items are crafted with a focus on premium ingredients, enhancing quality and delivering exceptional taste.

Vatos is actively working to expand its presence both domestically and internationally.
