About
Buzzy Mexican taco joint along the Seosulla-gil stone wall, pairing crispy tacos and fries with a wide selection of bottled beers and cocktails.
Flanking the historic stone walls of Seosunra-gil, Beetle Beetle, Beetles Taco brings a loud, high-energy street vibe to Jongno. Outside, colorful red, yellow, and blue chairs spill toward the alley, where diners gather for an open-air, *yabang*-style atmosphere beneath wide-open windows. Originally hailed from Jeju, this fast-paced spot is known for its strict house rules—it operates as a no-kids zone, requires one drink per person, and strictly admits parties of two to four together—making it less of a place for lingering conversation and more of a lively pit stop for tacos and cold alcohol. Inside, the compact dining hall packs visitors along shared, communal tables, creating an unmistakably bustling American street-food energy. Diners queue via on-site CatchTable kiosks, where wait times move fast thanks to a quick-turnover open kitchen. The ordering process is split: mains and sides are punched into automated kiosks, while drinks are purchased separately at the counter. Beverage cases are stocked with an array of imported bottled beers like Stella Artois and San Miguel, alongside wine, cocktails, and Bundaberg sodas, opened immediately upon payment. The food leans bold, spicy, and heavily seasoned, designed squarely to complement alcohol. Tortillas are visibly fried, lending a crunchy, shatteringly crisp texture that holds up against rich fillings. The birria beef tacos deliver robust shredded meat with punchy, chili-forward seasoning, while the pulled pork offers a deeply savory, textured alternative. A notable side order is the french fries, served topped with a fried egg that breaks over the crispy potatoes. Seated shoulder-to-shoulder with neighboring patrons while looking out over the tranquil palace walls, the experience is defined by the sharp contrast between Jongno’s quiet historic masonry and the restaurant’s kinetic, border-pushing street eats.
