Fritos Restaurant — Restaurant in Carmen

Went there to eat three times as I like Korean food. First time the place was almost empty. I sat a table for four. The owner came over and tried to move me to a tiny table I could hardly fit into. So I left. Second time I sat at another small table. Ordered the beef with vegetables with rice. Owner said he could not make it spicy. Nice tender beef but veggies were just onions, carrots and some other vegetable. No broccoli etc. It was decent but not filling and not worth 5500c. The third time it was empty except for a large Korean group at the back table. Looked like friends of the owner. Took a small table the owner brought me a menu. Nothing was being cooked. Guess owner chef was preparing to cook for the large group. Was ignored for what seemed like 15 minutes. Got up and left which angered the owner. He is a weird aggressive little guy.

Worked out well as I went south 2 blocks to Wongs. Had a fantastic chicken and vegetable spicy stir fry with ginger and great veggies. Tried a few dim sum items as well. Only could eat...

Very basic Korean food... Not sure if there are a lot of Korean options in the area, but this food was just okay at best. If you are looking for great Korean food and are used to eating it on other big cities, I think you'll be disappointed. At least some of the meal was pre prepared and warmed up (warmed up in a pan at least). The kimbap was not very flavorful and was not accompanied by the normal sauce it's served with (usually a sesame oil sauce), we got soy sauce when we asked... The bibimbap egg was overcooked, the yolk was almost entirely cooked, and the whole plate was just warm, no crunchy rice on the sides... The japchae was definitely premade and warmed up, but it might have tasted good when cooked fresh. They also had no water to drink. There were two people working the entire restaurant, if you go in and see the restaurant is fairly packed, you'll probably have a very long wait. Overall, the prepreparing and lack of freshly cooking the food really made it...

The place is nice and clean. The service was attentive and friendly. The food came out surprisingly quick as well, we did not have to wait too long for our meal.

I Order some Kimbap and Tteok-bokki The freshness of the ingredients really comes out in a Good Korean Meal. Both things I ordered were great and the portion is very adequate.

They also offer 3 side dishes as a sample (Kimchi being one of them) and boy that Kimchi is Goood. I recommend!

To close things, I ordered a Korean Tea made of green tea and rice water and it brought the meal together.

I had a very pleasant experience at...
