On The Border — Restaurant in Seoul

It is not that easy to find On the Border in the COEX Mall but you can use one of the many touch screens to get directions in English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese (I think). There are also lots of helpful staff that will show you which way to go. On the Border is on the 1F above the COEX mall. Just up one escalator. If you find the BIG bookstore and reading area you can orient yourself. The restaurant was not very busy when we went. Maybe this is the COVID effect. The mood was good and the staff were nice but not very responsive. In fact, the place looked a bit overstaffed! And even then, they were slow to come over when I called them.

I used to frequent “On The Border”when I lived in Atlanta and was surprised to see one here. The decor and food is the same as I remember it in the States. I give the food and service 5 stars but was surprised at how much the food cost. I get the location commands $$ but was nevertheless surprised. I went out of my way to eat here and it’s definitely worth the...

Great variety of delicious food. Close enough to the real mexican style(or maybe not). I recommend this place for special occasions, maybe like a birthday party or any kinds of celebration. And apart from the good food they serve, the outstanding location (right next to Coex) and the lively, cheerful atmosphere makes this place even better. Not to mention their great customer service. But this place is popular so you might have to go early to not stand in line or make a reservation beforehand, especially...
