ZION TACO HOUSE
자이온 타코하우스 Jaion Takohauseu Zion, the biblical name for Jerusalem, is the label shared with the burger shop upstairs; taco house simply says what the ground floor serves.
Compiled from 13 blog posts read in fullSources →
A taco shop on the ground and second floors of a building in the old-restaurant alley beside Sewoon Sangga, near exit 12 of Jongno 3-ga station. You order at a kiosk on the ground floor: four tacos at 5,700–6,400 won each, plus a birria rice soup at 9,700 won. Floors 5–6 are a separate burger shop, Zion Jongno, and posts say food from either can be eaten on floors 1, 2, 5, 6 or the rooftop. Until March 2026 these two floors were the Zion Coffee House; taco posts start in June. We read 29 posts from October 2025 to October 2026; 13 describe eating here, and we set aside 10 that were about the burger shop or other branches.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Six posts describe ordering at a kiosk and collecting a buzzer. Tacos are ordered and paid for on the ground floor, burgers separately on the fifth. One post warns the buzzer doesn't reach the rooftop, so pick up your food first; another had to go back down because a review-event coupon only worked on the ground floor.
- A single taco is small, two posts said — one suggested two per person, another wondered if one would fill anyone up. Many posts describe ordering several kinds and sharing.
- Four posts describe the rooftop's view of Jongmyo, Sewoon Sangga and Namsan Tower. But posts from June to August keep saying it was too hot to eat up there; one noted there's no shade or parasol, and three mentioned the air-conditioned rooms inside.
- Though this was a café, one post said the taco shop doesn't sell coffee. In an autumn 2025 post, someone ordered a 5,000-won Americano on this same floor.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Three posts mention a lift, and one added that a wheelchair could get in. Four place the ordering counter on the ground floor. Nobody said whether there's a step at the entrance.
Two posts found the toilets clean and stylish, but nobody said where they are in the building or whether they're separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 19 posts we gathered, 6 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- The ground and second floors changed hands within the brand: posts from October–November 2025 describe the Zion Coffee House here, a March 2026 post found the ground floor under construction, and taco posts begin in June. One mid-June post lists an octopus taco where later ones list lamb barbacoa. A taco visit dated February 2026 means we can't pin down the opening month.
- Posts split one to one on price: one found it higher than expected, the other reasonable. Two tacos run about 11,000–13,000 won, but no post said what one person spent in total.
- Only one post mentions waiting: they got a table straight away in the evening. Nobody wrote about lunch or weekends — that means we don't know, not that there's no wait.
- Four posts give the same opening hours — Monday to Saturday 11:00–21:00, closed Sunday — though all in copied info blocks. Only one gives last orders at 20:00.
- Only one post gave a phone number (070-8820-3131), and nobody said whether reservations are taken.
