The Men Taco is a Mexican restaurant on the ground floor of a residential complex, five minutes' walk from exit 1 at Ttukseom station. Beyond tacos there are quesadillas, burritos, fajitas and poke; a single taco starts at ₩9,500 and a platter for sharing runs to ₩49,500. Between five and seven in the evening a beer is ₩3,000. The four posts we found span three months of the summer of 2026.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

What sets it apart

  1. Two posts record beer at ₩3,000 between five and seven. One notes a board outside announcing it, and people coming in off the street because of it; another timed their visit for five o'clock. Outside those hours a margarita beer works out at ₩6,500.
  2. Three posts mention a washbasin in the dining room. Tacos are eaten with the hands, and the shop has put a sink where you do not have to go to the toilet for it; one writer found hand cream there too. Two note wet wipes, disposable gloves and hair ties at the self-service bar. Three call the place clean.
  3. You order from a tablet at your table — three posts say so, and two add that the kiosk by the door is for takeaway only. Two watched takeaway and delivery orders going out steadily while they ate.

These are raw counts, not percentages. Someone who did not mention something is not someone who disagreed.

The prices here are what bloggers wrote down in their posts, and they may have changed since. Check Naver Place for the current menu and prices. This list is not a menu board — it counts what bloggers actually ordered and ate. Check on Naver Place

Parking

1 posts say you can park. None say you cannot.

Posts saying you can park1 of 4 posts

Only one post says anything about parking, and all it says is that there is some — not where, not how, not what it costs. The other three do not raise it. Three of the four walked from Ttukseom or Seoulsup, so a call ahead is the reliable way if you plan to drive.

Getting inside

Second flooryes 0 · no 1

No post says whether a wheelchair or a pushchair gets in. One notes a ground-floor unit with a sign visible from a distance, but nobody writes about a step at the door or the width of the aisles. Two do say the tables seat four and are set well apart.

No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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.

What we do not know

  • We read four posts. Every count on this page is out of four; three out of four means three people, not a pattern. One writer thought the place newly opened, which would explain how little has been written. This is all we could find.
  • The opening time differs a little between posts. Three give 11:30–22:00 daily; one gives 11:00 on Monday to Thursday. All four agree on an afternoon break from 15:00 to 17:00, and three on last orders at 21:00. Arriving mid-afternoon means arriving during the break.
  • No post discloses sponsorship, and none says they paid either. All four are silent, and silence is not the same as taking nothing. Two do mention a soft drink or guacamole given for writing a Naver review, so some of these may have had one.
  • Only one post touches on the toilet — a writer heading for it to wash their hands, who found the sink in the dining room first. Whether the toilet itself is inside the restaurant or out in the building, they do not say, and nothing is said about separate or accessible toilets.
  • No post describes a queue, and none describes an empty room. Two remark that there are plenty of tables and a group would be fine — an observation about the seating, not about waiting for it. One saw people drinking beer outside the door.
