Go out exit 5 gangnam station and make a right at the Jump Milano.
Excellent enchiladas and slyders (small hamburgers). The enchiladas have a tart salsa
with cheese on top. Tortillas are alright, a bit dense. Slyders come in teriyaki, chili, and or topped with cheese. Good meat and flavorful. I didn’t like the cheeseburger slyder-no flavor.
Concrete interior with a mock taco truck inside. Lunch specials for
5800. Entrees start at 6800. I want to get the burrito next time.

    Awesome! You've found a place with sliders.

    Do they have tacos? Would love to hear if they are any good.

    Their Enchiladas were good and the chili beef on my slyder was good, so my assumption is that their taco is good as well. Thanks for reading.

    It's been awhile (like 7 years) since I've been back. It's good to hear Hispanic cuisine is starting to sprout!
