A review of Oldies Taco in Euljiro, close to Euljiro 3-ga Station, covering takeout wait times, Oldies Taco, birria taco, Mega Potato Bomb Snack, and eating by Cheonggyecheon.

I visited Oldies Taco in Euljiro. It was more famous than I expected, and after trying it I understood why people talk about it.

It was within a five-minute walk from Euljiro 3-ga Station. On a weekend afternoon, the area was crowded. We checked the wait time on Catch Table before visiting. Since eating in means standing at the table, we decided to get takeout and eat slowly by nearby Cheonggyecheon. At that time, takeout had about one or two teams waiting, while dine-in had about five teams.

Oldies Taco had a very hip atmosphere from the outside. The shop was smaller than expected. There was also a second branch nearby, so checking the wait time and moving there could be a good option.

Order list: Oldies Taco, birria taco, and Mega Potato Bomb Snack with Oldies Taco-flavored potato chips.

We ordered the most popular Oldies Taco, the birria taco, and the Mega Potato Bomb Snack. For one month from August 23, the snack came topped with Oldies Taco-flavored potato chips instead of the usual chips, so I had to try it. After ordering takeout, it was ready in about ten minutes.

After a short walk, we reached Cheonggyecheon. There are places to sit along the stream, so we opened the takeout on a bench.

These were the Oldies Taco and birria taco. It was my first time trying tacos, and I did not realize they would be this small. For a full meal, it felt like each person might need three, but they were tasty. I liked the tangy sauce, the crunch of the vegetables, and the spicy sauce.

The Mega Potato Bomb came assembled inside a snack bag. To make it easier to eat, we poured it into the taco takeout container after finishing the tacos. The chips, vegetables, and meat worked together better than expected.

After eating, I understood why Oldies Taco is so popular. If you are in Euljiro, it works well as a snack rather than a full meal because the portions are small. I was still hungry afterward and ate bread too.
