Vatos Urban Tacos At South Beach Avenue - At the Entrance

Vatos Urban Tacos At South Beach Avenue – Esplanade, Singapore

Vatos Urban Tacos is CNN named “Hottest New Restaurant in Seoul” is here at the South Beach. I only managed to pay them a visit only when they are about to celebrate their one year anniversary. 

 

Ambience is causual with a bar-like feel. As such, it is dim. Personally, I always prefer dinning in sufficient lighting if I have a choice.

Vatos Urban Tacos At South Beach - Complimentary Tortilla Chips

 

We didn’t know that Complimentary Tortilla Chips was offered. A pity it doesn’t come with guacamole. Perfect is there is guacamole as ala carte order though don’t remember spotting it on the menu.

 

Vatos Urban Tacos At South Beach - Fresh Guacamole & Chips ($11)

 

Hence, we ordered a Fresh Guacamole & Chips ($11). We love the chunky texture of the guacamole but we dislike the tons of onions in it. 

 

Vatos Urban Tacos At South Beach - Spicy Chicken Quesadillas ($17)

 

Spicy Chicken Quesadillas ($17) is an item infused with Korean style and this is a recommendation at Vatos. On the tortilla wrap is a layer of baked parmesan cheese. We love this idea; perfect for cheese lovers.

 

Vatos Urban Tacos At South Beach - Braised Carnitas Taco ($10 for 2)

 

Diners could order Tacos in 2 or 3. We opted 2 Braised Carnitas Taco ($10). Marinate on the pork was exactly what we enjoy though not the wrap. We find the wrap a little too doughy.

 

 

NAHMJ Verdict

 

We like the concept of infusing Korean influence in the dishes offering a Vatos Urban Tacos interpretaion of Mexican food.
