Taco Ssam

Dining here was a mixed bag. First, I expected more fusion. It's not really a fusion restaurant. You can order tex-mex OR you can order Korean but the only real fusion on the menu is two taco choices or one meal. I went with the tacos. They were fairly bland. Nothing made me overly excited to have ordered them. Now what I loved was the ambient temperature. I HATE how no matter how hot it is outside I have to carry a jacket with me because it's always freezing cold inside in America. That wasn't the case here. I had my jacket with me but I never needed it. It was a nice comfortable temperature inside. The restroom was clean. The interior design is 100% Dia de los Muertos, no Korean fusion in the art but it was still cool. The bar looked well stocked. I bet it's a fun place to have a dr

Stopped in for lunch while visiting northern Virginia and was really surprised. Had probably the best fajita beef tacos I've ever eaten. Very clean, courteous service and fair prices. If you're in the area this is a must visit restaurant.

Love their tamales (even without salsa or sauce) and several other dishes—but service is painfully slow. I’ve rarely been able to place an order within 20 minutes of sitting down, even with just one other table occupied. Food often takes over 30 minutes, and too often it arrives cold. Young waitresses seem nice enough—think it’s just a training issue. I’d come here all the time if not for these issues.

Food was ok, tacos can be more flavorful, tortillas were a little bland with no taste. Elote was not grilled simply buttered up. Aguas frescas were really good and refreshing. Complementary chips and salsa were good. 🌮🍋‍🟩🌶️ Atmosphere music was waaaay to loud, could barely hear partner across table. Probably not coming back unless food quality improves.

Taco Ssam is great!!! Happy hour from 4-8 every day,(no one does that) , Food is authentic mexican style ,with some korean infused dishes. I recommend the Quesadillas as they are stuffed with meat unlike other places. If you are into Bourbon or Tequila, their is a huge selection not just the same old stuff everyone else has. Waitresses are very friendly. 10/10
