at God Eat

God Eat is a Mexican restaurant.  Specializes in Tex-Mex.  The etymology of the name starts with the English “got it,” which became “갓잇” in Korean, then transliterated back into English as “God Eat” – one of the dumbest names in GMTD history.  Part of a franchise chain, currently 5 locations.

Located in a renovated house, way down a back alley.
Despite what the quiet, spacious interior would suggest, a long line of waiting customers had formed by 1145.

The 1-page menu is mostly about tacos and burritos, and a few other items.

Buffalo wings??

The food was okay.

The shrimp in the tacos were kinda bland (likely the kind that come peeled and frozen in a bag), but the toppings were fresh and well balanced, all wrapped in soft (unheated) flour tortillas.

Free cilantro is always a good sign.

The problem with the chicken burrito was that the components didn’t include any binding agent (e.g., refried beans or sour cream or guacamole) – also, it came pre-cut, further destabilizing the structure – so the whole thing fell apart into separate pieces after a couple bites – better to order this in bowl form.

Looking forward to the enchilada.
