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