mj korean tacos & wings

i wavered to even review my lunch..... nothing really to say. it was completely average, as you might expect with aplacethat advertises itself as a korean taco joint. but, i want to be charitable here , since the whole fiasco is my fault. i admit it. i was working in gwinnett county, near buford hiway - an area known widely for its authentic ethnic cuisines...but without a guide, i was overwhelmed with all the choices. sadly, many are in the language of the country of origin only. oneplacei drove up on turned out to be a sweet shop/bakery..... and i thought i should try something i could recognize. what was i thinking? any choice, language barrier be damned, would have been better when in this area. after a lunch i could’ve gotten in my own neighborhood, i drove right past a huge place, bustling with locals, that had pho as a marquee steaming away.....oh how i wish i had rolled the dice,..
was it good? yeah. was it cheap? almost (12.00 two-taco lunch special) will i ever drive out of my way to go there again? nope. friendly staff, clean atmosphere, pretty good bulgogi......still won’t pull this out of the middle of the road.

upon learning about my food blog, my boss and one of my coworkers asked me if i’d tried mj korean tacos & wings. i hadn’t. and as a fan of asian fusion cuisine like takorea, my interest was instantly piqued. so one day i ventured out to see what was good. i didn’t know what to order. honestly, i didn’t know what to expect. it took me about 5 minutes toplacemy to go meal. i ended up ordering two shrimp tacos, garlic fries, and sweet tea, which was an 8.99 lunch option (the tea and fries were both $1 upcharges). twenty-five minutes later, i was on my way back to work.

service was so bad we left. get to the restaurant and every table is full but with food already. we were also meeting people there during a lunch break. the server did not tell us the wait for food was 50 minutes when we ordered (and how does it take 50 minutes to make tacos?) when we asked 20 minutes of waiting in, we were told another half hour. then the waitress walked away before we could tell her we'd have to cancel our order. so we left and she came out to yell at us. i would've been happy to ask her to cancel the order if she hadn't walked away while we still talking to her. would've loved to try the food but thisplacewill not be getting my money. go to any of ther other dozens of korean tacos restaurants in duluth.

overall, i'm a huge fan of mj korean taco & wings. from the vast menu selections (parmesan fries-cannot repeat this enough) to the incredible service and terrific atmosphere, there isn't anything i don't love about this new addition to duluth! it's definitely aplacei'd bring and recommend to friends and family looking to try something new and exciting. and honestly, in my opinion, mj's is 110% better than hankook and takorea combined (considering i've been to both places a few dozen times) in terms of overall atmosphere, service, food and even parking!
