I remember going to Casa Maya (까사마야) years ago when they were in Apgujeong. Great memories of margaritas on a patio. I don’t recall the food, off-hand, but this was the only Mexican place near me, when living in Seoul (Casa Loca’s former Apgujeong location hadn’t opened by that time, nor was Dos Tacos‘ in Gangnam), so my atttitude on the food was ‘beggars can’t be choosers’. That’s not to suggest it wasn’t good, it’s just that I was happy enough to be having it. I’ll have to defer to Ines Cho’s more candid review in the Joongang, when she visited Casa Maya’s new location in Hongdae after they closed the one south of the river.
Edit: What’s with Apgujeong being kryptonite for Mexican places? First Casa Maya moves, then Casa Loca’s place in Apgu and King Taco bow out. I’m still reeling from the loss of Shwing, even though that had nothing to do with Mexican. Dos Tacos is still in that area, though. But who knows for how long.
