Son Heung‑min’s taco shop visit draws fan frenzy in Mexico

South Korea captain Son Heung‑min, accompanied by teammates Lee Jae‑sung, Kim Seung‑kyu, Song Beom‑geun and his father, stopped at a well‑known taco restaurant on Chapultepec Avenue in Guadalajara after the Group A match against the Czech Republic. The players were greeted by a crowd of fans taking photos, and the staff member named Alan said he was “extremely excited but had to stay calm” while serving the team. Alan praised the players for being “very polite and friendly,” handed out autographs and noted that Son quickly finished the al pastor taco with guacamole and lime.

Mexican net‑users commented that the restaurant was not the best place for tacos, preferring street‑side versions. The visit was framed as a brief physical and mental refresh before Korea’s next Group A encounter with Mexico on June 19, after their 2‑1 win over the Czech Republic.
