Located in a small plaza on N. Decatur, this incredible fusion Korean/Latin restaurant is serving up delicious food, and hefty portions, all at an affordable price!

We ordered the Fusion Chicken Burrito and the Fusion Tots to-go, and needless to say, I am HOOKED! The food stayed hot and fresh, even on the 20 minute drive home!

The Tots are my favorite! Sweet and savory marinated beef, mixed with bits of crispy pork AND bacon, piled high over the lightly fried tater tots! It checked every single box off my list of what I want loaded tater tots to be! The Burrito was massive and was filled with plenty of tender marinated chicken! Not to mention, the special hot sauce we got on the side was pure flavor!

The staff was so friendly! The gentleman, which I believed to be the owner, was extremely kind and personable. He took the time to explain everything they placed in my to-go order, and you could tell he really showed pride in the food.

I am making Komex my top spot for tasty eats!!” – Chelsea S.

I had the veggie taco and the beer battered avocado (some great vegan and vegetarian options for me!) while my boyfriend had the shrimp and beef crunchy taco. His eyes literally rolled in the back of his head it was so good. Nancy behind the bar makes the absolute BEST margaritas too. And tequila isn’t my thing, I’m more a whiskey girl. Anywho, you gotta come here if you want good food. Or stay away so I can have room at the bar ;)” – Tami M.

Top Review: “Recommended by a local major venue food & beverage manager friend, this place hit the marks. We had the tasting menu, totally reasonable at $45/head.

Chips & salsa were delish. Carnitas taco – just heavenly with the severe contrast of the tender carnitas & chicharon crunch. Wow. Siu Mai was so good, tuna ceviche – yum, 20 veggie fried rice- yes!

Camerones Al mojo de ajo – wish I had more. The mini churro looked like a breadstick but was deceptively decadent, salt air margaritas were our drink of choice but the gin & tonics looked so good we had to order one to go at the end. Would return in a heartbeat.

Service was stellar as well. A+” – Drew F.

This place has always been one of my favorite places and is probably my number one spot in downtown. Great atmosphere with great food. The staff is always so friendly too!

The chicken skin is always amazing. The Foie butter & jelly is a must try. The pecan halibut was a little dry for me. Gyro tacos were good. The pecan buckle was pretty awesome too.
