    The flavors here are amazing, and the dishes have a good level of spice. If you want something closer to authentic Mexican flavors, this place comes the closest in Japan.

    Had dinner here while visiting Kyoto last weekend and the food was fantastic! The chips were freshly made, as was the guacamole. We ordered tacos and a burrito... everything was delicious. It’s so hard to get good Mexican food where I live so when I travel around, I like to check out Mexican restaurants if I come across one. The service was also great. It’s a small place and they were very busy, but super nice and took care of everyone as quickly as they could. I was not a fan of their margarita, but maybe it’s just me. I will definitely be going back!!!

    Lovely Mexican restaurant, nice for a bit of change from Japanese food. The food is so delicious, especially the mole enchiladas! The vibe is great, sitting at the bar listening to some Mexican music with a margarita 🍸 The ladies that work here are also so welcoming ! I also got to stick a pin in the map for Ireland (I’ve always wanted to do that abroad but never got a chance )

    Oh my god!!! Get yourself to this small and pleasant restaurant as soon as possible. The food, while not 100% authentic, the effort is really, really commendable and delicious. I ordered the wagyu tacos, the mole chicken, and the chicken enchiladas, and I walked away very, very happy. The margaritas are strong and without the typical sugary syrup. I very well could use ky JR rail pass just to visit again from Tokyo.

    Over priced food for the food quality, 500 yen for a drink you finish in 2 sips and is mostly ice is way over priced. place is is a little uncomfortable from how small it is . But most small places are. Food was ok but don’t expect to be blown away by it. I was disappointed in the food maybe I set my expectations too high. Wouldn’t come back
