in the last weekThe tacos are really good here! Came to visit on our first day in Kyoto and we returned a second time the day after. Would definitely recommend this location.

in the last weekHmm. I didn't want to give a bad review because they're trying so hard, but I'll go ahead and rate them highly. First of all, they only offer takeout, but it got soggy after about 5 minutes. The dough is low in moisture and the filling is high in it, so the dough repels the moisture from the filling, making it very difficult to eat. The taste is average, but I don't really understand why they use bamboo charcoal in the dough. They cook slowly. It's located in front of Nishiki Market, so there are a lot of foreigners and not many Japanese, so I guess that's why it's rated this way. I ordered a taco and there was a hair in it. They could make the dough bigger without using bamboo charcoal, or make it more coarse. They could marinate tomatoes and other ingredients in oil first. I think they could come up with some other ideas. If they're doing this in Japan, please try harder. I'll come back.

in the last weekMaybe best tacos in Kyoto would give them a 5 but they downsized their tortillas and hence portions since the last year.
