4 months agoBeen wanting to check this place out for a while, glad we finally did. This is the real deal - and one of only two decent places to get a burrito in Nagoya as far as I’m concerned! There’s a good selection available on the menu, as well as some nice import beers. Prices are a leetle too high however, so be aware. While you’re here check out the decor, it’s grand.

a year agoI frequently go here at least once a week and always order their nachos. It’s served warm and the ratio between the meat and nachos is perfect. The nachos themselves can handle the weight of the meat when you scoop it, they don’t break easily. The cilantro and salsa flavors are well-balanced. I prefer nachos with a bit of spice so their selection of Cholula hot sauce as well as Tabasco sauce are available. There are also other hot sauces to try but these 2 are my favorite. I don’t have a big appetite so their serving of nachos is enough to fill me up for a meal. It’s become my comfort food and I’d go here everytime I need a nachos fix.

2 years agoIf you are from the states or feeling like you need a change of pace, this is a cool, welcoming, down to earth place with good food, people, and vibes. Staff is multilingual and very helpful. A wide variety of events and family friendly.

2 years agoThese are the most authentic tacos I have had in Japan. I'm from LA and these are better than some in LA. It is a little pricy at 500 yen per taco but you can get all 4 for 1500 yen. The place has a decent San Diego vibe as well. They have DJ events occasionally and sell craft beer but it's much to pricy for my taste.

3 months ago**updated - May, 2025** Well, the space itself is still cool, but ownership and management has changed. Now everything is more expensive, portions are smaller, and the quality isn't as good as it was under the original owners. What a shame. I used to love this place. Hopefully the new owners are just still figuring things out and will make some improvements. The mango lassi gelato float was nice, but the burritos were pretty disappointing. **Original review (under previous ownership)** Very cool spot with interesting staff, nice events, tasty food, and a good selection of craft beers. It's not cheap, but you pay for the quality and the atmosphere.
