a month agoTasty carnitas burrito. I would go back and get this burrito again. The hot sauce was standard and did a good job. The burrito is on the small side but not a deal breaker(included my sunglasses for scale, I could eat 2). The nachos had decent flavors, but the house made chips weren’t crispy enough and didn’t work. Please get store bought chips, they will be so so so much better. Acknowledge this review about the nachos and I will edit and change to 5 stars. Thank you.

4 months agoThis place is great! I’ve been missing Mexican food for awhile, and the burritos here scratched the itch. Try them with the sauce they provide - I feel like it makes the burritos even tastier! You can pay with credit card as well.

10 months agoOne of the absolute best Mexican food restaurants in Osaka City. I moved to Japan from California several months ago and I've missed good, authentic Mexican good. Many places in Japan try their hardest, but tend to miss. This restaurant is an exception. My friend and I ordered the carnitas burrito and nachos, and they were delicious! I was happy to see actual pinto beans being used for their food. I was impressed! The staff were very kind, and the menu was easy to read. If you ever find yourself in Osaka, craving Mexican food, I'd highly recommend this restaurant. The prices can lean towards a slightly expensive side, but it's absolutely worth it.

3 months agoI’m from Texas so I’m picky about my Mexican food, but the beef was Excellent! There was enough fat to hold the flavor and it wasn’t over seasoned. The burrito🌯and margarita was made to perfection. It would be even better if the restaurant had spicier hot sauce, it wasn’t spicy enough. 🌶️ Thank you chef! You did a great job at capturing the right flavor and textures.🏽

a year agoI eat here semi regularly, and the burritos here are excellent, the size and taste is great and doesn’t taste ‘japanified’ at all, as so much foreign cuisine does here. Less than 1000 for a big fat burrito, I recommend the chicken one personally. There is also a selection of world beers which is nice, the side menu offers some good stuff too but the burritos are by far the best. The store itself is somewhat lacking in atmosphere but isn’t bad by any means, and the lady owner can be rather cold in her service, but again not horrible or anything. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving a burrito!
