in the last weekAlthough I arrived late, I was still able to enjoy delicious food. It's a one-man operation that shows the chef's commitment to detail, but it does seem like it takes a while to prepare the food! I recommend visiting when you have some time to spare! Thank you for the meal

a week agoCame here on our vacation to Osaka. The suadero tacos were 10/10. As a Mexican myself , I was very curious to see how it compared and I was very impressed!! Will be coming back on future trips and recommend it to anyone wanting tacos.

2 weeks agoSeptember 2025. Sorry, this information is quite old. It's a French restaurant until 9pm, and then it becomes a taco shop. The taco shop is run by a single person, so things take quite a while. The ceviche and swadero were delicious.

2 months agoThe best tacos in Japan 100% recommended for those who miss tortillas and the flavor of Mexico, with handmade blue corn tortillas, the sudadero and carnitas tacos are much better than other tacos I've tried in Mexico, there is a bad review that they did not want to serve 5 people, they should be aware of putting those bad reviews that affect the popularity and flavor since if the place is small for a maximum of 15 people and because of the way they prepare the tacos from the beginning, from making the tortilla first and then sewing it, it takes a while but it is worth the wait
