in the last weekAbsolutely fantastic food and drinks. The chef makes everything himself right in front of your eyes. It's a small place so it fills up quickly but the atmosphere is great.

a week agoThis restaurant, rare in Shizuoka, serves a variety of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. The wide variety of food and drinks means you'll never get bored. The Mexican atmosphere inside the restaurant is truly intoxicating. Everything is delicious, but I especially love eggs, so I went for the Huevos Rancheros! I absolutely love the soft-boiled egg, chili con carne-like sauce, and avocado wrapped in a tortilla and drizzling away. It's a flavor you won't find anywhere else. I also love the refreshing ceviche. The meat carne asada and arrachera are also tender and juicy! Definitely a must-order. I also love that you can choose between corn or flour tortillas. A rare treat is mole poblano! A chicken dish in chocolate sauce. It's a Mexican regional dish. At first, I wondered what it would be like—chicken and chocolate?! But the balance of sweet, spicy, bitter, and umami flavors made for a strange yet delicious taste. The accompanying rice was also incredibly delicious! This is a restaurant where you'd rather gather with a group and enjoy a variety of dishes than dine alone. All the dishes are spicy, yet somehow mildly seasoned, so I think they'll be enjoyable for people of all ages.

2 months agoThe ceviche and quesadillas were delicious. The ceviche was adapted for Japanese tastes and was very easy to eat. As expected from Shizuoka, where seafood is delicious, the ingredients were fresh. They also have a wide selection of tequilas, so it seems like a restaurant where you can enjoy a variety of drinks.

6 months agoI went there with a colleague from work! The atmosphere was like a hidden Italian restaurant, and the place was bustling with customers! It was my first time eating proper tacos, and they were filled with a variety of ingredients, including tomatoes, salsa, avocado, chicken, and potatoes, but they were all easy to eat and incredibly delicious! I felt the prices were a little on the high side, but if the average is around that price, I think the satisfaction level would be high! The atmosphere was lively, and it's a great place to go, whether you're alone or with a group! If you want to try tacos, it's definitely worth a visit.
