Located in the heart of Shibuya, La Cabina is a lively Mexican eatery that brings the flavors of authentic street-style tacos to Tokyo. Run by Mexican chef Haim Cifuentes, the restaurant has become a go-to spot for those craving real Mexican food in a casual and social setting.
The concept combines a taco truck atmosphere with the convenience of a sit-down restaurant. Guests can enjoy classics like tacos al pastor with pineapple, carnitas, chorizo, Baja-style fish, and seasonal specialties such as ceviche or sopa de tortilla. Fresh ingredients and bold flavors make each dish stand out, while creative touches — like tempura fish tacos — add a modern twist.
Situated in front of ØL by Oslo Brewing Co., La Cabina also offers an excellent range of craft beers, making it an ideal place for both food lovers and those looking for a vibrant hangout spot. The setting is casual and welcoming, with indoor tables and an outdoor terrace that captures the lively Shibuya vibe.
While the restaurant can get crowded during evenings and weekends, its energetic atmosphere and high-quality food have earned it a strong reputation among both locals and international visitors. Prices are mid-range, typically around ¥2,000-¥3,000 per person, depending on how many tacos and drinks you order.
La Cabina is more than just a meal — it’s an experience that celebrates Mexican street culture in the heart of Tokyo.
