in the last weekAs a Hispanic from Texas. Tex-mex is my thing. If your like me, your gonna love it here. Barbacoa? Its amazing. Best in and near tokyo. Its expensive mind you and tacos are very small. But they are GOOD. Great salsa too. If you want something equally delicious and far cheaper, order the carnitas. Them pork tacos are so good as well, ugh god i loved them. I recommend to all texans and mexicans. Its great here.

a week agoWhen I looked up lunch options in Sangenjaya, this place came up highly. I haven't had many opportunities to go out for tacos, so I was looking forward to it. I had the impression that taco tortillas were hard, but the dough here was fluffy and soft. Some of the ingredients were taco-like, while others were more Japanese-style, so I enjoyed the creative menu. It would be even more fun if they served alcohol. It's also nice that you can control the amount you eat.
