Salsita

My first time sightseeing in Tokyo in several years I asked Gemini a question: "I once ate a $1 taco in a slightly dangerous Mexican neighborhood while sightseeing in Los Angeles, and it was incredibly delicious. Can you recommend a place in Tokyo where I can eat real Mexican food?" And the place they recommended was this one: "If you want real Chicano-style (authentic street tacos), this is the place." However, the menu didn't have the Asada, Lengua, or Tripa that I wanted to eat! It wasn't a "street tacos" place, but a restaurant serving proper cuisine. The tacos and salsa weren't the taste I was looking for (disappointing).

Everything tastes delicious. The perfect place for tequila lovers.

I've eaten a fair amount of Mexican food, including making it myself, but this was completely different. Delicious. I listened to the waiter's recommendations and said OK, and it wasn't as oily as I expected, and I finished everything quickly.

This time, I visited with a friend who was born in Mexico City as my guide. I've been to Salsita many times, and while they offer guacamole, tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, what's appealing about this place is that they have a more refined selection of regional dishes that you don't often see in typical Mexican restaurants. Their impressive selection of tequila and mezcal is a dream come true for drinkers, and you might discover a new side to the aromatic Mexican spirit. This time, we ordered four dishes for dinner. The atmosphere is also charming, with decorations that evoke the warmth, spirit, and cheerfulness of Mexico, making it one of the best Mexican restaurants in Tokyo. 〈Dishes we had〉 ◾️Sopes Recommended as an appetizer. A Mexican-style pie with a flavorful, chewy corn pastry shell filled with black bean paste, lettuce, boiled chicken, and cottage cheese. Satisfying and filling, it satisfied my heart from the very first bite. ◾️Flautas Charming flute-shaped tacos, made with your choice of chicken, pork, or beef, rolled and fried to a crisp. The plate was generously lined with fresh vegetables, providing a refreshing and crisp contrast. ◾️Chicken Mole Poplar The sauce for the tenderly stewed chicken is a savory chocolate sauce made with cocoa, four types of chili peppers, nuts, and dried fruits, sprinkled with white sesame seeds, creating an irresistible slightly spicy aroma. ◾️Cochinita Pibil A representative regional dish from the tropical Yucatan Peninsula, this dish features pork marinated in the orange juice of the red berries called achiote, wrapped in banana leaves, and slowly baked in the oven. A vibrant dish featuring pickled red onions, a very spicy habanero salsa, and black bean paste and salsa. Enjoy it wrapped in a tortilla. 〈Wine served〉 □Mexican Red Wine A rare Mexican wine. A blend of Cabernet and Malbec, tannic and powerful. □Mezcal Terumbes A deep flavor with the aroma of fresh green grass and the powerful taste of agave slowly roasted underground. A subtly smoky, pleasant finish, a beautiful drink that's easy to get addicted to. San Luis Potosi (Salmiana) Thank you for a fun, intriguing, and extraordinary culinary experience.
