The Drunkard

My wife is Mexican and we can say, it is the most authentic food and atmosphere outside from Mexico.

This is a renowned restaurant in Hakata where you can encounter truly unique and exquisite cuisine that you should definitely try at least once when you visit. While the atmosphere is welcoming even for solo diners, its popularity is undeniable. The level of satisfaction is so high that it's easy to understand why reservations are essential. Visit Time: I made a reservation and visited right after opening time on a weekday after work. Even though it was early, the restaurant was already bustling with reserved customers, demonstrating the effectiveness of prior preparation. Crowd Situation: This is such a popular restaurant that seats fill up as soon as it opens. It seems quite difficult to get in without a reservation, so I strongly recommend making a reservation as soon as your plans are finalized. Menu Ordered: This time, I ordered the Marinella, Pastor, and a drink. The Marinella, which I've been ordering for years, is truly unique and delicious—a taste you can only experience here. It has a profound flavor that you rarely find elsewhere, and I was impressed once again. Restaurant Atmosphere: It's a lively yet somehow calming space where even just diners can feel comfortable. The staff were very attentive, and I was able to enjoy a pleasant time that helped relieve the fatigue of my business trip. Points to note: Each dish is quite large, so I was too full to even get to the ceviche I was looking forward to when I was dining alone. If you want to share and enjoy various dishes, I would like to revisit with a group of people next time.

I went there for lunch. The tacos were delicious, but I wish they would ask if you like cilantro... It was finely chopped, and it was difficult for someone who doesn't like it to remove it. The price is a little on the high side for lunch.
