in the last weekWe ordered the nachos as well as the chicken and the Tex Mex tacos. Honestly the best Mexican we've had, can highly recommend; everything was delicious and texture was perfect, especially the crispiness of the nacho chips. I had a few of the shochu sodas with lime that are far too easy to drink! The staff are lovely and the vibe is very izakaya-like, and the price was reasonable. This is certain to be a must-return for us whenever we're in Kyoto.
