2 weeks agoMisleading prices postes at the entrance, tourist be aware there is a charge for tourist and a mandatory drink order that's over priced, that charge is not posted neither on the outside sign or in the Japanese menu clearly just for tourist. Food was not the best, not the worst either, but definitely not authentic, carnitas had hard parts in the meat, the chorizo was had a strange take on it, but again it was missing flavor. Ended up paying ¥7,450 for 4 tacos for myself, 3 tacos for my friend, 2 beer. Definitely got taken advantage. The chef was nice, and bathroom was clean. We did wait close to 45min to get our order. Definitely you can pass this place if you are in Osaka.

a month agoThis shop near Matsuyamachi Station opens at 9 PM. The tacos are delicious, made by a friendly owner. Cheerful Mexican music plays inside. We recommend the carnitas, made with rare blue corn.

2 months agoGreat food, the chef is nice and amazing. I’m sorry for tipping, I meant no offense just really loved the service and the kindness you showed me. Just don’t mind the older crowd because you will definitely stand out. I think the green chorizo and the ceviche was my favorite. I had a shot of whiskey, a draft beer, 5 tacos, chicharrones, and the ceviche. I recommend this place.
