in the last weekIt was delicious, but... It was expensive A 1/6 avocado for 450 yen. The most expensive beef taco was 860 yen. Huh, is that all...? I went there without any prior information, so I was sad when I got the bill. The soup that was labeled "Barbacoa" was actually bean soup for 1760 yen. It was certainly delicious... It was delicious. But I decided to order blue masa from Amazon and make it myself. If I had unlimited money, I'd like to go eat there again.

in the last weekI arrived around 10am on Sunday. Luckily there was no line, so I went in immediately and sat in a prime seat right in front of the counter where I could watch them prepare the tacos. The tacos are served simply, with a slightly smaller, moist tortilla and only the ingredients inside. They have toppings, but they really focus on the flavor of the ingredients themselves. The most popular are the carnitas, chicken mole rebelde, and quesadillas. They're small, so you can easily eat 3 to 5 of them. The tortillas were especially delicious and chewy, so I'm sure anything would taste good in them. There were two kinds of sauces, and the guacamole was particularly tasty. It was a different kind of taco than what I usually eat, and I tried several kinds, so I'll definitely go again.

in the last weekIt was tasty, but at this price, you naturally expect a certain level of quality, and it didn't exceed that. Overall, I wouldn't want to wait in line to eat it again.

a week agoA must-try! The flavors are amazing, and they include great free-refill salsa, both red and green. I really enjoyed the quesadillas and ordered the omakase, which is five different tacos—all delicious. The guacamole was incredible, so well done! I recommend the matcha tamale (it's small), a delicious dessert, and I loved the strawberry soda. I would definitely return ✨❤️ because the service is impeccable, the place is comfortable, and the tortillas are 100000/10.

a week agoI visited Los Tacos Azules a little while ago, a place I'd been wanting to try for a while. It's a popular spot, and there was a line, but since I went a little early, I only had to wait about 20 minutes. I ordered guacamole, quesadillas, whitebait omelet tacos, classic carnitas, and special carnitas. First, the guacamole is highly recommended; it paired perfectly with the crispy tortilla, and the portion was generous, making it a great first dish. The quesadillas had wonderfully gooey cheese, making them very satisfying. All the tacos were delicious, but personally, I preferred the special carnitas to the classic. Overall, I was very satisfied, although the bill can be a bit high if you order a full meal. However, it was so delicious that it completely changed my perception of tacos, and I definitely want to go back. Thank you for the meal!
