17 Mapa Minami is a tiny restaurant tucked into Shinsaibashisuji in Osaka, where friendly, open-kitchen service turns every meal into a performance. Guests rave about chef-prepared tacos with balanced, vibrant flavors that keep you coming back, and the menu also shines with creative vegan Mexican options. Expect an intimate, welcoming vibe, personable service, and thoughtful pairings like tequila for a relaxed night out or a memorable bite while exploring the neighborhood.

hace un mesThe flavors work well together without being too overwhelming that it made me finish my meal which I usually don't or maybe the smell of it just made me hungry. They also prepared it in front of you so you can see what they've done to your food.

hace 5 mesesWe stumbled upon this place and intended to have just one taco but ended up having 5! Really authentic tasting Mexican tacos and super friendly and smily chef/owner… the don Julio tequila was delicious too. An unexpected delight in Osaka!

a year agoWe ordered the spicy and chicken burrito and the Avocado and Shrimp burrito as well as some Butter Soy sauce fries. The burritos were good, flavourful and has enough sauce in, but the portion is on the smaller size so it's good if you're not too hungry. Reasonable prices. The staff were very friendly and the store has a nice vibe. They also installed this plastic curtain to block out the wind and the smell from people smoking outside.

3 months agoIf you’re from California, Texas, or Mexico, this place may disappoint. Don’t get me wrong. The food is decent, but it’s nowhere near the restaurant’s rating or reviews. I ordered a large “17 Meat burrito” with guac and sour cream for 1,700 yen. The heavily cumin flavored meat tasted like beef, but with a name like “17 Meat,” I’m almost sure it’s a combination of different meats. There’s cabbage inside, which I didn’t particularly care for, seemingly substituted for beans. I would’ve more preferred some pinto or black. The guacamole that I’m used to is thick, vibrant, and flavorful. The guac in my burrito, however, was almost non-existent. I had to conduct surgery on the burrito to make sure it was there. What probably happened is the consistency was very watery and got “absorbed” by the other ingredients. Being disappointed with the size/quality, I ordered 2 pork tacos with sour cream for 1,300 yen (see picture). I was still hungry after the burrito, but deep down inside of me, I wanted to invalidate my 1st impression. Long story short, I should’ve left after the burrito. Total cost: 1 large burrito: 1,700 yen 2 pork tacos: 1,300 yen 1 Suntory beer: 600 yen —— 3,600 yen
