Small and popular, reservations are recommended; trusted by over 120 guests, Cantina Rima is the go-to for those seeking sincere, flavorful Mexican cooking in Kita.

in the last weekCame to Osaka and was craving some delicious Mexican food. We found this place and it was exactly what we were looking for. The food was freshly made and so flavorful. The shrimp quesadilla was my favorite and the house made salsa was so delicious. The owner was so kind and mentioned that he is part of a music group, next time we are back we will definitely return and check out the music!

in the last weekThis is our third bar in Nakazakicho. I visited with a colleague. The interior is small, but the decor is exotic. It really gets you excited. I'm happy that they have a wide selection of Mexican beers I've never heard of before, in addition to the classic Corona. This time I went with a Bohemia Pilsner. It has a deep aroma and rich flavor from Czech hops. I ordered the limited-edition carnitas and guacamole chips. The guacamole chips are served with a dipping sauce made from avocado, salsa, and spices. The nachos are crispy and fragrant, and the guacamole sauce is a little spicy. It goes well with beer. The carnitas pork was tender and fall apart. According to the menu, the pork is marinated overnight in orange, pineapple, cumin, and oregano, and then simmered until tender. It certainly takes a lot of effort. The chopped onions and cilantro add a refreshing touch. The tortillas are apparently homemade. I ordered a chocolate latte for dessert after the meal. This is also an imported product, so there is limited quantity. It has a nice cinnamon flavor and is very delicious. It seems like it would be perfect for the upcoming season. I thoroughly enjoyed the Mexican food and beer. Thank you for the meal.

in the last weekBeing from Los Angeles, I believe I know good Mexican food. I must say this restaurant is one of the top Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been. Everything was made fresh and was incredibly delicious, not to mention the drinks were on point. There’s great music and a great vibe. I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food
