Then, after reading Tabelog, Japan's Yelp, it seemed that their portions were kinda big.
So, instead of going alone, I dragged Satoshi along.
The shop is located close to the Yotsubashi station and was easy to find.
The burrito is filled with rice, veggies and lots of tiny shrimp, delicious.
The chips are fried before serving and are delicious with the guacamole and a little drizzle of salsa.
Everything wasn't too spicy, and could have been spicier, but we agreed that it was perfect for people trying tex-mex style food for the first time.
It's not an area we frequent, but we'll be back when we're in this area. (Thanks Dayna!)

I am betting that Satoshi was glad that you dragged him along. That's a lot of delish food!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteDoes Mexican food in Japan tend to be more like the chains in the US--Taco Bell, Chipotle--or is there ever an actual Mexican population that is opening restaurants?
he loves guac & chips, Rowena, so I know he wasn't disappointed :)
ReplyDeleteThere are some Mexicans that have restaurants here Donna, but most of the restaurants I've seen are Japanese who have travelled to Mexico and/or the U.S. and try to replicate the dishes. I sometimes wish we had fast food types like Taco Bell here, so I can get some real "fake" cheese :)
Take care you two.

Ooooh, looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI also love burritos, Kat! They are so delicious and filling :)
ReplyDeleteSome good Mexican there. You can find some good authentic Mexican restaurants in Japan, but they can be harder to find than other cuisines.

Yum, I love Mexican food! I've never had it in Japan but I probably wasn't seeking it out to be honest, haha. There's too much other food that I want!
ReplyDeleteIt always interesting to see how other interpret stuff like Chinese and Mexican food.
ReplyDeletetrue K :)
