Gone are the days when you couldn’t find a decent taco in Tokyo to save your life. Whether self-taught or armed with taco knowledge soaked up at the source in Mexico or Southern California, hardworking taqueros across the city are now turning out product that deserves to be called authentic.
But when it comes to authenticity, we’d argue that nobody does it better than 3 Hermanos. The brainchild of Yamato Furuya, who spent years in Mexico City learning the ways of salsa and suadero, this street tacos specialist set up shop in Harajuku in spring 2024 and quickly became a sensation. Furuya has since been featured on Mexican TV and shouted out by innumerable international taco connoisseurs visiting Tokyo.
With long queues still regularly forming at the Harajuku shop, hungry taco fans everywhere will be happy to hear that 3 Hermanos is now opening up a second Tokyo location. Set to start business on Sunday April 27, 3 Hermanos Ebisu sits by the Shibuya River next to the Shibuyabashi intersection – just a stone’s throw from our very own Time Out Café & Diner.
In Ebisu, Furuya and his team will be serving up delicacies familiar from the Harajuku shop – including their superb carnitas, arrachera and suadero tacos – plus occasional limited-time specials.
3 Hermanos Ebisu (1-16-1 Hiroo, Shibuya) will be open 11am-4pm and 5pm-10pm daily, with last orders 30 minutes before closing time. Check out their Instagram for the full details.
