Kitade Tacos is one of the restaurants and bars at Shimokitazawa’s Nansei Plus area, which is also home to Tefu Lounge. The lively eatery features plenty of indoor seating as well as a small outdoor terrace.
While Kitade Tacos prides itself on using local, Japanese ingredients, the flavours are unmistakably Mexican. The authentic corn tortillas are made from 100 percent Hokkaido corn and you can choose from a variety of fillings including pork carnitas, beef suadero and chicken tinga. For non-meat eaters, there’s a vegan option: tortillas topped with soybean tempeh, guacamole and avocado salsa.
Aside from tacos, the restaurant also serves taco rice, cheesy quesadillas and open-faced tostadas. For drinks, there’s natural wine and craft beer as well as the regular soft drinks.
