Mexican Ola Tacos - Osaka

Oh, my! This is Legit! I live in Japan and one of the things I miss is really good Mexican food! I was in Osaka for a concert and that came as an option for a place to eat near our hotel. We ordered the nachos, chorizo tacos and carnitas tacos.... everything was DELICIOUS! I also ordered a margarita. Strong, but so smooth. Next time I'm in Osaka.

Food: 5/5 Authentic Mexican Food Service: 4/5 Can feel underaffected when there are only 2 persons working Value: 5/5 Good portions of food, good value for money atmosphere: 4/5 It is cozy and somewhat smaller, but with charm and character Authentic Mexican Cuisine in the heart of Higashi Shinsaibashi. Chef trained in Mexico while spending time with a host family as a student. Formed by La abuelita de la familia, so learned the family recipes that have left the generations can not be more authentic than that. Smaller venues, which can be packed during weekends, so recommend going early. Can't comment on the drinks because I'm not so sharp on Tequila. But her collection is quite extensive in view of what I showed on the shelf at the bar. The actual score would be closer to 9/10, but there is a 5 out of 5, as there is the 2 most important aspects when it comes to places that serve food, it must taste good and must have reasonable prices.

Delicious tacos. Friendly and helpful staff. Will be back again for sure!!! Definitely check this place out if you’re in the Shinsaibashi area!!

Racism. So I am a mexican with asian feautures, and blonde hair at that time and was discriminated in a mexican restaurant , I thought it was only me, but I have been reading comments and now I realize that I was trully discriminated. 2 times owner did not allow me to get in, 1st attempt he told me all was booked, so I believed and left. 2nd attemp, weeks after he told that was close and people was there eating and I just say okay and I left. This was at 2019. I was just a mexican girl long term visiting japan fue to business trying to taste mexican flavors after long time. Hopefully I found other tacos restaurant with a very good taste and very friendly owner and cookers.

The Estrella here is the fried queen! Hands down the best Latino dish I've tried so far in Japan! I'm gonna dream about this little goodness. The music was amazing, so it is a great place to chill. I only had the non-alcoholic cocktails and they were pretty good. The only con was the Carnitas. I mean, they were good, but didn't have this delicious Carnitas taste. I don't know if they were really seasoned. But the green tomato sauce saved the day. I was hesitant to try, but I was surprised how delicious that Salsa was. Overall, I will come back to get another Quesadilla with Salsa and I will try their other Tacos. Muy rico!
