mexican food

[chronovore]

Pretty sure that I have previously bemoaned the lack of Mexican food in my part of Japan. I haven't sought it out in Tokyo, but Osaka is barren for the stuff. There was a shop called Pink Adobe in Osaka, and I found that there was a branch in Kobe. When I went there on Saturday, our first trip to Kobe in nearly a year, Pink Adobe was out of business, the storefront featuring the kind of gutted appearance of a shop that has been cleared out for some months, and the new inhabitants of the space not yet decided.

All this by wayward way of saying, I would dearly love a burrito right about now. Preferably big and smooshy, with a lot of sour cream and maybe chili colorado.

...

This is SO not helping.

Well, if it helps any, some disturbingly hairy man has a surfeit of bad burritos on his hands. The perfect burrito can be elusive- ah, who'm kidding? The guy who lives in Colorado will just shut the hell up now.

There's a few decent spots in Tokyo. I've been to one in Nishi-Ogikubo (I think?), one in Naka-Meguro, one in Daikanyama (with an Iron Chef chef, no less), and another in... Omote-Sando was it?

Two of the four were great (Daikanyama one and Omote-Sando one), and the other two were very good. If you ever wanna go sometime when you're in Tokyo, lemme know and maybe we can arrange an outing with some of the Mexican fans. :)

I couldn't find a good osakan mexican restaurant but I did find this neat link for expats there. Click past the plea for money if you get it.

I'm surprised that they have El Torito, but not a Baja Fresh (owned by Wendy's) or a Chipotle (owned by McDonalds). Hell, if it's that popular, maybe I should move over there and open a Mexican place!

There are a few really good mexican places... including one near your house in hirakata.

Go to makino and walk north along the street. on the left there will be a small mexican place called El Mustacho.
