Los Tacos Azules

Never underestimate the food in Tokyo. I can't imagine that I can find very good and authentic tacos in this neighborhood. The masa (Mexican corn dough) is just great, strong maize aroma. The fillings in the menu are all simple but solid combinations, like the chillis with brown mole, carnitas, and chicken with green mole. They even brings up some local ingredient combo like whitebait (しらす) omelete which is very good filling in taco. Remind you that this is a breakfast taco shop, and you need to prepare for queue even on workdays mornings. Many tourists flocks here from time to time. Recommend for tacos lovers if you visit Tokyo and thirst for tacos.

The food here are amazing. Very authentic tacos & also chilaquiles. I spent a lot of time in Mexico so I am happy to find an authentic place in Tokyo! Definitely recommend!

Really relaxed taco place with super creative food. Simple and easy but the different combinations were great. Especially the different kinds of mole and the seasonal tacos were super tasty. Recommend for lunch and brunch!

People say this place has the best tacos in Tokyo. The shop is right near my university and opens early for "morning tacos," so one day, after going to the gym, I decided to splurge on the Morning taco omakase. Inside, there's a clean modern feel, with vibrant energy and cool contemporary Mexican popular music playing. The walls are painted to match the homemade blue corn tortillas, which they cook to order on the griddle that sits right in front of the counter. After I ordered, they brought me a small bowl of tomato salsa and another of tomatillo salsa verde. Both were flavorful, well salted, with light heat. The first taco they brought might've been the best. Simple and elegant: eggplant salsa, avocado, goat cheese--sprinkled with fresh cilantro leaves. The eggplant salsa had a great silky texture, well-complimented by the creamy goat cheese. In this context, the avocado came across fruity and firm. I was impressed that a small taco could make me reevaluate my impression of avocados. The blue corn tortilla was delicate and tender, just a touch of masa grit. The next one was a white corn tortilla with wilted okahijiki (land seaweed) and smooth refried black beans. The greens were fibrous and nutty, the beans smooth and creamy. The white tortilla had more of a doughy texture than the blue corn did. I had one bite plain, one with red salsa, one with salsa Verde. All were good. Again, very simple, but deeply satisfying. Taco three had nopal cactus, simmered pork cracklins, refried beans and cilantro on blue corn. The chewiness of the simmered cracklin' was a great juxtaposition with with tortilla's mealiness and the beans' smoothness. The fruity acidic spicy nopal and fresh cilantro were a bold contrasting texture and flavor. Taco four was green pepper and chicken gizzard on white corn. This one also had the bean spread and fresh cilantro. Plus, a sprinkling of sesame seeds. The chicken gizzard texture is not my favorite, but I enjoyed it here with the rich sauce. I added a bit too much salsa and made it too spicy. The final piece was fried pork belly, with a cracklin' on top. What's not to like? Succulent pork belly, crispy pork skin, fresh taco. It was great. I guess a creative sauce would've been fun, but it was still delicious. I tried it with both salsas and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I decided to order one more thing after the omakase: the simple quesadilla with Hokkaido cheese. The woman at the griddle flipped it a few times and letting the tortilla fry in the cheesy grease. The Hokkaido cheese was a great compliment to these fresh tortillas. It has that distinct Hokkaido creaminess and it's very elastic and buttery. These are bougie tacos. But they're done well, with a very Japanese character: minimal ingredients, robust flavor, bold texture. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was expensive (but not more so than other upscale taco joints in Tokyo). I don't know if I'll go back, but I have nothing negative to say about it.

As a Hispanic from Texas. Tex-mex is my thing. If your like me, your gonna love it here. Barbacoa? Its amazing. Best in and near tokyo. Its expensive mind you and tacos are very small. But they are GOOD. Great salsa too. If you want something equally delicious and far cheaper, order the carnitas. Them pork tacos are so good as well, ugh god i loved them. I recommend to all texans and mexicans. Its great here.

I was so amazed by how delicious the tacos were! First of all the tacos are all freshly made on order- this makes so much difference. Then the toppings… wow. Most of them are heavily Japanese influenced, but the combination of Japanese and Mexican tacos went so well together. Simple ingredients, no unnecessary stuff, but you realize how well executed it is once you bite in the tacos. Don’t come here if you only want to eat traditional Mexican tacos, be open minded and you will love this!

So grateful to have found a spot with decent tamales in Tokyo. The house special carnitas tacos was great too! Definitely recommend

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a weekday. It was busy but I was setted quickly. The staff are friendly and attentive. The menu has English descriptions. I ordered the regular carnitas, special carnitas, tamale, and passion fruit agua fresca. The agua fresca was lightly flavored water. Both carnitas were delicious. The regular was soft and flavorful. The special was fried. It was crunch and tender and very well seasoned. The tamale was chicken and while the chicken wasn't very flavorful, the masa was soft and tasty. The salsas were nice. I paid with a card. I may return.

These have to be the best tacos in Japan. I don't want to say they are the best that I've ever had until I've visited at least a second time. I'm having trouble saying that I've found tacos in Japan that are better than what I've found in Mexico and California. The handmade blue corn tortillas are a familiar sight and they didn't disappoint. I went along with the omakase even though I knew that it would mean getting two tacos that had only vegetables inside them. Surprisingly, these were actually good. I ended up trying 5 different tacos but the star for me was the Carnitas. This Carnitas (special) taco was so good that I ordered a second and was tempted to order a 3rd or 4th. I was eyeing the Wagyu Lengua taco but ultimately decided that I would leave that for next time. SERVICE Excellent. It's like you are dining at a nice Japanese restaurant but they are serving Mexican food instead. The restaurant is small. Inside, it looks like a Japanese sushi restaurant. It has bar seating as you would expect at an omakase restaurant. The other part of the restaurant has normal tables.

Excellent food and service, and a beautiful restaurant to enjoy a breakfast. Very quiet, good to read or dine in with a small party. We recommend the nopal drink and lemonade, and the omakase style taco offering. Some of the best tacos I have ever had!

Amazing food! Staff was so friendly. The tacos were excellent. Stand out was the Matcha Tamale!! Proved so true, we ordered two!

Best tacos that ive ever had in my life, even better than those in Mexico! Picky Japanese makes better food!
