Taco and cocktail lounge with house-made tortillas and DJ

"A restaurant operated by chef Wes Avila in Japan, following his departure from Guerrilla Tacos." - Mona Holmes

"I note that Piopiko in Kyoto is another of Avila’s projects, part of the range of restaurants he’s been involved with beyond Los Angeles." - Rebecca Roland

"I noted that Avila opened Piopiko at the Kyoto Ace Hotel in 2020, and that he says he will travel and spend time at his Kyoto restaurant." - Mona Holmes

"I note that Avila’s next venture is Piopiko, a taco/cocktail lounge he developed inside the Ace Hotel Kyoto, which opened on June 11." - Mona Holmes

"Chef Wes Avila is opening a new Mexican restaurant in Kyoto called Piopiko — a rethinking of the name Pio Pico — that will operate as part Mexican lunch-and-dinner option and part cocktail lounge inside the Ace Hotel Kyoto; Avila teased that the restaurant will even make its own corn tortillas on premises." - Farley Elliott
