There is one, and only one, authentic Mexican restaurant in all of Japan. Tiny Domingo, in the unlikely location Nerimaku, is out of the way –but not too far to be frequented by staff from the Mexican Embassy. Reasonably priced, run by Japanese hippies who studied art in Mexico and learned cooking along the way.

Just ate at Junkadelic near the Roppongi area (the second store, not the original in Naka-Meguro). It was terrific. A bit on the pricey side but very very good. My wife and I were craving that mexican cheesy flavor that we so missed from the US and it hit the spot. The spicy chicken fajitas were perfect and my wife loved her beef tacos.

There is one in Kichijoji, it’s small but good priced, and the food is really good as well. Occasionally it has tabehodai offers for 1600 yen. It’s at http://bit.ly/9FOZkw (google maps link).

I’ve eaten at La Jolla since 1987, so I don’t think “newcomer” would be accurate. I wonder why you thought so.

The new burrito place (Chipolte copy) is Frijoles.

Fresh, decent and quick. Just off the A-Z shotengai.

Has anybody tried the new Mexican restuarant in Azabu Juban? I heard their burritos are huge and the quality is similar to Chipotle in the US.

La Jolla has been here since the 80′s. I ate there in 1990 and never went back. Maybe the food was ok but the owner and staff were the rudest. It was a real shock. Never went back and still give them the bird everytime I walk by.

Im glad you mentioned Rosario as being crap. I went to that place when it opened in Jyugaoka a couple years ago. Terrible. There is another place in Jyugaoka that is a taco bar of sorts. It is also not so great. Fairly expensive and the margaritas are tiny, like shot glass tiny.
