What people say, in short
Kitade Tacos is recommended across its Tokyo outlets for Mexican food; one diner singles out the carnitas and karaage at its Tokyo Station outlet and another praises its street-style tacos at a small Chuo-ku outlet. Caveats: one commenter thinks the Shimokitazawa branch now serves smaller portions, another found the same branch merely alright and poor value for the money, and one wrote it off after three visits. One vegan commenter found the vegan options good but lacking spice and seasoning.
