Afro Tacos - Yokohama

桜木町近くのアタタコスに訪れました。こちらはメキシコ料理のレストランですが、アメリカンな味も楽しめるおしゃれなロフトのある空間です。スタッフの方々は非常に気配りがあり、訪れた際にはすべてを丁寧に説明してくれました。今回は「チップス」を注文しました。

I was here for a birthday. It was overpriced, underportioned and under seasoned. For example we asked how many pieces were included in the Jalapeno poppers. The answer was 10. We were delighted as these are a favorite treat. But there were not 10, there were 10 pieces of poppers already cut up maybe 2 actual jalapenos . the Quesadilla 800 was the size of a quarter normal flour tortilla and then cut into delicate triangles topped with finely sliced jalapeno and peppers, but there was almost no cheese. The beef in the tacos which was in chunks, to my dismay had no seasoning but plenty of meat tenderizer. For flavour the chef relied heavily on coriander, mini limes, and chunks of pineapple !! which is fine, but they do not make mexican food. I also felt sure there a sort of prawn shell after taste on the corn tortillas. I will say that the pulled pork was fine apart from the fishy flavour . But at 660 yen per piece, we were barely able to eat our fill. The drinks were so weak as to be almost unrecognizable as alcoholic. it was crazily over priced and really disappointing. The staff were wonderful. But even good staff can't save a total rip off like this place. I am used to hearty portions of rice, beans, tortillas and delicious fillings, strong drinks and a festival atmosphere. This had none of those things. I strongly advise against coming here.

Very beautiful restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and welcomed us with a smile. Would come back here again for their drinks instead of their food, though. The food was very instaworthy and the taste was okay. It was pretty expensive though since the serving size was pretty small. Would come here again after eating a filling dinner to drink and have snacks.

I have been searching for a yummy Mexican place here in Japan and I finally found it. The burrito and the quesadilla were perfection. They are even better than places I have been to in America. The flavors were fresh, yummy, and full of life. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend. I got a frozen mango margarita and it too was really good. The portions are small so don’t be afraid to indulge in the selection. The service was also top tier for us being foreigners. Update: I would recommend making a reservation. We went to go back on a Sunday and the upstairs was booked for a party and the downstairs was reservation only but already booked out. Such a disappointing after the commute so make sure to reserve before heading there.

Though i had veg tacos, but it was so bad! They use lotus stem which had weird taste in tacos! I have never had such bad tacos! 3 cheese snack quesadillas is just fancy dish with no taste! Its is like wasting money! You wont even feel the taste of cheese! Overpriced! And takes charge for just sitting!
