    It’s getting easier to find, but it was really hard for years. Even if you find a place that does Mexican (or TexMex or CaliMex), the menus tend to be limited and it tends to be expensive. I think the place I go in my nearest big city (Sendai) has tacos that are only a few cm in diameter and like 500 JPY each (pre-tax median annual salary is < 5 million JPY).

    I found one place that did decent TexMex in Tokyo and it really went downhill after corona IMO. Not only did the menu get smaller, the prices went up.

      Dude… Have you tried papusas yet? Not Mexican but, ya know, south of the USA. They’re so friggin good.

      Mexican food and tacos are just scratching the surface of Latin American food. It’s all so good and so different.
