Though I lived in Asia for long, I really love mexican food. Wow, we have authentic mexican food in Aobadai, too! The restaurant is Cantina SALUD. (Cantina means ” Tavern” or ” Bar” SALUD means ” Cheers”or ” Toast” in English).
Where is the restaurant?
Atmosphere
Once you step into the restaurant, you definitely will be excited ! Interior deco in the restaurant is perfect enough for you to enjoy Mexican food there ! Vivid colour of the wall , mexicantic painting, mexican style of table cross, yee haw!
There are counter seats, too. Before you go home, just drop by this restaurant for a couple of drinks with yummy mexican food. You can also enjoy conversation with friendly owner-chef. He is very outspoken and easy to talk to. Even you go this restaurant alone, don’t worry.
Food
I ordered Choriso + Corona beer for appetiser and main dish – Chili con carne + Taco rice.(menu name : Chilicontaco rice 780yen). Very yummy ! Yes this is really mexican taste! It looks a lot when I receive this Chilicontaco rice . But once I started having this rice, never stop eating! The food is not oily at all so I could finish this volume easily!
Some wondered this mexican food is cooked by Japanese chef so the taste should be very Japanese. Nooooo! chef had been trained in Mexico and L.A. ! He knows authentic taste of mexican food well.
By the way, their secret menu is Pasta. Their pasta is also yummy ! Please try it!
