About this place
Freshly warmed tortillas arrive at the table alongside an array of colorful fillings served in small bowls. At Kitade Shokudo, tucked into a corner of Iwamotocho, the taco plates invite diners to build each bite to taste, making the meal an engaging, hands-on experience.
The filling lineup covers rich skirt steak and classic pork carnitas, alongside aromatic cumin lamb and fragrant coriander shrimp. More unconventional options include cured mackerel (shimesaba), mushrooms, and tempeh katsu, ensuring that meat lovers and vegetable-focused diners alike find plenty to enjoy together. A spoon of salsa verde or pico de gallo adds a bright, refreshing lift to every custom taco.
Between tacos, cold starters like house tortilla chips with guacamole and salsa or rosemary fries made from Kita-akari potatoes make crisp, flavorful companions. The beverage list spans Heartland draft beer, Mexican bottles such as Tecate and Sol, premium tequilas including Patrón, fresh mojitos, and wine, easily keeping pace with the rhythm of the meal.
With its calm, cafe-like interior featuring counter and table seating, the space is equally comfortable for a quick solo lunch or an evening of sharing plates with friends.
