Fried Chicken Quesadilla
I'm a Mexican living for 9 years outside of Mexico. This are the best tacos I have ever tried outside of Mexico and it definitely beats some Mexican restaurants in Mexico.
Cocktails are a perfect 10/10.
Carnitas tacos are the best 12/10.
Great service, great atmosphere, small place so arrive on time or get a reservation. Definitely one of the best restaurants in all of Japan.

Tacos Carnitas 2p
Mexican Ola Tacos Bar in Osaka turned into an unforgettable night (except we actually don't remember much of the end)! Arriving after the kitchen closed, we were welcomed by the incredibly friendly staff, leading to an evening filled with many, many drinks and great company! Kanpai!

The carnitas tacos are amazing!
I am from America and I am also Mexican, so to be able to to eat some tacos at Mexican Ola Tacos Bar made me really happy! I miss Mexican food, and since Osaka is a big city I figured I could find a place that serves Mexican food. I was surprised at how good the carnitas were! They were pretty authentic carnitas if you ask me. I couldn’t just leave the place with only tacos, so I also ordered the fried quesadillas de chorizo. Again, it was delicious! I had two drinks. I love tequila, so I was happy with the tequila drink menu. I had the Matador and El Diablo. Drinks were well made. You can tell that they were strong, but they were so smooth to drink. I recommend this place if you are craving Mexican food. It’s worth it!

Quesadilla
So happy we found this place! After a week of eating (delicious) Japanese food, we wanted to have something else ;) this place serves better tacos than we ever had in Europe. If you feeling like changing cuisines for a night this is a great place to do it!

I loved the Tacos and quesadillas over here. The pork especially was very tender and seasoned nicely. The menu is not really big but that's better in my opinion as the items on there are all tasty and its easier to keep fresh ingredients that way. Quesedillas can be ordered fried or non-fried. I recommend the fried option.
Tacos go for around ¥700 for 2 and quesedillas are ¥1400 for a whole, with the option to take half as well. There are also good options for cocktails and tequila.
It might be a bit difficult to get a seat as often it's only reservations and the place is not very big, but I think it's worth it.

Sometimes, you just want tacos. This is an excellent place to get your taco-fix.
The staff are super friendly and are great for company if you are a solo-diner.
The fresh salsa and (I think) slow-cooked meats was so good, especially when you can add different level hot sauces.
The restaurant is small and has limited seating, so the smaller your group the better chance of sitting.
They also have a take away window if you wanted take-out
Will definitely return for more!
Food: 5/5 Authentic Mexican Food

Value: 5/5 Good portions of food, good value for the money
Atmosphere: 4/5 It is cozy and a bit smaller but with charm and character
Authentic Mexican Cuisine in the heart of Higashi Shinsaibashi.
Chef trained in Mexico while he was spending time with a host family as a student. Trained by "La abuelita de la familia", so learned the family recipes that have passed down generations, can't get more authentic than that.
Smaller venue that can get packed during the weekends, so recommend going early.
Can't comment on the drinks since I am not that keen on Tequila. But their collection is quite extensive given what I have seen displayed on the shelf at the bar.
Actual score would be closer to 9/10, but giving it a 5 out of 5 given that it satisfies the 2 most important aspects when it comes down to places that serve food, it must taste good and must have reasonable pricing.
Still excellent and very satisfying Tacos. Slight price increases due to inflation but still well worth the money spent. (Updated 11/22 and 01/23)
Oh my! This place is legit! I live in Japan and one of the things I miss is really good Mexican food! I was in Osaka for a concert and this came up as an option for a place to eat near our hotel. We ordered the nachos, chorizo tacos, and carnitas tacos..... everything was DELICIOUS! I also ordered a margarita. Strong, but so smooth.
I will definitely be back the next time I am in Osaka.
Delicious tacos. Friendly and helpful staff. Will be back again for sure!!! Definitely check this place out if you’re in the Shinsaibashi area!!
