Mexican Food.

I am totally doing everyone in the whole world a favor right now by giving you this information. I have found maybe the best Mexican restaurant, I mean, best restaurant ever. Since my move to Japan, I have found some savory morsels of Mexican food, but they are far and few in between my friend. This restaurant I found yesterday is a true gem.

It is called Fonda de la Madrugada. It is located in Harajuku.



It is quite spendy, but worth about every penny. (A drink and a generous meal including desert will set you back about 5000 - 7000 yen)

Here is a review that I tend to agree with:

"Serving what is probably Tokyo's most authentic Mexican food, this dark basement restaurant has a cavernous main dining room, several small and cozy offshoots, and a strolling mariachi band, making it seem like you're dining in a Mexican villa. Shrimp marinated in tequila, chicken mole, and soft-tortilla tacos served with chicken, fish, beef, or pork are just some of the items on the trilingual (Japanese/Spanish/English) menu, along with the requisite Mexican beers; tequila shots and shooters; margaritas; rum and vodka cocktails; and wine from Mexico, Chile, and Argentina."

Here is a link for a little more information: http://www.englishok.jp/shops/fonda/index.php

I had Course A and a Pina Colada. It was good from salad to flan con helado. If you happen to be living in Japan or traveling here, just stop by when you're in harajuku, you'll thank me.
