We believe food should be prepared with nothing less than the best.That's why our salsas and dishes are all made from scratch. Made with only seasonal, local and preferably organic ingredients, even our corn tortillas are homemade!We have tried and tested every dish, every sauce and every ingredient over and over until it's perfect, to make your experience one above the rest. And we always keep one thing in mind.Real tacos are not fast food. Real tacos are meant to be full of the tender, juicy, rich flavor of a steak, cooked to your preference; with at least as much care and dedication as a chef would put into a steak.

We had our first omakase here and it was very delicious experience. We order the Yawaragi crusine course. Our sushi chef was a lady name Mihoh I believed and she was very skilled and talented. Will definitely come back and try other crusine courses.
