  I've been eating here since 2010 and have never been disappointed. My wife and I usually get burritos from here bi-weekly. The food is always delicious, the service quick and efficient, and the prices are fair. As my wife and I are vegetarian and pescatarian (respectively) the beans burrito is our go-to burrito. The corn tortilla chips are also delicious. The spicy sauce is spicy, but not overwhelming. Highly recommended for those who want burritos, as there are few places in Osaka city that serve these kinds of burritos.

  Tex-Mex is my favorite so when I moved from California to Osaka, I thought I'd never find a burrito quite like the ones back home. Fortunately, El Zocalo Burrito comes close to those beloved flavors. While it's not an exact match, I appreciate the taste of familiarity.

  Even though it was past the typical lunch rush hour, the seats were mostly full. We luckily came when there were open seats, but we saw others turned away. I was happy that there was a small discount during lunch hours on weekdays (until 3PM I believe). My chicken burrito was not bad, but I also wished it had more flavor. If I visited again, I would try a different flavor. My partner liked his beef burrito well enough. We ordered guacamole to go with our chips, and it was good. Small complaint would be that the drink cup size was good, but as is common in Japan it came about ⅔ full and less than that if you take out the ice.

  I eat here semi regularly, and the burritos here are excellent, the size and taste is great and doesn’t taste ‘japanified’ at all, as so much foreign cuisine does here. Less than 1000 for a big fat burrito, I recommend the chicken one personally. There is also a selection of world beers which is nice, the side menu offers some good stuff too but the burritos are by far the best. The store itself is somewhat lacking in atmosphere but isn’t bad by any means, and the lady owner can be rather cold in her service, but again not horrible or anything. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving a burrito!

  This cute diner is conveniently close to Yotsubashi station, and has vibes of a SoCal bistro. Offering more than 30 craft beers and liquor, the menu was condensed compared to most taco eateries in Osaka; a welcome change to do a small menu well! Food was prepared fresh with minimum wait, with sounds of the owner cooking in the background. The food was very good, authentic. I will certainly return to this restaurant next time I am in Osaka.
