I was in Hiroshima and found this little Tex-Mex restaurant near the bomb dome. It was great, and I say that as someone originally from Texas. Search for it if you’re ever there.

    Weird note, if this is the one with the cowboy hats on the wall, the woman who owns the place was a child when the bomb was dropped and she will tell you about her memories of it… Both of her children died of cancer in their thirties. She was in her late 90s… Maybe she passed away by now. I was there 15 years ago…

      I have photos of the interior. Let’s see if this is the one.

        Doesn’t look like it, but things change. Just made me remember a thing about a place.

    Man… I had “Mexican” in Hakuba in February… Boy, was it comical. The meat and ingredients were all soooo excellent, but the execution, presentation, and portions were almost too silly to feel real.

    Onions were fine chopped, wet burritos were soupy, tacos seemed cartoonish.

    What you had looks excellent.

    Otis!? I loved this place when I went. 😍 literally had the best time listening to a bass soloist that happened to be there.

        Yesss. It’s so cool to see someone else posting about it. Literally the highlight of my trip to Hiroshima outside of hiking Miyajima.

    It looks like a crispy enchilada, which I now realize is something I need in my life.

    The best Mexican food I ever had (this is including Mexican food that I had in Mexico) was in Bali. It was wild.
