Tabelog ratingWhat began as a popular food truck outside the National Azabu supermarket has grown into a permanent, if compact, restaurant in Ebisu. 440BROADWAY TACO SHOP (440ブロードウェイ タコショップ) serves up hefty burritos and tacos that reviewers consistently compare to the large, tightly packed style found in California or at chains like Chipotle.
Guests consistently praise the huge portions and the well-balanced mix of tortilla, rice, beans, and guacamole. The pork carnitas are a standout, frequently mentioned as a highlight, and the fish tacos and quesadillas also receive regular acclaim. Many foreign residents call it the best burrito in Tokyo, appreciating the fast service and the availability of vegetarian and vegan options. A single burrito is often described as large enough to share or to constitute a very filling meal.
The main drawbacks are practical. The shop's opening hours can be irregular, with sudden closures, and popular items sometimes sell out. The Ebisu location has limited, compact seating, making it better suited for takeout, which many enjoy in nearby Arisugawa Park. While a few find the prices a little high, most agree the generous size makes it good value for central Tokyo.
Reviewers in 2024–2026 reported paying around ¥500 for a chicken taco, ¥1,300 for a chicken burrito bowl, and ¥1,700 for a beef quesadilla. The typical spend is between ¥1,000 and ¥1,999.
