Tabelog ratingLos Tacos Azules Ebisu (ロス タコス アスーレス 恵比寿) treats the humble taco with the precision of a tasting menu. The centerpiece is the blue corn, which the kitchen mills in-house to create fresh tortillas for each order. Served from an open kitchen with counter seating, the experience is focused on watching the craft up close.
The star of the show is the tortilla itself, praised by countless guests for its aroma and texture. The menu is compact, often experienced as a five-taco "omakase" set, which reviewers recently paid around ¥3,650 for. The Carnitas Special (around ¥850), topped with crispy chicharrón, is a signature item. Other fillings change seasonally and might include creative combinations like nopales (cactus), chorizo with potato, or egg with shirasu (whitebait). The friendly service often includes explanations of each taco and drink pairings like corn tea or natural wine.
While the food earns high marks, some visitors report practical issues. Service can be slow, with long waits between tacos and occasional mistakes in orders. A few find the signature carnitas oily, and many note the portions are small for the price—expect to order several tacos to feel full, which can make the final bill add up. A typical lunch spend is between ¥5,000 and ¥5,999.
As a culinary experience, most find it offers good value, with the quality of the tortillas justifying the premium. However, if you're looking for a large, inexpensive meal, this might not be the right fit. A meal of five tacos with a drink recently cost one reviewer around ¥4,450.
