Authentic Mexican food in japan. Who would have thought that was possible? However Senor La-La Matsumoto was able to accomplish this in the 30 year-old Casa de La-La restaurant in downtown Sannomiya, Kobe.
According to Senor Matsumoto, to obtain the authentic taste, one must use authentic ingredients. “The beef and chipotle peppers are only a few ingredients that we import from Mexico.”
Casa de La-La features a large menu with tasty Mexican food from bean burritos to soft beef tacos to banana chimichangas.
The atmosphere is quintessential to that of a typical Mexican style restaurant one would find in the United States or Mexico. Colorful clothing and decorations hung on the adobe walls. A pair of guitars and large sombreros waited in the corner for the mariachi songs to be sung.
The one thing that brings it all together is the use of Spanish with the native language. After every meal, you will hear the workers shout, “Arigato gozaimasu!(thank you very much) Muchas Gracias! Buenos Diaz!.”
The lunch menu runs about 700-1400 yen.
Dinner meals run about 800-2500 yen
