Alex Quinn's Japan Journal

9/17/2005, Mexican food, finally!

I'm not sure why, but I've been hankering for food from home lately.  All kinds of stuff.  I made a huge list the other day.  High on that list was some decent Mexican food.  Not Taco Bell.  Like some chicken molé.

Bless her heart, Akemi found me a fine Mexican restaurant right in Osaka.  I was thrilled.  So, I took pictures of our food to remember the thrill and jog my memory next time I'm craving it.

Akemi's fajitas.

Akemi's fajitas.  I was a little surprised to find green beens (in back).  But, really, it was all very good.

My chicken molé.  Really tasty.

The ambiance at the restaurant, which is located just outside America-mura in the Shinsaibashi neighborhood of Osaka.  Although there are Japanese people in this picture, this place actually attracts a huge number of foreigners.  America-mura, despite the name, is still made up of 97% Japanese people.  But, the people at this restaurant said it's generally about half foreigners.  At one point while we were there, there were about 7 foreigners and 6 Japanese people in the restaurant.
