Mexican Food in Japan 🇲🇽 Is it Authentic!? | Wahoo's Tacos & More 

Love seeing this 🇲🇽🇯🇵 I am Japanese and Mexican and I love seeing more Mexican food in Japan ❤️

Good evening from Tokyo!! ☺️ Do you also like Mexican food!? What kind of Mexican food do you like!? As always, many thanks for watching x

as someone who was born in mexico & has dove into the asian culture, my biggest dream is moving to South Korea & starting an authentic mexican restaurant 😍

Hey Sarah here I am again, Mexican cuisine is my second favourite after japanese and it's really nice to see good quality Mexican food in Tokyo, really appreciate your efforts to bring different cuisines available in Japan to us👍🏻

I never knew that mexican cuisine is also a "thing" in japan. Tacos, burrito and chimichangas are my favorite mexican dishes

If you ever go to mexico, try them there. For like 5 dollars they give you 5 tacos (pretty small but double tortilla). Taquerias from the USA usually exagerate what the taco has (as it is very simplistic). So it does not keep the same flavor. Also. On the michoacan state they have pork tacos. A must try for whoever tries to eat food all over the world (you use the tortilla as scoop)

"Banzai in Japanese means BANZAI." 😄 Made my day. Great video once again!

I want to open an authentic Mexican restaurant in Japan. I have so many recipes handed down from Abuela. Do you think japanese people would eat menudo? Its a soup made with 2 kinds of tripe, hominy, in a lovely thick beef broth, garnished with cilantro, onion, jalapeno, and lime. You eat it with little french breads and its soooo good.

I have that exact tabasco (green bottle) in my fridge right now. I'd eat Mexican food every day if I could. Love it.

I've never seen a burrito wrapped so perfectly 😹

I'm Mexican and I live in Yokohama, there are many good "`メキシカンっぽい" food restaurants in Japan, and I sometimes enjoy them, but of course nothing would beat the source, the original!

OMG Sarah!! I am mexican and it makes me happy to see you enjoy mexican food xD By the way, you are more than just basic, you are cute and more wonderful things.

Of course. How could one dislike food in which beans play such an essential role? I was so jealous of this delicious looking burrito. When will olfactory television finally be invented ?!

I tried Wahoo's last month for the very first time, it was pretty good. Their fish tacos are the best ! 😋

This puts a smile on my face because seeing other cultures enjoy making other foods in their own type of way but keeping it close to the original is amazing 👍❤️ thank for this video and glad you enjoyed the foods Mexican food is amazing

Wahoo's is pretty common in So Cal. But there was a lot more Rubio's there which has similar things to Wahoo's

First time watching your videos and immediately liked and subscribed. Your something else 👍🏻👍🏻

Watching from 🇹🇴

"Banzai, in Japanese, means BANZAI" is my favorite thing I've ever heard you say. ;)

When the world opens up again, come to LA and I'll give you a best-in-class Mexican food tour. - a Mexican

Good review, good food, good video, I love watching it

"Banzai in Japanese means banzai! Banzai!" Very helpful, thanks

Wow that's so cool - a skate park outside of the restaurant! West coast USA vibes for sure. Ah yes, always a good sign when the burrito weighs more than you think it will hehe. "Basic" on the shirt, but we already know you're not! 😁

Cool to learn Wahoo's is in Japan. They're most known for their fish tacos, so give that a try next time.

I love Japan keep the great videos 👍

theyve got several wahoos in california.. definitely official. I love that place.

Beans are really easy to make I use this recipie for black and pinto beans. I wash the beans and let them soak overnight, then I cook them in low heat for a few hours with bay leaves knorr Suiza (chicken or beef) and half an onion, after they're done I add salt and pepper to taste. They're that easy, save some time and use a pressure cooker.

wow. looks good

Mexican Food is my favorite! Love to head somewhere like this if I go to Japan

Orale , food de MEXICO, en JAPON , nuestros tradicionales tacos , ❤

Hi Sarah, you are so pretty and watching you eating mexican food was perfection....You eat the burrito right, just unwrapping enough to eat but not all to make a mess..

Burrito bigger than you expected, heh. Nice to see Wahoo's Tokyo branch sticking to American portion sizes!

Ah... a bottle of Cholula hot sauce. Great stuff in any country!

Glad you enjoy my peoples food. I also love japanese food and culture!!! We are both tope tier when it comes to food!!!( mexican and japanese food i mean)

Great Video 🇲🇽

The food looked pretty good, interesting to see a mexican food chain in Japan. I definitely paused the video though when i saw the menu say "green salsa (cilantro spicy mayo)" lol

Yummm 🤤

Awesome video keep it up. I am enjoying your channel👍

Cool video 👍

Oh my god, I have to make it there some day. I love skateboarding AND mexi-food 😄

Love 🌮

I'm so happy to see a upload from you this week, and how are you doing?

The food looks half Japanese and half Mexican. It’s in Japan so not surprised lmao

Yummy I enjoyed ur videos 👍91 Happy to see u friend and want to see ur videos more & more

I am in mexicanos 🇲🇽 I love Mexican food

When it comes to Mexican food, I just can’t resist Enchilada, Chile con Carne and ice cold Sangría (or on special occasions, Corona 🍺). Anyway, I hope you’re doing well! 😁

Que LINDO! 🤗

I've only ever had Fajita's from kits you can buy in the supermarket because where i live we don't have mexican restaurants or takeaways unless i go over to Edinburgh the biggest city near where i live anyway and i would of thought they would have them but my plan is to try some Japanese food over there and see if its better than the other place i tried.

Find a Mexican woman who has been cooking for a large family , they're all masters in cooking

1:50 haha, so cute! You're not a basic at all Sarah, You're a complete package.

I agree, if nachos are in front of me… I’m eating them

To answer the title of the video, no this is not authentic Mexican food. That doesn’t mean non-authentic food can’t be tasty! This is the version of Mexican food found in the U.S., though with some twists. The founders had some Brazilian and Asian influences. The signature item of the store is the fish taco for which they took some inspiration from some cheap fish tacos they tasted in Baja California, but they grilled instead of frying the fish. Burritos can be the name of a Northern Mexican food, but that item & the American version are quite different. For non-traditional cuisine, I like fajitas. For traditional cuisine probably tacos, carnitas, or carne asada.

cool skatefood

"Why is my camera shaky?" 🤣 Also that burrito looks VERY good.

@Tokyo Foodie Sarah No Avocado or/and Sour Cream?! No Burrito is complete without those two things!😂

Amazing! Given the size of Tokyo I assume you can get almost any world cuisine accessible. I caught a glimpse of teriyaki sauce in your burrito on the menu 😀. Did it end up having that sweet soy taste? The cabbage inside sounds like it works well with the other ingredients. My favourite hot sauce from the bottles you showed is Cholula hands down. Curious, does Japan have Chipotle franchises?

What? No Taco-Yaki? (Octopus Tacos?) :P I made that up!

Sarahさん、こんなに食べる動画あげてるのに、全然変わらないですね😳 太らない体質なんですね、うらやましぃー😣メキシコ料理まだ行った事ないので ぜひ、チャレンジしてみます‼︎

Tapatío is the best overall, especially on tacos.

They look good but I always need a taco plate with rice/beans on side. Too bad they don't have horchata on the menu.

Aww no bloopers lol. We have something similar in the UK called Pringles, u may have heard of them, once you start eating them you cant stop, i've been known to finish a whole tube in one go lol, the salad you ate had more beans in it than anything else, i hope your well?

Just one clarification. You were having chips and hot sauce, not "nachos". Nachos are chips covered with stuff like beans and meat and cheese. :) Glad there is tex-mex in Japan.

un burrito con brocoli, increible :0

Never in my life have I enjoyed rice in a burrito

My mother makes the best menudo, you should try menudo sometime

Will there be a beach episode? xd Btw, those portions are pretty huge ngl. Wonder if I could finish that on my own. Although, I noticed it has a lot of vegetables. Not a huge fan of cow food, I like my food to be as meaty as it possibly can be.

you are definitely not basic.. great content

Do you ever come to the USA , I live in Las Vegas , a lot of good Restarount’s here 🙏

Wahoo is not considered a Mexican cuisine, but a substitute Mexican. But it is a good restaurant. I know this because my family is from Guerrero, Mexico

I cook Sonoran Mexican food and it is spicy

Oh great, more ASMR bliss with the munch of that corn chip! Mexican food - yep, was waiting for the tequila, but I guess it's not something you'd see in a chain restaurant normally. Suggestion for next time - middle eastern cuisine - I'm thinking a kebab place might be in order, hah... now that should wake up the Brit in ya... especially after an evening of drinking, nothing satisfies like a late night donner kebab.

Is there any sea food I love fried fish

Tapatio and Valentina are the best hot sauces. But just as a side note, burritos and enchiladas served like that are more akin to Texas / Mexican food than actual Mexican food. But still delicious!

Xinh quá 😍 . Có chú nào người Việt ở đây không ?

Love your videos about Japanese food and culture, as Mexican you should know that is not authentic Mexican food, looks like “Tex-mex food”

They look cool it’s just the meat options I think hold it back 😢🎉

If the food is good there then go to Mexico😩🇲🇽

How do you serve white rice in a mexican restaurant? Im am now offended.

Well Sarah, so you have decided to produce spicy videos? HAHAHAHAHA. Greetings !!

Burritos are delicious but they are more Texas/Mexican food than authentic Mexican. There is another place in Tokyo where they try to replicate the same authentic Mexican taste. The place is called "Casa de sarasa". The art work in the place is 100% Mexican made. I think they even have Mexican chefs. You may also get sit down and interview the owner sarasa, she speaks English, Japanese and Spanish.

Not that the gringo mex food is bad, it is tasty... but not really mexican, come to mexico to experience the real deal we would love to have you and show you the rich variety of foods we have to offer. Maybe you are Basic...ally charming!

First wahoos is not Mexican. I leave next to the original one and I must say the food is excellent but I wouldn't call it authentic Mexican food which was the video I was searching for... Thanks luck to all

I do not think you are 'basic' because there are not very many 日本人 RU-vidrs that speak fluent English. I'm in the south bay area California and we have so many Taqueria's and Mexican restaurants! Lots to choose from... BTW, we typically eat the tortilla chips with some salsa, maybe you just wanted to eat them plain....

And for the question in the title, no, it's not authentic, it's mostly inspired on tex-mex cuisine, Tex-Mex it's a Mexican-America fusion, lots of the dishes on this cuisine don't even exist in Mexico or looks so different, for example, did you know that a Mexican burrito isn't graped, are just role up. And Mexican cuisine don't use that yellow chess and the authentic Mexican salad is a bowl with cactus (It's not joke). Usually what people use to know as Mexican food is the American version, so technically it's still american food 😂

Wow Wahoo’s looks and feels straight up Southern California. Especially having the skatepark right next to it, this looks exactly like parts of California. Clearly its food is California Mexican food which takes influence from Mariscos’ (Mexican sea food) especially on the Pacific Coast. Its not quite the same as food in Mexico proper and a lot of Southern California food traces its history uniquely to old California rather than the rest of Mexico. As for the burrito sizes, those jaw breakers most Mexicans would consider an abomination. Because its all in the same. A “burro” is a donkey & a burrito means “little donkey”, they are originally just a tortilla warmed on a comal (usually flour) & filled with whatever foodstuffs you have. Meats + rice & or beans is the usual combo. It originated likely from Vaqueros - the original cowboys from Mexico and the American Southwest - cause burritos were an easily packagable food you could put in your saddle bag. Its also said the burritos being wrapped so tightly resembled the blanket rolls that would be carried on their horses and of course donkeys. Most Mexicans aren’t that picky and will still eat California Burritos (as we call those giant things) at restaurants / taco shops. But we do balk at people considering them original burritos.

Been living in Japan for more then 5 years now. I miss my Tacos de cabeza, zuadero and lengua T.T

yo!!! whats up , a real Mexican here ... nachos and burritos are from de USA is what's called TEX-MEX ... its texan dishes with Mexican influence and it really just means they use beans and pico de gallo or guacamole ... Pozole , tamales , chiles rellenos, cochinita pibil and obviously soft tacos are some more traditional Mexican dishes but still popular ... one less popular Mayan dish could be Pok chuc ... also also bottled hot sauce is considered crappy food mainly because making a fresh "salsa" is very easy , so we just use bottled sauces for snacks like potato chips or stuff like that , also tabasco isn't a big thing in Mexico but they love it in the USA. If you'd like to know Mexico in a nutshell , i highly recommend Geography now's (a youtube channel ) Mexico episode . Hope you're doing ok and in send you good wishes

Oisi, Oishi haha

I glad you’re trying my cultures food and that it’s making it’s way to Japan but it’s not authentic and even the sauces they give aren’t either. Real Mexican food is 100x better with far more flavor it’s simple but complex and sadly the majority of the world doesn’t even know what real Mexican food taste like.

U so cute!!

BASICALLY lol

5:13, adorable you

it aint authentic if it aint produced by some random guy on the side of the road using the legendary plastic chairs and tables with his wife cooking the meat lol

uwu

no your lovely subculture.

not authentic but hopefully you find one that is :)

👁️🌉👁️ : your so cute 🥰, not at all basic but sexy ....

As an Mexican i can say: That´s not Mexican food.

chain mexican food is not mexican food

Sorry to say this, but that was more like tex mex food style than real mexican food.
