¡¡Voices at the table!!

A hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant where you can enjoy authentic tacos—[Voces en la mesa]—has opened in Nijo

July 3, 2026: Open

A Mexican restaurant called [Voces en la mesa] (Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) has opened near the [Kyoto Sanjo-kai Shopping Street]. Inside, cheerful music plays amid a display of Mexican-style goods, creating a space where an exotic atmosphere and the calm of a traditional Japanese house coexist in a curious blend.

“Actually, I don’t really like onions or cilantro,” says shop owner Shirakawa with a laugh. He says that, strangely enough, even ingredients he usually dislikes tasted delicious in tacos, so he became hooked on them. If you’re someone who feels the same way, be sure to give them a try.

The Guacamole (980 yen), served with crispy tortilla chips, is a dish with a refreshing aroma of lime and cilantro. Pair it with the Mojito (880 yen), which features the refreshing coolness of mint, for an even more invigorating experience.

The taco menu features a diverse selection of eight varieties, including grilled chicken pojo and healthy avocado-vegetable tacos. Our top recommendation is carnitas (braised pork)—a classic Mexican dish that truly showcases the restaurant’s unique flair. Here, you can savor the tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture of pork that’s been slowly braised over low heat.

Tacos are 660 yen each. You can save money by buying two for 1,250 yen or three for 1,800 yen. The spicy meat pairs perfectly with the crisp, fresh vegetables, making it hard to resist reaching for just one more.

We have a variety of beers and tequilas from Mexico—including Corona—ready to go, so please enjoy pairing them with your meal.

The restaurant’s name apparently means “voices born at the dining table.” To encourage lively conversation, it offers not only counter seating but also table seating, and children are welcome. It seems like the perfect place to spend memorable moments with loved ones—whether family, friends, or a romantic partner.
