About this place
Tucked into a side alley off Kita-Senju's historic Shukubamachi-dori, Higetacos is a relaxed izakaya-style Mexican eatery focused on handmade tacos and casual Latin tapas. The space carries a lively, unpretentious energy, equipped with counter and table seating indoors along with outdoor terrace spots that catch the breeze when the weather is fine.
The taco lineup covers classics such as spiced beef, chicken, and prawn with avocado, served on your choice of soft or hard tortillas. Meaty options highlight savory, seasoned fillings, while seafood choices stay light and fresh. Diners can tailor each bite with additions such as extra cheese, jalapeños, or guacamole, and adjust the heat using the sauces set out on each table.
For drinks snacks, the kitchen sends out "Hige Nachos" draped in rich melted cheese, as well as an octopus and prawn ceviche dressed with salt and bright citrus. Heartier appetites can turn to charred chili spare ribs, tandoori-spiced chicken, or a satisfying bowl of Mexican taco rice.
The bar is well stocked with Latin American bottled beers, including Corona, Tecate, and Negra Modelo, alongside selections from around the world. Margaritas, tequonics, white-wine operators, and several whiskeys round out the shelf, giving guests plenty of ways to settle in over a drink.
Whether you stop by for a quick lunchtime taco set or gather friends over drinks and shared plates at night, it serves as a comfortable, easygoing Mexican diner in the Senju area.
