Tacos 3Hermanos Harajuku Tacos Public Hall

Very yummy !!!! We got all three varieties and they were all delicious. Tacos are pricey for anyone used to Southern California prices but they satisfy the craving in this taco desert - and they really aren’t even expensive. You can’t really beat dollar tacos in SD. As mentioned in other reviews, space is pretty tight so be prepared to eat standing up. Luckily they are street tacos and very small, so easy to do. Definitely recommending + coming back!

Super good food. Better than most authentic taco restaurants I've eaten at in the southwest. Beer and many ingredients seem to be imported, in a commitment to authenticity. This means the price is a little higher. However I think it's still well worth it, because you probably won't find food of this quality anywhere else in the city. The staff seems to be very friendly and attentive as well.

After seeing the hype on social media, I was excited to try out Tacos 3Hermanos. I’m from the Bay Area and we have a ton of great Mexican food to choose from, from San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, and everywhere in between. With all that said…let break it down. Food: My wife and I had the carnitas, aracherra, lengua, and 2 of Coke zeros. They only come in a plate of 5 per protein. Unfortunately all were lacking in flavor. Didn’t seem like any of the meat were marinated or seasoned well. The salsa was ok. Nothing special. The tortillas were just ok as well. They were all topped with cilantro and onions, but the onions weren’t onion-ing. Strange how an onion could be lacking in onion flavor. 🤷‍♂️ Food rating: 2.5/5 Service: Service was fine. There was a guy at the door letting people in a few at a time, as seating became available. Placed the order with a guy at the front counter, and waited for a couple seats at a communal table. About 10-15 minutes, our tacos were ready and a lady handed us our 3 plates. Simple. Straight forward. Service rating: 3/5 Atmosphere: Now this is where some might disagree. The owner was fun, loud, and excitable. Love that!! But goes downhill from there. The place was beyond packed, not uncommon for busy businesses in Japan, but you literally can’t turn without hitting someone. There was absolutely NO ventilation. May have been ok if they left the front door open to let some of the smoke out, but they decided to hot box everyone and let people marinate in the smoke and grease. The taco meat smell will stay on your clothes until you wash it, or douse it with Frebreze…which was what my wife and I ended up doing. We literally stopped by a drug store, bought a bottle of Frebreze, and emptied over half on our clothes. Still smell a bit the next day. As for the decor, it was simple. Nothing to really talk about. Just a couple of communal tables, neon coke sign, a locker with their merch, and brand banner on top of the ordering counter/food prep area. Atmosphere rating: 1/5 Summary: If you’ve had great Mexican food, this place isn’t for you. Don’t believe the people on social media pumping this spot. You’ll leave wondering why you stood in line for 30 minutes to an hour, why you spent a ridiculous amount of money for below mid street tacos, and why you smell like taco meat. Forgot to mention the cost: Carnitas: 5 for 2000yen Aracherra: 5 for 3000yen Lengua: 5 for 3000yen Coke Zero: 440 yen each (I think) Total bill: 8880yen. About $56.42 at time of this review. Mind you, 15 of these tiny tacos with juuuust enough meat to barely cover the tiny tortillas, is not a lot of food. At the end of the day, there are plenty of great food options in Japan. But if tacos are what you’re craving, unfortunately Tacos 3Hermanos will not scratch that itch.

Update: terrible stomachache and bad case of a the runs a few hours after the tacos. Only suadero was available today and in regards to the actual suadero, it was definitely legit. The tacos themselves definitely invoke street tacos with the appropriate greasiness, which is something not really found in Japan. But as other reviewers have stated, the actual size was a good 4-6cm smaller than what you’ll find in Mexico City. These were ‘one bite’ size when ‘two bites’ is what it should be. There were also a lot of inconsistencies in regard to portion. Looking around the room, some tacos had meat piled on and some had barely any on it. There is definitely a profit motive here, but with all that said, these are also some of the best tacos you’ll find in Japan. Since you can find tacos with better quality imported masa for the same price, gotta take away a star also for the poor ventilation.

Amazing food. Shop is quite small so be prepared to eat standing up or eat outside for some fresh air. They had two options of carnitas or suadero tacos 5 for 2000yen. Mexican beers or glass bottled coke (iykyk) available. People are always complaining about the price but need to understand it’s very expensive to import the authentic stuff. There’s nothing like this in Japan so you get what you pay for. The vibes were immaculate, super fast service. They sell out very quickly we were one of the lucky last so recommend to come early if you want to secure your delicious taco fix.

Legit Mexican street tacos. We originally showed up at 2pm for lunch (they are officially supposed to close form 4 to 5 and reopen for dinner but they ran out of food), so we came back for dinner at 4:40pm, and there was already a line almost 20 people deep. Tacos are very good and the owner is just as quirky and friendly as he is on Instagram. Not the place you can hangout, while no one rushed us, they will expect you to eat and get out, and be quiet will waiting outside, it’s a narrow residential street and the neighbors hate the lines that form because of this place - but worth a try if you love tacos - probably the most authentic street tacos in Japan.

The tacos here are solid, served in classic taqueria style. Each plate comes with five small tacos, and you’ll need to order a plate per person. The pricing feels reasonable for American standards, though it may seem higher to those accustomed to prices in Mexico. One downside is that the restaurant is cashless, which can be a bit inconvenient. The Japanese owner is friendly and welcoming, adding a unique touch to the experience. The space itself is very small, accommodating only about 16-18 diners at a time. This limited seating creates a situation where those waiting in line—often wrapped around the restaurant—may end up watching you enjoy your tacos. While this adds some pressure, it’s a testament to the popularity of the place.

Delicious, Authentic tacos, at a cost. 2000 yen for the carnitas tacos. Honestly some of the best tacos we have had. Even more expensive than in America though, but I guess it was worth it. The staff was friendly, however they don't say anything when you leave, which is very uncommon here. Overall, definitely worth the try! It also seems like the locals (the neighbors) don't like this place, there are signs everywhere saying to be quiet and that this is a residential neighborhood.
