It is about 1 hour and 11 minutes by car from Naha Airport. Located in Nago City in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island, this restaurant serves delicious tacos and fried food. The “Japanese tacos” with rice inside and exquisite spices, as well as the hearty fried chicken, are very popular! This is a restaurant you will want to repeat.
Point 1: Nago is a gourmet battleground! Where is Kazutacos located?
Kazutacos” is a taco store that is known for its rice-filled taco tacos and garlic-flavored fried chicken.
The “Kazu Taco” sign that looks like it was hand-painted is humorous!
From Naha Airport, it takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes via Okinawa Expressway. By bus, take the “YKB888 Yanbaru Express Bus bound for Resort Hotel Bel Paraiso” and get off at “Nago City Hall Mae” to reach the restaurant in 7 minutes on foot. The fare is 1600 yen.
Although it is far from the northern part of Japan, it is nice to be able to arrive there in about 2 hours without changing buses.
Note that you can also take the Ryukyu Bus No. 117, a local bus, to get there in one trip, but the fare is more than 1,000 yen higher.
The restaurant is small, with only two tables. Since many people come by car, they seem to eat in the parking lot of a nearby family store or use the restroom.
Point 2: Introduction of “Kazutacos” tacos and taco rice!
Kazutacos offers two types of tacos: the famous “Japanese Taco” with rice and a regular taco.
The “Kazu Taco” makes you wonder why it was never available before. The exquisite collaboration of rice and spicy meat is irresistible.
It’s a hybrid of tastes! The tacos are also full of vegetables, and the sauce is very tasty. The tacos are loaded with vegetables, and there is a choice of hot or sweet sauce. The hot sauce is not too spicy, but rather refreshingly hot and has an addictive taste.
Taco Rice” also uses the same sauce and meat, but the feeling of eating it is different from that of a taco in a crispy crust.
The taco rice, with rice and taco meat topped with a generous amount of cheese, is so large that even a half portion is enough to fill even a man up. The takeout package is held together with a single rubber band, but it is heavy, so be careful not to drop it.
The price is 500 yen for taco rice, Japanese tacos, or tacos (both 3-packs), which is easy on the wallet!
Point 3: “Kazutacos” and other menu items!
Kazutacos offers a variety of menu items in addition to tacos, Japanese tacos, and taco rice.
One of them is the “Garlic Chicken Karaage.
Marinated in plenty of garlic and deep-fried, the fried chicken is large, juicy, and addictive. Even though it is only fried chicken, there are good parts and bad parts.
The garlic, the juiciness, and the frying quality are all perfect! Some people even cite this restaurant as the best-fried chicken they have ever had in their lives. Some even say it is the best-fried chicken in their lifetime, and some even say it surpasses “King Taco,” the king of Okinawan tacos!
Since grilled whole chicken and garlic chicken are very popular in Okinawa, it is nice to see that they are competing with each other in a friendly competition to create something even tastier.
Wa Taco, located at the base of the Motobu Peninsula in Nago City, serves delicious tacos with rice, taco rice, and fried chicken with garlic. Please come and visit us.
