    初めて伺いました。昔からあるのは知っていましたが、中々行く機会がなかったのですが、改装なったと聞き訪問。ディナーで利用しました。お店は高層階で、スカイツリーが綺麗に見える席なご案内頂きました。お料理も薄味で、どれも美味しかったですね。流石に老舗のおもてなしが心に残りました。

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Dougenzaka 2-25-14
    The Dogenzaka location of this popular Mexican fast food restaurant born in California. The main item on the menu is tacos, and you can choose what type of shell, meat, and spiciness level you'd like. Taco Bell has 6,000 locations worldwide, and when it came to Japan in 2015 enthusiastic fans waited in long lines to get in. In addition to the standard two tacos supreme, the tasty cinnamon twist dessert is also a popular menu choice. The shrimp and avocado burrito, flavored with wasabi mayonnaise, is a Japan-only choice which is a little different from anything found at any other Taco Bell outside the country.

    So much cleaner and friendlier than the Taco Bells back home. My Crunch Wrap Supreme was a little light on meat, but very good otherwise. Free refills on soda (unusual in Japan). English menu.
