Insider tip

The corn tortillas are gluten-free and the al pastor is the one to order. It's small and popular, so go early or be ready to wait.

What the guides say about Mil Tacos

Daniel's neighbourhood. The Sasazuka guide and the Hatagaya guide cover the west-side streets Daniel knows well, which rarely make the guidebooks, ending at Mil Tacos in Sasazuka, where the wedding dinner happened.

Around Sasazuka

Daniel's stop on the Keio Line

Sasazuka is Daniel's Tokyo neighbourhood, one stop from Shinjuku on the Keio Line and nowhere near the tourist map. It's an ordinary, brilliant slice of residential Tokyo. There's a station mall, a shotengai, standing sushi you'll queue for, and Mil Tacos, the tiny taco joint where he held his wedding dinner. No neighbourhood on this site carries more weight.

Sasazuka has 5 places on the Roam Tokyo map: 2 restaurants, 1 bar, 1 landmark and 1 bathhouse. Read the Sasazuka guide.
