The interiors—playfully adorned with motifs of sombreros and maracas—immerse guests in a vibrant palette, transporting them to the heart of Mexico.

🌮 Authentic Mexican Flavors in Okinawa!

The star of the menu is the taco, made with house-made tortillas using corn flour, offering an authentic taste of Mexico. To complement the tropical Okinawan vibe, unique salsas infused with local fruits like mango and pineapple also make their debut.

Another highlight: the steak. In Okinawan food culture, enjoying a hearty steak is practically a tradition, and EL RINCON DE MEXICOLA embraces this with premium CAB Prime Angus beef, never frozen and carefully sourced via chilled transport. Grilled over charcoal, the result is a rich, flavorful steak that’s truly in a class of its own.

Classic favorites like guacamole and sizzling fajitas are also on the menu, creating an experience that feels like dining on a bustling street corner in Mexico.

We can’t wait to welcome you to this lively corner of Mexico in the heart of Naha!
