I went to lunch on weekdays this day, so I ordered tacos 4 pieces and cheese taco rice. There are some taco rice with vegetables as well, but I ordered it to cheese taco rice because the ingredients of tacos fall as it eat.

I ate tacos first by applying King’s taco’s original spicy sauce. A crisp tacos skin, a spicy sauce, and a volumeful ground beef, after all it is delicious! But when I eat it, the ingredients fall down. I would like someone to tell me how to eat tacos well.

I also put a taco sauce on taco rice. Volume plenty! As expected it was a taco 4 piece and taco rice, so it’s not enough to eat alone, so I ate it home.

Tacos and taco rice are famous King tacos, but hamburgers are also oversized and delicious with American taste. I took a hamburger with a takeout and got lunch for the next day.

In this picture it may be a bit confusing, but King Tacos’s hamburger also has a pretty volume. About 12 cm in diameter and about 9 cm in height, I feel a sense of weight and strain when I have it. There is just the size of the small baby’s head. It is about volume that one woman can not eat. I was full of stomach.

The area around King Tacos is the “Shinkaichi (new open ground)”, the area which was crowded with US soldiers in the old Vietnam War. There are also many signs in English, even now the atmosphere of the US military rule still remains. You can enjoy the feeling as if you visited a foreign country by arranging English signs, concrete buildings, walls with flashy illustrations like wall art. Especially on weekend nights, Americans are drinking, so you can feel the atmosphere of a foreign country.
