Eviltex Hamburgers & Tex-Mex

A burger joint that also serves Tex-Mex food a few blocks from the Hida Takayama station. The place can serve three groups and one individual, any more and they will have your order served late. You could customize your orders just like a diner, and there are a plethora of condiments at your disposal. I personally like the Cholula hot sauce. The burger was of pretty good quality but I did not enjoy the bread as it was too toasted for my liking. Everything just slid out on the first bite. The service though, immaculate especially for foreigners. They ask your country of origin and they thank you in that language when you bill out.

We dined here both nights of our stay in Takayama. The tacos, burrito and burgers were packed with flavour, super fresh, and were just delicious. Every bite felt comforting but exciting at the same time. You can tell they really care about what they’re serving. One of those restaurants you leave already planning your next visit.

Eviltex is an eclectic little restaurant tucked away in the ancient town of Takayama, Japan. The menu is as unique and interesting as the restaurant itself! They offer a variety of burgers as well as TexMex dishes that is a welcome change of pace from Japanese cuisine! I ordered the chicken enchiladas and nachos with cheese. Both dishes were delicious, but the cheese on the nachos tasted like vegan cheese and the enchiladas were not your classic enchiladas drenched in delicious sauce and cheese. It was more like a chicken burrito with a side of enchiladas sauce and cheese! It was a delicious plate of food, but I get the feeling that the burgers are the true stars of the show!

Took a sip of my frozen margarita as Howlin’ Wolf growled in the background, the kind of blues that makes everything taste a little better. Just as I was thinking it couldn’t get much better, one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had arrived at my table. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and stacked just right. A simple moment of joy; good music, a cold drink, and unforgettable food. Thanks!

The 5 stars are (fake) for visibility reasons. Do make sure to check the "Lowest" section of the reviews before you come and decide for yourself. We had a similar experience with the group larger than 5 issue as everyone else, and same refusal for split tables for some reason we do not understand. Not sure what difference it makes whether we are a group of 6 or 2 groups of 3. Nonetheless, there's a sign outside and it's very clear. What's not very clear, though, is the clear difference in attitude towards our group and other (seemingly more white) groups. We all ordered and paid all the same, but somehow our group earned an extremely rude attitude from the waitress whom I'm assuming to also be the owner. I'm not quite aware of what we've done to deserve this treatment when we're getting a service that is normally being offered to everyone. I'm also not quite sure if her preferences are with regarding race, color, religion, (?) Because we were a pretty diverse group. So yeah, the food was nice. But no nice food in this world is worth being treated like that. And here's a pic of my veggie burrito :)

American style diner with interesting aesthetics. Was skeptical to try vegan/veggie burgers. But turns out they're Amazing! We also tried the enchiladas and quesadillas too. Staff was really sweet! The owner also was able to speak a little bit of Hindi, she told us फिर मिलेंगे (we shall meet again). we didn't plan to visit again as we were leaving takayama the next day. But, to no surprise of ours, we found ourselves back at the restaurant again just before leaving. Never liked a Vegetarian burger more! Its a must try.

Cozy restaurant with humble owners. Very tasty “American” style food, made in their own way. Fair price at around ¥1.900 - ¥2.300.

To preface, I’ve been in Japan for almost a month for school and have not had American food for a while. I got the lunch set burger and it was a solid juicy burger with nicely salted fries. In America, it would have been a good burger, but in Japan it’s a great burger. The buns were the best part and I’m so glad to finally get real American food here.
