An Okinawan specialty. Imagine taco bell, but better, and instead of taco shells, it’s served over white rice (good white rice by the way, Japan doesn’t fuck around with shitty rice).
I’ll agree that it’s better than taco bell, but that’s a really, really low bar. I’ve never found taco rice to be that good (within Okinawa or otherwise); it’s not terrible or anything, but often very bland.
I guess that depends where you get it from. I’ve had bland taco rice too, but find the right hole-in-the-wall stand (literally, like the places where it’s just a window in the side of the building and you walk up and order without going inside), and it can be really good.
Ultimately it’s just rice, lettuce, taco meat, sauce, and cheese. So if those ingredients are quality, it’s gonna be quality; and if not, not. The biggest difference often boils down to the sauce, but of course some lettuce/cheese/etc. is better than others…
