Brand Positioning

Clearly positioning TokyoTaco as a restaurant offering both Mexican and Japanese cuisines was crucial to their value proposition and connection with their market. The concept of TokyoTaco is about two different tastes working together in harmony to excite and delight. Tokyo Tastes meets Tacqueria works to technically describe what they do, and the brand promise culinary connection is what they promise every customer.

Corporate Logo

Inspired by the Japanese writing system Hiragana, we designed this brand identity to be simple, flowing and bring Mexican and Japanese culture together seamlessly.⁠
