About

Tacos Goku, formerly known as Taqueria Goku, refers to a taqueria in Oaxaca, Mexico that has a Dragon Ball theme and is named after the character Goku. The restaurant is well-known for its wall art depicting Goku slicing al pastor. Tacos Goku is a part of many restaurants with anime themes across Latin America. Photos of Tacos Goku originally went viral on Reddit in 2012. In the years following, memes and posts surfaced about the taqueria that relayed the stereotype that Mexico loves Dragon Ball, among other Latin American and South American countries.

It is currently unknown what year Tacos Goku was founded. However, the earliest known post about the restaurant was a photo shared by Redditor[3] PuroMichoacan on September 2nd, 2012, to /r/mexico, showing an Imgur photo of a taqueria in Oaxaca, Mexico called Taqueria Goku (shown below).
