Very interesting small place, but the food far exceeded my expectations. The sashimi, Makis and salads are a par with some of best sushi restaurants in major cities. Anything with Tuna obviously was a stand out, specially the crispy rice with tuna tartare. I really don’t expect sushi this good from a small place in Tarifa, but will definitely be back.

Hola! We were walking and saw Arigato on Friday night but it was full and the waitress said that it would be an hour wait due to reservations so we decided to come back the next day. We went early (20 minutes after they opened) and it was already getting full. The food was good. Not the best sushi I’ve ever had but it was good just not for the price. The best thing I had in my opinion was the Tuna Brioche. Also, half the menu wasn’t available to order which highly limited the options to choose from. The service suffered because there is only one waitress and it gets very busy. Luckily if you are at the bar the chefs are willing to help out and take your order. The atmosphere is pretty cool. On Saturday they had a Disk Jockey playing house music. The lights and vibe makes me understand why people like to go here. All in all it was a cool experience and would recommend. The only thing is if I want to get great sushi it would not be my first choice.

Very good sushi for super resonable price. Totally recommended for all - locals & tourists. It goes out slow though so better book a bit of linger time for yourself.

Amazing restaurant Adrian and Maks are brilliant, really friendly and their staff are excellent too. The food is amazing. So good I went twice in 3 days, i had 4 differant sushi rolls and each was amazing, as were the mini rolls and the gyoza's were unreal. Really cool vibe. You can chill after your food and enjoy a drink and watch the guys make the sushi and have a chat. Will 100% be back when in next in Tarifa. In my opinion one if not the best restaurant in Tarifa.
