Why should you have to choose between sushi and tacos when you could just have both? You no longer have to make multiple stops to satisfy those cravings.

Sake vs Tekila is a fusion restaurant that blends Asian and Hispanic culture together through food.

If you’re anything like me, then you understand the struggles of being an indecisive person, especially when it comes to what I want to eat. To make matters worse when I finally decide on what my taste buds would prefer, I end up wanting what I didn’t choose. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out it doesn’t have to be hard, I can go to one place and have both. Before the food and drinks even hit the table there was something distinctive about the restaurant itself.

Sake vs Tekila immerses you completely in native Japanese and Spanish culture. 

On one half of the restaurant, you see artwork of Cherry Blossom trees and Geisha and Maiko women in their traditional makeup and garments. On the other side of the restaurant, you see Native warriors in their traditional headpieces. It’s almost as if you’ve transcended through time and traveled across the seas to experience a space that embodies both cultures in their native traditions.

Now let’s get into these fusion dishes. 

You mean to tell me I can order hibachi, sushi, and tacos on ONE plate? Sign me up. Their menu is filled to the rim with different options from appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks with options from either… but why try one over the other, when you could just get both? They make it easy to try as much food as possible, but with a menu that extensive, it’s impossible to try it all out at once. 

So, if you’re an indecisive person like me or if you’re just a foodie who loves to try out new spots, Sake vs Tekila is definitely a spot you should try out.

About the Author

Hi, Hii. I’m Carmen Monèt and I am a free-lance journalist from Memphis, TN. I’ve always had a love for storytelling and actually I used to say that I was providing a voice for the “voiceless;” but as I’ve grown as a writer I’m learning that we’ve always had a voice, we just didn’t have the platform to express ourselves.

So I listen a lot, but I also get to connect with people so much. My daughter Cabella is the best part of my entire life, and she has pushed me to actually follow my dreams of becoming a real writer. I hope that people are able to really feel the passion and vulnerability that I infuse in my writing, and be teleported into the story.

Build your perfect Memphis meal:

If I could build my version of the “perfect” meal in Memphis, we’d have to take a drive around the city and make a few stops. I’m a certified taco lover, and currently TacosNGanas has been my go-to for some good shrimp tacos. Once we leave there, let's slide over to Slider Inn, and order the “Mix & Match,” granted we’re doing more matching than mixing, because I only ever order their fried Buffalo Chicken sliders with no pickles, ofcourse. Now our next stop has some of the best food I’ve ever tasted, but what stood out the most to me was their creamy mac & cheese, I’m a southern girl and I love me some mac & cheese. Last but not least, we’ve got to walk just a couple of doors down to Babalu for some fresh guacamole. I can  assure you that there is absolutely nothing cohesive about this picnic, but none of the flavors will disappoint you. 


Why do you love Memphis:

Memphis is just such a cultural powerhouse. This city that I love has given me so many beautiful memories. Each day I get to experience it from a different view, but in that, I still get to experience the underlying feeling of community. The people here are some of the best people in the world. There are local artists whose eyes will light up when they see you supporting them and singing along with them. There are locally-owned and operated restaurants that care about you actually being satisfied with your meal and their service. One of the things I love and think about the most is how Memphis has been able to “bounce-back” to life and actually living, after so many doors were closed forever due to COVID; but, I can’t say that I’m surprised, our perseverance is unwaivering.
