11 Westside

Got a variety of tacos and enchiladas. The fish tacos were definitely my favorite and worth coming back for. Overall, the flavors were authentic, but I wish there was more heat/spice! Went for dinner and the lighting was so dark I could barely see. Next time I would go at lunch for a better experience

One of the worst dining experience ever. It was as if we were attending a marketing shoot rather then having dinner. Had camera lights flashing throughout the entire 2 hours cameras just stuck right at our faces out of no where. Had reservation at 6, arrived at 6:15 and told them we could have the food whenever everyone else is (they wanted to wait for more guests to arrive). Waited for 2 hours for the entire course to be served (3min for two dishes, then another 30min in between for the next, and then dessert) and right after the dessert was put down , the waiter said he’ll come back with new plates and cutlery (which he never did) we got rushed by another person, after another 15min we decided to leave. Food was horrible, they attempted to do fusion which just wasted the ingredients. Out of 7/8 dishes only 1 tasted great. Had tacos soaked in oil, pork belly so hard the other table and my friend gave up on chewing. Other tables were horrified by the food and service as well. We as customers, had to keep track of what has been served from the course, what has not been. Table beside us attempted to chase for a dish, the waiters brought another dish they had already. Waiters lost track of dishes to the point that a dish would be circulating tables. Service charge should have been split among guests.

Came here for taco Tuesday (1/2 price tacos on Tuesday) and was pleasantly surprised with the food quality. The tacos where decently sized very fresh. The signature lamb taco was fantastic and worth the higer price. I was sat at the bar and the space was a little cosy, so it's worth to reserve a table prior. Unfortunately the staff where not so attentive and it took a while to place an order and clear the previous plates.

First time trying a chef’s special menu, it was really crowded so we had to wait for a while to be seated even though we had our reservation. A bit understaffed but the food was great. The churros were best, nicely deep fried and chewy on the inside. There was also a party room with dj, mini bar and snooker table, fun dining experience after all!!

I must say, this experience ranks among the worst hospitality encounters I've ever had. My group of four arrived for a birthday celebration on Taco Tuesday, with a confirmed reservation, yet it felt as though we were an inconvenience from the moment we stepped in. While I understand that restaurants have table-turn policies, the eagerness to rush us out overshadowed any semblance of hospitality. We found ourselves flagging down a server three times, only to receive a curt response that someone would attend to us shortly. It was disheartening. We had neatly stacked our plates in anticipation of them being cleared, yet they remained untouched, for the duration of all our courses. We had new plates come in, and made room for them ourselves. I ordered a pitcher of what was supposed to be a Tommy’s Margarita, but it turned out to be a standard margarita—hardly what I expected. When it came time for dessert, I requested a candle to be placed on it, and when it was finally brought out- one of the party members wasn’t even seated at the table. To add insult to injury, at that point we were verbally asked if “We knew we only had an hour and a half of dining time.” This entire experience left me stressed and continually checking the clock. My friends and I couldn’t even finish our meals in peace. On a positive note, the food was good—though not authentic by any standard—it was truly the only saving grace of the evening. If the service matched the quality of the food, this could be a much more enjoyable place to dine.

We recently had a great time at 11Westside. The menu was really good, offering a nice variety of dishes without overwhelming choices. What stood out to me were the interesting combinations of tacos—they were so tasty and unique! Not only was the food great, but the cocktails were also a highlight. They had a nice selection of drinks that perfectly complemented the flavors of the dishes. It was a treat for the taste buds! The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The presentation of the dishes was impressive, and everything looked appetizing. Overall, I highly recommend 11Westside Mexican Restaurant for a fantastic dining experience. The menu is appealing, the taco combinations are interesting, and the cocktails are delightful. It's a place where you can enjoy delicious food and have a great time. Give it a try—I'm sure you'll love it too!

Excellent steak and tacos. Went with the whole team for team building event. Highlight of the day.

Helmed by Chef Esdras Ochoa, a Mexican native who gained recognition on Netflix's cooking show "The Final Table", 11 Westside aims to transport diners to Mexico in a spacious industrial-meets-elegant setting. In addition to vibrant, diverse dishes showcasing the richness of traditional flavors with modern flair, diners can enjoy 50% off tacos every "Taco Tuesday". - 𝚃𝚊𝚌𝚘 - 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝, $138/2pc (8/10) 𝘛𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘰𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘵 𝘫𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙖𝙙𝙤, $50/1pc (7/10) 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯, 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘭𝘤𝘢𝘫𝘦𝘵𝘦, 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘰, 𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰 & 𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘾𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙖 𝙑𝙚𝙜𝙜𝙞𝙚, $50/1pc (6.5/10) 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘢 𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘢, 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘫𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘰 𝘽𝙖𝙟𝙖 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝, $60/1pc (7.5/10) 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘦, 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘰 𝘥𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰, 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘪, 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘢 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙤 𝙎𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙥, $60/1pc (7/10) 𝘉𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘱, 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘰, 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘪, 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘢 The 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 was a standout – it delighted with its tempura-battered oyster presenting the best of textures - a thin ultracrisp coating that highlighted the plump oyster sealed within.

While the octopus itself was perfect, the accompaniment of brussels sprouts, arugula and cherry tomatoes tended a bit too heavily towards greasy, detracted from rather than balanced the dish. Less heavily prepared veggies could have better complemented the stellar octopus. Date: Feb 2024 weekday dinner

I came here on a taco tuesday and excitedly ate all the tacos that I could. My absolute favourites were the California Veggie and Carne Asada. Normally I am hesitant with vegetarian tacos; but I guarantee you; this California Veggie taco was the BOMB. You can't go wrong with the Baja Fish or the Mango Shrimp either. My least favourite however; was the Carnitas taco; which featured a classic pork shoulder meat; but was just okay. Usually I like my pork crispy when its in a taco. This, however, tasted like a pulled pork taco. All in all; this place is definitely worth a try! Taco Tuesday special allows for half price tacos; (regular price is about 48-58HKD). I'm not sure if I would pay full price for these tacos; but taco tuesday is definitely worth it!

I came here for brunch on a Saturday and had the restaurant week lunch set. I wanted to come here when it first opened but at that time it was too busy to get a seat. Things have changed dramatically as the restaurant is pretty empty during lunch hours. I hope this doesn't continue as I really enjoyed the food here and good Mexican food is hard to find in Hong Kong. My rating is based on: Food: 4.5 stars Atmosphere Service: 4 stars Value: 4 stars Recommendations: churros, carne asada tacos, fish tacos, Brussels sprouts The food here is very good. This is the by far the best Mexican food I have had in Hong Kong. I haven't eaten at Chino yet so I can't say definitively it's the best. I had the Brussels sprouts, kale salad, taco plate, churros and pancakes. 1The Brussels sprouts were really good. They are crispy and soft at the center. It is topped with a poached egg and carnitas. The savory sweet marinade was a nice touch and we devoured the whole plate. 2The kale salad is topped with a poached egg and the dish contains thinly sliced apple which provides a nice bit of sweetness and crunch to the salad. The sweet potato was a bit out of place but didn't take away too much from the dish. I would order this again although not as good as the Brussels sprouts. 3The taco plate is really why I wanted to come here. Tacos are a simple dish but hard to execute well and I was hoping that this would fulfill my taco cravings. The tacos here are really good. I tried the carne asada, fish, al pastor, carnitas, and shrimp. The tacos I found the best were the carne asada, and the Baja fish taco. The carnitas and al pastor were also good. The shrimp I wouldn't recommend d. The meat to tortilla ratio is quite high. I would guess about 1.5 times the norm and these will fill you up. 4The desserts we ordered were the churros and the pancakes. Both of these are really sharing size portions. The churros were amazing. They were crispy, moist on the inside. I will definitely order these the next time I come. I really didn't have room for the pancakes and these don't really make too much sense as a dessert. They were pretty good, but I was too full to enjoy these. Overall, I had a really enjoyed the food and had a good experience. Definitely will come back when I want some Mexican food.

The Mexican food situation in HK is pretty bleak. The tacos are usually overpriced-taqueria style tacos are almost double what you'd expect even with the mark up for imported ingredients and everything. Even the more 'affordable' spots *Cali-Mex* aren't very good; bland, dull and flavorless where it doesn't matter what you get because it's all equally bland. 11 Westside actually does a good job of keeping the quality and honestly price wise it's not too bad. I've never had their large plates, or brunch or dinner. I go on Tuesday nights for Taco Tuesdays where it's two hours of 'free flow' tacos. I would usually suggest that with AYCE deals of any kind to go with the proteins, especially the seafood. HOWEVER, the veggie taco? Frigging out of my mind good. I am a dyed in the wool, no apologies meat eater but holy crap is it delicious, so much so that it usually makes the 2nd and even 3rd round of orders. I'm also combining the review for Wilshire, which is a terrific bar and I can always count on a well made drink. I don't even have to name it, I can just say I what type of booze I want and what I'm feeling and like magic a beautiful cocktail!

A little hard to find as its up the stairs on an alley. When we got there at 845 the wait was 1.5-2hrs but the last order was 10pm..... However they had an outdoor seating area where you could buy drinks and food from the takeaway menu. The menu was 4 types of tacos and chips with salsa. We weren't going to wait for a table for 2 hours, so we just ordered tacos to eat outdoors. Tacos were 50 hkd or 60 hkd each! They were meaty but only 2-3 bites each. Overall I would say the flavor of the tacos were quite good, and some of the best in hk, but really just not worth that price, especially since ours were a bit lukewarm. I ordered 3 tacos and was still not full, ended up going to mcds after They had a good selection of drinks, with premium beers and spirits. I had a local moonzen IPA beer. Didn't get to try the mains, so can't comment on those. But the tacos were good, if you can afford it..

11 Westside is likely experiencing a newfound and well-deserved bout of fame after Los Angels Taco King Esras Ocho appeared on the Netflix food extravaganza "The Final Table." The restaurant itself, although impossible to spot from street-level, is tucked into a wide 2nd-floor space, combining a well-curated classiness (hello, glossy chandeliers and a positively luminous bar) with industrial urban chic (oh hey there, enormous empty picture frames and fluorescent pink spray-paint graffiti). The menu is divided neatly into 4 parts: 1) Starters (e.g. salads, ceviche, etc.); 2) Tacos; 3) Savory; 4) Dessert. And, of course, a little booklet of drinks. The tacos are completely faultless - after sampling the Carne Asada, the Al Pastor, the Baja Fish - can definitely declare that each is the perfect balance of meaty, freshness, acidity, and sweet - and all are served on the perfect vehicle - a fresh tortilla. But The tableside guacamole is really the star of 11 Westside - stone bowl, mortar and pestle appear next to the table - with lemon, cilantro, pepper, salt, red onion, and fresh avocados are smashed right in front of the diner - and asked to taste at the end, for the adjustment of any flavors. Served with a fresh hot bowl of tortilla chips, this guacamole is quite possible the best in the city. Cocktails - bright and fresh. Thank you, Esras and 11 Westside, for introducing the abundance of Mexican food in a city that sorely needs it.

I REALLY wanted to have a great experience and enjoy this restaurant based on the Chef Ochoa from the Final Table on Netflix. But this is disappointing as I sit at the bar typing this. PRO: I like the overall ambience concept. Well. I got nothing else. CONS: The toilet is broken and the restrooms look like an unkept backyard shed. No WI-FI - that is just crazy as McDonald's has WI-FI ......I should have just gone there.... I tried the famous Guacamole and chips...... it tasted like paint paste ....I gave it back and asked for salsa, well the salsa is just to spicy hot. I ordered the Fish Baha taco.....it came out in 3 min, I was shocked. The taco was piled onto a tiny pasty, cardboard tasting size where there is no way to eat it like a taco. I removed have of the ingredients which then I had to ask for a 2nd plate. I tried but the fish had turned completely mushy instead of fresh and crispy. So I had to say forget it. I can't eat the rest. For drinks, they seem only carry a few known brands and many unknown brands. I tried a few different vodkas and could not find the vodka taste I prefer which Ketel One. BOTTOM LINE: The service is lacking as I have to wave someone down if I need anything. The food is either pasty cardboard or too spicy.....the combination is spicy cardboard......it just doesn't work. I will not return.

It is located in a hidden alley. You will need to climb some stairs to get to the restaurant. Vibe and environment is neat and the service is good. However, if you are coming for the mexican food, then you will be disappointed. Dishes are not authentic and the portion is small. It is a nice place to hang with your friends though.

After living in LA and consuming tacos on a near-weekly basis for 7 years, I don't even wanna taco 'bout the quality and selection in Hong Kong. So of course I was ecstatic when my LA friends shared that the LA "Taco King" Chef Ochoa will open an authentic al pastor joint in HK. Although I never got a chance to try out Mexicali Taco when I lived in LA (I'm a die-hard el taurino and el flamin' fan), I had faith in Chef Ochoa. I prayed and I prayed that it would not be overpriced and unnecessarily fancy. We already have Chino that satisfies that category of fusion Mexican. I just wanted an authentic down-to-earth taco joint! Alas, thanks to the expensive rent in Hong Kong, it's just not profitable to open an low-priced restaurant anymore. After hearing less than stellar reviews, I bided my time and finally made a trip to try this place last night. The star dishes were the three tacos: AL PASTOR $38, CARNE ASADA $48, POLLO ASADA $38 The prices weren't as unreasonable as I've been told. But it IS overpriced. Back in LA, tacos were $15 after tax each, and Chef Ochoa's tacos sold for $25 per from Mexicali. Adding the fancy bougie décor and imported/quality ingredients, it's actually somewhat justified (they do have to pay rent after all!). Also compared to tacos in Hong Kong, Chino costs $48-$58 per taco and Cali-mex serves awful tacos for like $90 for 3, taco prices here is actually comparable. On to the tacos, my first issue with the tacos was that it came luke warm. The tortilla was quite thin and miles better than Brickhouse and Cali-mex . But it was not your typical fresh handmade corn tortilla. (Holla Guisados!) At the very least, heat up the tortilla before serving it! That's really like the basic which almost no Hong Kong restaurants get right! On the bright side, there were plenty of meat in all the tacos (but not overflowing), they were all topped with red onion (I've only seen white used in tacos though, but not a big deal), a small dollop of guac (it's ok, al pastor doesn't usually come with guac anyway and would have costed an extra $8) but where's my cilantro, there were probably one leaf sliced finely in it. Like Chino's, the AL PASTOR was also topped with a pineapple (I removed it anyway). At first bite, it tasted sweet. What is this? Peking duck flavoured al pastor? I immediately asked for some ghost pepper salsa and doused it with it. It was medium spicy, probably made with only a single drop of ghost pepper. I'll try the other type of salsa next time. I dream of being reunited with el taurino's bright orange spicy salsa every night, and once again my dreams were shattered. The POLLO ASADA taco was slightly on the bland side, but I already doused it with the ghost pepper salsa, on the plus side, the chicken wasn't dry. The CARNE ASADA possessed a stronger-than-usual beef flavour (in a good way) and was also more fatty than your typical carne asada. Again, I doused it with the salsa. Ceviches are one of my all time favourite food so of course we ordered the CEVICHE PACIFIC $98. I was pleasantly surprised at the price (ceviches costs about $120-150 in LA). However when it arrived, I saw how tiny the dish was and that it only came with ONE chip. The taste was on point though, it was tangy and packed a punch. However the red snapper was cooked, and where were the shrimp? Not sure why Chef Ochoa decided with a cooked dish, because Hong Kong people love their fish raw. Maybe to save on cost?! The ECHO PARK SWEET CORN $58 were 8 baby corns. I normally don't like baby corn but this one was tangy and well balanced. It came with a dollop of house mayonessa which paired very well. I do wish they used normal corn though. For that reason alone, I would not get it again. The CHIPS & SALSA $50 was somewhat satisfactory. I make a way better salsa. The tomato was grinded up and it could use more lime, salt and cilantro. However it did fill me up. I read about how overpriced and bland the GUACAMOLE $150 was (plus, I make a mean guacamole myself) so I skipped that. Overall only the tacos are worth getting. The mains seemed expensive and I didn't read anything positive about them. Generally, 4-5 tacos should fill you up. I'm giving this place a 4 star because it does serve the best tacos in Hong Kong (beggars can't be choosers!). However if this were in LA, it would only get 3 stars for the tacos and 2 for the sides. *** Tip: Just get tacos, ask for extra salsa to boost flavours. BYOB!!! Favourites: Good tacos, nice decor, BYOB Meh: Slightly overpriced (but then again, what new place isn't?). Cold tortilla, sweet al pastor, cooked ceviche, baby corn, overpriced guac, not a big fan of their Salsa Molcajete (only one type of salsa in their dishes). Last Words: I hope they focus less on fusion and more on authenticity. This place is kind of like the Ho Lee Fook of Chinese food (somewhat keeping to its roots while being somewhat fusion). This place is promising though.

Learned about this place from watching the show The Final Table on Netflix, and was very intrigued by Chef Esdras Ochoa. Overall I just wanted to try this place having not read into it at all. The entrance is at the back of a building but there's a sign on the sidewalk so it's hardly difficult to find. You walk up the stairs and pass by the kitchen which you can peak at through the windows. Always appreciate when you can see what goes on behind the scenes. The decor is beautiful, tall ceilings and the bar backdrop has painted religious murals which creates the setting of being in the Mexican areas of LA. There's also plenty of space between tables so you don't feel crammed in at all. The cocktails are delicious but I have to say, the food was not good enough for the price and setting. I have to be super honest - the food was not good, and it was definitely not great for the prices they're charging. We were HIGHLY disappointed. The chef needs to come back and train someone to MANAGE QUALITY in the kitchen. So we ordered the guac and salsa to start. There was a waiter who presented the ingredients to us before proceeding to make the guac on a cart in front of our table. The guac was probably the best part of the entire dinner because they used ripe avocados and the seasoning was just right. Not to mention the guy let us taste it before serving. You can tell he was trained to be y for the cart at every service. Delicious ripe avocados. We then ordered two tacos each for a group of 5. The waitress brought 9 tacos so they missed one, but what was even worse was that each taco had a different thickness and different cook. I appreciate that the tacos are handmade but some were falling apart and some had brown spots from cooking too quickly on high heat. The chili mayo sauce was overpowering with heat/no balance at all. We ordered other dishes to share and there's one thing in common across all of the dishes - NO ONE IS TASTING THE FOOD BACK THERE! I can't believe you can bring 'sweet' corn to our table and after taking one bite it's not sweet and not seasoned with salt. That means that whoever is sourcing the vegetables isn't being diligent and is neglecting a level of food quality that is expected with the kind of prices the restaurant is charging. That also means that the chefs aren't tasting their own food! Secondly, someone back there is chopping vegetables and hardly preparing the 'mis en place'. If I have a plate of beets that are cut up in dices and chopped squares and triangles, then someone's not doing their job properly. If I have a plate of arugula with stems hanging off the plate that I can't even chew, then someone's not overseeing what's happening in the kitchen and telling chefs to remove the stems. The only good things were the guac, the churros and the ambience, but you're not really going to 11 Westside just for the guac and churros. I mean come on. Photos attached show you how the ingredients were prepared/cut.

This place has amazing ambience and lots of marketing hype. Come here for drinks or a date but beware the food isnt that good. The famous chef who competed on the netflix show i think just loaned out his name. I recall not seeing his name on the actual menu. Grew up in cali...went to school in san diego and go to mexico frequently...this isnt mexican food or even good fusion mexican

I'm Mexican in Hong Kong. Si si si. Cinco sing. Viv a la razaaaaa. I come here with Eddie Guerrero theme music.

I went here last Friday night and it was a systematic dismantling of all my culinary hopes and dreams. There are several words I can drum up to describe the treatment I received at 11 Westside, but let me limit it to one: shoddy. No, wait: patronizing. The overpriced tacos, guac, and drinks are where hope goes to die. It was, and I mean this as someone who loves mexican food, objectively terrible.

First stop every time we visit Hong Kong. The food is incredibly DELICIOUS and totally on point. I live in LA (home of Mexican food) and I crave 11Westside's tacos when not in HK. The consistency explains the freshness and attentiveness that this restaurant provides each and every time. Not only is the food amazing, but the DRINKS!!! I can't say enough about how creative and well put together ALL the cocktails are. Whatever you're in the mood for, they have it all!! My favorite is the "Ronald Regan Era," "K Dot," "Money Trees," and everything else!! Quality of customer service is on point so I always leave satisfied with my experience here. I hope they get a Michelin star soon:D

Hands down best Mexican cuisine in HK. When I'm back in la. I actually crave 11westside food. The taco, the baby corn, the steak... I dream about it in my sleep. And what's better than the food? THE DRINKS!! I believe the bar manager is some Korean kid from la that won a bunch if rewards or something. Regardless, its finally nice that a place does an American pour, meaning the drinks are not super weak. The creativity, the skillsets, the presentation... 213 stars out of 5! Dont believe the other haters who claims this place is expensive and stuff. Running a restaurant is not cheap, so show some respect.

I read about this place for 2 weeks before opening. My wife and I do not live in Hong Kong so we made a special trip here. Once we arrived we arrived at 6:40 (they open at 6:30) we were told it would be an hour wait. We were fine to wait an hour as we knew they just opened. They have a great outdoor waiting area where we could have drinks and order take out if we desired. We opted for a table inside. After the one hour of waiting, we were told that it would be one additional hour. My lovely wife was able to find a spot at the first come first serve bar. Once we sat at the bar, we waited another 20 minutes before they cleared the leftovers and took our order -- 6 tacos. Meanwhile we ordered guacamole and instead they served us salsa and an extra beer (which Trent didn't give to us!). We waited another 45 minutes for them to bring them our $7 tacos. We asked for them to explain to us what they brought. We asked the bar tender, the waitress, and the manager and no one could tell which tacos they brought us. How the hell do you not know what you're feeding your patrons??!! My wife is allergic to shellfish so is it okay to leave shrimp tacos in front of her and not tell her what they are??!! We requested for the chef to come out. Ochoa arrived with just as much confusion as everyone else. When we asked what is front of us, he responded by saying that he didn't know what we ordered (he doesn't know what his own food looks like??!!). He tried to start over with fresh tacos and comping additional food. I told him it that I didn't wait 2+ hours to startover and that it wasn't about the money. He then responded and says "hey man, you look like someone who can afford as many tacos as you what!". I didn't come to this place to be patronized by some LA asshole chef who can't serve food on time. When we finally had the chance to eat: Table side guacamole: 3/10 (no salt, spice, or citrus) Salsa: 6/10 (not enough salt) Tacos: 9/10 (tacos are very good I'm not going to lie. My experience poisoned my ability to love these tacos and provide a good rating). Get the pastor and carne asada My disappointment is the fact that a seasoned chef blames his problems on growing pains but makes his patrons wait 3 hours for tacos and then doesn't genuinely apologize for shitty service or at least recognize that it's bad. Leave your recipes with the hard working local HK bar and kitchen staff and go back to LA.

I am originally from LA, so I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. Great food. Great music. Great vibes. Would recommend to anyone (especially a foreigner), it was pretty amazing, price is fair too.
