La Chinesca

"This festive restaurant, that serves a fusion of Mexican and Chinese cuisine, was previously a Jiffy Lube in Spring Garden. Today, it now has front and back patios that are ideal for warm weather and great for eating their Mexicali dishes (such mole-glazed pork ribs and chorizo-and-shrimp egg rolls), sipping bright agua frescas and tequila drinks, and enjoying their Sunday happy hours with music from local DJs." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"Spring Garden boasts a lot of great happy hours, but this one is superior. From Sunday to Friday, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., they’ve got $3 Tecates, $7 margaritas, $3 tacos (avocado tempura, carnitas, and quesabirria), $5 fried wonton chips, and a whole lot more." - Ernest Owens, Erika Adams

"La Chinesca is one of the most imaginary fusion restaurants in the city. The level of genius found throughout their diverse array of Mexican and Chinese dishes is unmatched. A definitive example of this is their grilled duck quesadillas, a new entrée that’s a part of their taco menu revamp. Served with a memorable chili hoisin sauce, queso mixto, chili crisp, and scallion sticks – I found it to be a smart balance of savory and spicy flavors that compliment the tender richness of the duck and flaky tortilla. It’s the best new option for $17 that you can spend at a restaurant right now – and for good reason, clearly." - Ernest Owens

"Occupying a vibrant corner on Spring Garden, La Chinesca boasts a colorful menu full of Mexican-Chinese cuisine. Here, you can try crowd-pleasing favorites such as the chorizo and shrimp egg rolls (made with grilled corn, roasted poblanos, and served with spicy mustard and duck sauce), salt and pepper squid Caesar salad (made with grilled calamari, cotija cheese, and crispy shallots), or the Tijuana street dog (a hot dog topped with crispy bacon, chipotle mayo, and pickled jalapeño peppers)." - George Banks-Weston
