One of my fave restaurant in HK. Food is delicious, owner is friendly + it's BYOB . The fish taco is people's favorite, but I always get the Al Pastor and Alambre tacos . Don't forget the flan !

Excellent Fish Tacos , you can request them grilled. Pollo Taco was great too. Loved the Chipotle Guacamole . Too bad no margaritas here. Excellent food, authentic , reasonable.

Ian Gee

The taco combo is a great way to try out their different preparations, I got a good sense of what I like more there. The staff is super nice and down to earth. Cozy place.

Noah M

Shhhhh. This is the best taqueria in HK , with some amazing moles . Tiny and cozy , you'll miss it walking down the street if you're not paying attention. Still no liquor license, so BYOB .

One of my fave Mexican spots in the city . Great food (they accommodate special requests), friendly service and BYOB . The only bad part - as of recently, they're cash only on Fr, Sat, Sun.

nick antonelli

literally everything on the menu is a delight; a hole-in-the-wall hk gem with an authentic taste, cool atmosphere, & byob policy. what's not to love? I rock the pulled-pork quesadillas & chips/guac ~

Try the alambre in either taco or burrito form, because grilled steak with poblano peppers is an amazing combination – especially with all the cheese , salsa , and onions your heart could ever desire. Read more

Michael Garod

Had the pulled pork quesadilla and steak chilaquiles ! Loved everything. And it's BYOB with a nice selection of beer at the deli around the corner. $5 corking fee.

Andrew Cerda

Tacos are soft-style (flour tortillas ), and although the fish taco (pescado ) is delicious, I thought the al pastor was a standout.

Jeff Mendels????hn

Fish tacos and burrito is the way to go. Friends ordered the quesadilla and fajitas and were also terrific. Best Mex Ive had in HK so far. Recommend it.

JM Chilgren

The tacos were definitely the best part - Barracho and Al Pastor were great. The guac (Ponche version) and fajitas were so-so. Would come back to try some others or order via Seamless for the 20% off.

Simple but authentic menu. BYOB . Tasty food @ a good price point. What else do U need to know? Try it!

Christina Dietrich

Cochanita taco spot on. House made tortilla chips and salsa , ask for the spicey habanero salsa . In from Arizona, and it's the closest I've gotten to my Mexican fix.

Emily Dietrich

Being from Arizona, I've been searching for authentic mexican and I've found it! Ask for the spicy habanero salsa . Awesome tacos , get the cochinitas

Michelle Wiles

Hidden gem of a Tex mex place. The salads are decent if you want to go lighter, and whatever they put on the chips is crack

Luis Robles

Quesadillas with chicken , amazing. The hot sauce is really strong but good taste!

Paul R

Everything was clean and delicious. Would go back again. Fish tacos and house salad with chicken were great.

Erica Douglas

BYOB - bring tequila and get grapefruit Jarritos to mix it with. Cash only Fri - Sun. Fish tacos are AMAZING with alambre (steak ) a close second.

Faith

The fact that you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom only makes me love this place more.

Andres Ripoll

You can't go wrong with any of the dishes offered here, I personally like the fish tacos .

Percy Holmes

The roast pork with peppers and onions was excellent!

Whether you like taco or burrito , it doesn't matter. Try pescado ! Their guacamole is really really good too

Christina

One of the best Mexican options in HK. You can avoid paying with cash if you order through seamless.

Fish tacos n pork tacos with pineapple are must haves! Guac was fresh too!

Ponche pulled pork or the very yummy chicken which is close to a Tinga

Rob

I recommend the 3 tacos with the home made chips and salsa , my buddy Jon turned me on to it . I need to go back again soon .

Josh Saletnik

My favorite Mexican food in HK. The pescado burrito with the sauce from the pescado tacos is amazing, and a tad addicting!

Plates are around $10, and it's BYOB for $5/bottle. Cash only some nights.
