Having tried the chicken and pork in both taco and salad form, neither left me overly impressed. And while I can't quite put my finger on what it is, there seems to be something about the flavour of the lettuce that doesn't work for me.

Out of everything Cali-Mex does, I think they do quesadillas best. Filled with chunks of white meat chicken breast, plenty of gooey cheese, a salsa of my choice (medium, please!) and then topped with sour cream and guacamole, Cali-Mex's quesadilla provides a comforting slice of the west when I need it the most. And their half-sized portion is perfect for one person, trust me. If you're like me and prefer to conclude your meal with a sweet, try the churros with caramel or chocolate sauce. By no means is this low-cal, but if you're going to indulge do it right. Right? Cali-Mex's website and new app make it easy to get your Mexican graving satisfied no matter where you live on HK island. And better to order directly through them instead of FoodPanda as Cali-Mex doesn't charge a service fee... who doesn't like saving a bit dough?

Not the most authentic place for tacos... But when they only cost $10 each (or advertised at $9.99)…read moreon Taco Tuesday, who's to say?! The happy hour deals are a steal - $38 for Mexican beers and $40-$45 for margaritas. Come early after work if you want to grab a table inside. Technically you can call in advance and reserve a table if you want to be sure (especially for groups of 4 or more). They offer you complimentary nachos with salsa first. If you want a refill or a new basket, it's HK$10. Surprisingly, no pico de gallo or guacamole. The Taco Tuesday deal is as such - "soft beef" or vegetable tacos for $10 each. They use flour tortillas (a no-no in my book) - and when they advertise it as "soft beef", it's really just ground beef. They tasted good but nothing outstanding as what you'd find in California or Mexico. I wish they added more filling - more beef or vegetables (seems like they used frozen vegetables as the base like corn and peas? I would have at least expected them to use bell peppers like in fajitas) or shredded lettuce. But then again, we're in Hong Kong where food portions are scarce and overpriced. Sigh. I will give 4 stars to the mountain of cheesy "soft beef" nachos. 3.5 stars to the "Dos Hombres" chicken and beef sizzling fajitas, which came with a plate of flour tortillas, lettuce and cheese, and guac/sour cream/salsa on the side. Their bathrooms are not the cleanest, I'm afraid... But that didn't stop me from having a great time catching up with friends over food and drinks!

Being from the actual Southwest and the "land of burrito" origination, I feel in good faith that for what you find in the realm of "Mexican" fast food here in Hong Kong, Cal-Mex is pretty good. It is the "breakfast burrito" that is available all day where I am hooked. Eggs, sauteed spinach, some veggies, salsa. Kind of a giant portion, but not greasy or heavy. I eat pretty clean when I can, but do miss true southwest cuisine. Cali-Mex is kind of a way to merge the two here for me in HK...a little bit. The staff is friendly, quick and the buffet of ingredients they dump into your burrito always looks clean, organized and fully stocked.

The guacamole is made from crushed avocados (not fake avocado paste), and the salsa is about as close to Tostitos brand salsa I've found here in Hong Kong - I mean that as the highest compliment.

Now I live in Boston where Mexican food is literally a joke. So imagine my surprise when I tried Mexican food at Caliente in HK (TST) and it's actually better than most of Boston's Mexican options?!? Let me get the negatives out of the way first. I was disappointed in the burrito. It was bland, beans were hard and undercooked (why were both refried beans and black beans in my burrito in the first place?), and many of the ingredients that should normally be standard inside the burrito were of extra cost as a side item (really, salsa is extra for a burrito?). That said - everything else was amazing! The high notes: The grilled corn on the cob! OMG Fantastic! The tacos were delicious. We ordered the 5-set, and picked one of each - pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, and fish. I can definitely say you can do without the seafood varieties, they were overcooked but edible since the flavors were incredible. Pork shined the brightest. I will say their soft taco shells (a true Mexican no-no) were likely not made in-house, they were a bit more chewy than one would hope... but it's easily forgivable. On the other hand, the free chips and salsa that started the meal were likely in-house made, and delicious top-to-bottom. I especially liked how fresh their salsa tasted. The margaritas were also sweet and tasty. I think I preferred the traditional lime over the guava, mango and wild fruit options. All could have used a bit more tequila (or maybe I'm just a lush), but then again it was happy hour so I can't complain. The best item on their menu might be... drumroll please... their nachos‽ Yes, the most non-Mexican item was also their most spectacular. How the heck did they manage to get a little of every topping onto every chip? That feat of perfection is a rarity in the USA, and it actually makes a big difference. Now keep in mind, nachos are a staple on every bar/pub menu across America, so one would more likely call it Tex-Mex than Mexican. But who cares, it was freakin' delicious at Caliente!!! I'll be back for sure. A class-act Mexican establishment in the heart of TST.

I've been searching a long time, but so far this is overall the best Mexican I've had in HK…read more Received the tip from another yelp review, but was a bit skeptical (as I always am when it comes to claims of good Mexican food in HK), but especially given the location in Knutsford terrace, which I usually associate with drink spots and mediocre-at-best Western food. The Nachos were definitely the highlight (I know, not the most authentic Mexican dish). But they really pay attention to the detail with the massive mound of nachos: every single chip was at least partially covered in melted cheese and had easy access to the other toppings. This means the cheese and toppings were not just sprinkled on top, but added layer by layer. I'm not sure if I found even a couple of naked chips. Not often over in this area, but will make it a point to visit for that next craving for Mexican food.

Despite it's wannabe Mexican flair, Agave is more of a place to knock back a few margaritas and tequila shots than it is a place for chocolate-y mole and handmade tortillas. The food doesn't win here, but it is one of the only places in Hong Kong that showcases excellent Spanish live music. For anyone who has been to their sister location in Central (https://www.yelp.com/biz/agave-tequila-y-comida-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF-2), the Wanchai Agave feels remarkably different. Seedier than its LKF location, it is perched above ground with an open patio to people watch while sipping a drink. When it comes to the food, my inner Mexican self is not terribly impressed with the greasy execution and inflated pricetag. Much of the food is either over salted or over cheesed. The menu is comprised of mainly quesadillas, nachos, ensaladas, enchiladas, antojito appetizers, burritos, tacos and fajitas. There are also some classic items like cochinita pibil ($158HKD), chilaquiles de res ($118HKD). And there's even a few options for molcajetes (think Mexican bibimbap wtih stone bowls), which range from $150-220HKD. My sad enchiladas rojas ($164HKD) was drowned in sauce and caked in ranchero cheese. There wasn't much meat inside the tortillas, and even the accompanying rice and beans were skimpy portion wise. Even the tacos ($138-168 for 4) were teeny tiny, but loaded with salsa and fixins. At about $4-5 USD each, I was more disappointed at how bland my pork and chicken tacos were. Even the ground chorizo quesadilla ($128) was a blanket of wet cheese and grease. The bar is prominent and loaded with various tequilas and mezcals. Shots anyone? (The answer is always "Si.") The selection is pretty impressive, with slightly more obscure brands like El Tesoro ($98HKD) and Correlejo ($98HKD). All shots range from $68-428HKD, which is no joke price wise. Drastically cheaper are their other spirits in the house, which get even cheaper during their happy hour. One of their major highlights is Chris Polanco, their main squeeze for the live music. The man knows how to work a crowd and sings a hell of a rendition of all sorts of Mexican songs. It's easy to sit at the bar, rock a drink of some kind and just let Chris do his thing on the guitar.

While it may not be the traditional flavors of Oaxaca or whatever, as a Tex-Mex place it cannot be beat! We've had other attempts at Mexican in China but they always lack the flavor and depth of the stuff back home. So when we came here we had limited expectations. Honestly, my quesadillas were amazing! The ground chorizo was my favorite because it was so damn tasty! The enchiladas were great and our friends really enjoyed their vegetarian fare. The quest fundidio was a favorite of all four of us. They have good margaritas and the decor takes you back home even if it's just for a couple hours. The service was good although my attempt at having two meats in my quesadilla was translated into two different ones. I can't complain because I was really hungry and they were both delicious. It is pricey since it's in HK and the area is populated by brothels. However, just take an Uber to and from and you will not be disappointed.

We ordered some food to eat as well - the garlic fries were VERY garlic-y, and we also got the lap cheung spread on bread. Think of pate but made with lap cheung! Super unique find as well.
