All expectations should be checked at the door when it comes to Tequila Jack's. This is a bar that…read moreis more about fun than it is about fajitas. It is more of a bar than it is a burrito joint. Come here for the drinks or for their attempt at Latin / Mexican bar food and bring some good company to boot. This is one of those places where a good time depends on who's drinking and who's not. The place has plenty of seating on the inside and quite a section for outdoor action. Folks can smoke and drink as they please outside with no problems. On the inside they have TVs galore, usually broadcasting Mexican soccer / futbol games. The staff is not pretentious and they have provided good service each time I'm here. Don't be nervous about trying to say the words on the menu, chances are the nearly app Nepalese staff might have trouble saying it too. Let's one thing straight: the "Mexican" food here is close to an abomination. Anyone coming here to get their fix of sopa tortilla or the next great mole poblano will be sorry they did. The bar is stacked with versions of bar friendly Mex, which includes nachos, quesadillas, and tacos. Most of the aforementioned is incredibly mediocre, but being that HK is not blessed with quality Mexican fare, the food at Tequila Jack's is hardly a surprise. Do however, indulge on their themed nights. On Saturday nights for example, is steak night for $108 each. It is a 10oz steak with some fixins like fries, veggies, and corn on the cob. I'm usually not terribly crazy about cheap steak but theirs is a slight exception. My steak has been cooked perfectly each time and the marbling / fat actually melts in your mouth. I have been here since the prices were $90 and the steak has been one of the only highlights food wise. On the drink front, they have a legit array of Mexican beers along with a stellar selection of tequila. It's probably the most abundant collection of tequila I've seen in the hood. The prices per shot aren't cheap ($140?) but if money doesn't matter as much the drunks are in their own league at TJ's. Lastly, if you're sitting outside at night: Watch out for our furry friends running around. They have caused quite a stir in the past. And *do not* feed them.

Don't think by me giving this establishment a 3 that I will not be back. 3 means "the ambiance is genuinely hispanic, the tacos were great, the nachos were not so great, but we will be back to give something else on their menu aa try to truely decide." Coyote Bar screams the ambiance of mexican food. Downstairs is more of the bar scene and upstairs is a quiter option for table dining. We sat upstairs. From decor to music, it feels like a hispanic joint...for being a hispanic joint in a Chinese country! Service was quick and staff was friendly. They have an abundance of Margharita options...like 2 full pages of them. So if tequila and margharitas are your thing, this might be your place. I had a Cubre Libre instead and it was a pretty generous booze pour and glass size. We shared nachos and fish tacos. Fish tacos were fantastic...warm, great fish, light batter, good sauce, sweet and salty...they were really delicious. The nachos fell a little flat for us. It was the chip. Nachos are all about the foundational tortilla chip! The toppings were good, but it appeared that once the nachos are made, they must pop them in the oven to melt cheese and meld all the ingredients together. Subsequently, when they do that, they suck the moisture out of the chip. The chips were limp, thin and a bit dry. If they fix the quality of the chip, these would be spectacular, they would survive being in the oven part better. A great nacho chip needs to be a touch salty and bit heartier. We will go back and try maybe the burritos and/or enchiladas. There was someone at the table next to ours that ordered a salad with shrimp on top and it looked really good. We live on the other side of Hong Kong, so this will not be a regular stop for us. But if you were seeking out Mexican food, this was as authentic as I have seen yet since moving here.

On the first look - the tacos looked closest to what I've eaten in HK, including the rice and beans. The taste wasn't that far off. I was elated (not because of the drinks). My vegetarian foodie buddy and I happily ate them off. I prefer the soft shell ones, she wanted the hard shell. We washed it down with another glass of margarita, though that was a bit disappointing - too sweet, and not fresh jalapenos, even though they told us they were. It was a nice evening, two vegetarian dinners, Mexican at that, chatting away and discussing the cliches about Indian men & society in general. Salud! Pictures on the blog - thevegetarianvoyager

They were mainly zucchini & cheese, but still very good. The chips and guacamole were great. With the chimis came black beans & rice, also good. Not so great was the ONE HOUR wait for takeaway (although it was Valentine's Day.) All in all, not cheap (plan on HKD$150/chimichanga or burrito) & about $65 for chips & guacamole, but hit the spot!

Knowing this wouldn't be an authentic street food style Mexican cart burrito, I placed my expectations closer to a Chipotle. And basically if a bunch of Chinese So-cal surfing ninjas wanted to leave Venice Beach and start up a chain in Hong Kong selling burritos, this would be the place to get the spicy burrito fix for a global appetite. In the end, I ended up eating here at least twice a week for a year. Best ever fast food burrito chain in Central area.

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.

I found The Ale Project after researching if Hong Kong had any Mikkeller tap rooms, and although…read morethey didn't, it looked like a Mikkeller run club had stopped by here before! That told me enough to at least visit TAP and check things out. Definitely the vibe I was hoping for, with a variety of draft beers available for a multitude of palates. I love how there's a food menu here too so you can snack while drinking! We tried a few beers, but the ones that stood out were the Honey Longan Lager and a sour Lingonberry Soursop Ale! The flavor combinations were great, and also unique finds you couldn't get at other shops! 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. If you're into craft beers, then absolutely stop in The Ale Project if you're in the area!

It can get quite hot as the kitchen is directly there and they have an open store front so the AC wasn't super strong. They have a good sized drinks and food menu. The skull theme of the restaurant was a nice touch on the walls and on their glasses. I got the pulled pork quesadillas and the chili con carne nachos. I loved how they had individual nachos, each sprinkled with equal amounts of cheese and meat. The employees were super friendly and shout out for the complimentary shots!

As a native Californian who is used to a 50% diet of Mexican food when I'm in the States, I have…read morebeen on a long search for a more authentic Mexican restaurant in Hong Kong. And El Macho comes REALLY close. The food is spicy - fajitas, burritos, quesadillas are all fantastic. I've tried the steak and pulled pork versions and love both. I don't recommend the tacos because if it's not deep fried, why is it served in a hard shell? Should be soft corn tortillas or not at all. They have different tortilla options, which is interesting - spinach, tomato, or flour. The jalapeno margarita set my mouth on fire in the best way. Things they're missing - salsa verde, free chips and salsa to start, an appetizer with just guac and chips. Things that are great - the decorations, the playlist, the glasses, the bartenders, the coziness, the spice, the margaritas. This just might become my new hangout.

The papas con carne (fries with meat) was fine but this could easily be made better. Service was great, music was Latin, and even though it's small it has a good ambiance. I will be back!
