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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 ~
Michael GarodDecember 23, 2016
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.

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.

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.
Luis RoblesJune 13, 2018
Quesadillas with chicken, amazing. The hot sauce is really strong but good taste!
Michelle WilesJune 9, 2017
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

Simple but authentic menu. BYOB. Tasty food @ a good price point. What else do U need to know? Try it!
Emily DietrichJune 14, 2013
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
JM ChilgrenJuly 21, 2011
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.

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.

Whether you like taco or burrito, it doesn't matter. Try pescado! Their guacamole is really really good too
ChristinaFebruary 19, 2015
One of the best Mexican options in HK. You can avoid paying with cash if you order through seamless.
Jinnie LOctober 5, 2014
Authentic and delicious food! -*fish taco* is the best. Don't forget this place = BYOB ;)
Paul RMarch 20, 2015
Everything was clean and delicious. Would go back again. Fish tacos and house salad with chicken were great.
Creighton GreenFebruary 16, 2016
Get the Taco combo. (3 tacos) I love the Alambre, Pescado and Al Pastoe.
RobDecember 28, 2012

Such a great spot in HK! Byob is clearly amazing and the service is excellent. Pescato burrito is my fav!
Jacob CassOctober 5, 2014
Fish tacos n pork tacos with pineapple are must haves! Guac was fresh too!

Taco combo is great, particularly the Pescada. Excellent value overall too.

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

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

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

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

Most amazing tacos I've ever had. Get the Pescado, El Ponche, and Camarone.

Rolls, tacos, and many desserts like pudding have the perfect taste.
