About La Chinesca

La Chinesca offers a unique fusion of Chinese and Mexican cuisine near Chinatown. Dishes like black bean fundido, pumpkin tacos, lo mein, and calamari Caesar salad are delicious. The quesabirria taco stands out as a superior choice, praised for its perfect beef, traditional tortilla, and sharp salsa. Guests enjoy the salt and pepper squid Caesar salad, which is fantastic and big enough to share. The churro French toast and burrito mojado also receive positive mentions. Cocktails are excellent, with drinks like jarritos and a mezcal signature drink receiving praise for their simple and smooth flavors.

The outdoor seating with music enhances the fun ambiance, and many appreciate the airy space full of character. Guests enjoy the quirky decor with pink neon lights and a gas station theme that adds to the experience. The atmosphere is further enhanced by fantastic service that makes everyone feel welcome. While some dishes may lack the desired texture, the food overall bursts with flavor and is artfully plated.

La Chinesca is a great spot for drinks and appetizers, though portions may be small for big eaters. Reservations are recommended for the popular outdoor or indoor seating, especially during busy times like happy hour.
