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. The ribs are noted as one of the best appetizers, with a beautiful honey mustard finish. While the calamari salad has nice textures, it can be a bit bland. Cocktails are excellent, with drinks like jarritos and a mezcal signature drink receiving praise. Guests enjoy the simple and smooth drinks with fun names. The outdoor seating with music adds to the fun ambiance, and many appreciate the airy space full of character. Some wish for larger portions, and although the bathroom lighting could be improved, it remains clean. Overall, it is a tasty spot with nearby parking, and guests are encouraged to make reservations for outdoor or indoor seating. The atmosphere is enhanced by fantastic service that makes everyone feel welcome.
