    One of the Best Taco in the South La Chinesca together with Sensei are one of the most visited place in BF. Both restaurants are sharing the same place. So those could be the reason why it is also so difficult to park during their busiest time. Fortunately, we had the chance to park and to dine in after lunchtime. While for La Chinesa, taco is their best dish and they are offering different flavor to choose from. Their tacos are so mouthwatering and so flavorful. It is so juicy that we barely used their sauces but those dips are good too. The experience to dine in is something we would like to do again and their tacos are something we would definitely crave again. 🥰

    This place is definitely worth it. Highly recommended. I suggest to sit by the bar and enjoy seeing your food be prepared from start to finish. I will definitely come back for more!

    This place is small and hard to find. Go here early as the place gets cramped very fast. Finding a parking is also a striggle. If i were you ride a trike instead going here. The food here is a bit expensive

    It’s definitely one of the best tacos in the country. Space is a bit small and can accommodate only a dozen customers. Be sure to ask for the secret menu, and check if they have the Uni Tostadas (Uni taco).

    La Chinesca is going to ruin other Mexican restaurants. Let me say that up front. The flavors of their tacos are explosive. After taking one bite, I literally smiled with joy because they were that good. They serve tacos by the piece and they are quite pricey but totally worth it.

    You will not find this restaurant by accident. There is no sign outside and you will just have to guess that it's there! It's beside Mrs Fried Rice. Although hidden, you will like the food. Specially the guacamole. Finely combined dishes busting with flavors

    2018: Best 🌮 in the history of PH tacos ever! My favorite was the camaroncito taco and the pork tacos with a kick of pineapple. The lengua taco does not disappoint as well, and the carnitas were so complex as well. BEST GUACAMOLE AND CHIPS WITH THE CHILI POWDER 🌮🌮🌮 2023: Still as good tacos - now at their joint location w Sensei ☺️ I miss the old La Chinesca vibe though.

    Still the best place for Tacos in the metro! You can do no wrong in their menu, every flavor is well balanced from the tortilla to the protein and the salsa.

    Unbelievably delicious food for its price. Kudos and more power to this wonderful mexican joint.

  • 5/5 MrsWayfarer 1 year ago on Google
    We found our new favorite restaurant in BF Homes. Tried 3 different dishes, and they were all superb! Staff were great too, they attended to us regularly and service was efficient. The restaurant is also shared with Sensei so food options were diverse. Parking is limited but there is an attendant who helped locate a spot for us.

    When heading to La Chinesca don’t get confused. It’s sharing the same space as sensei sushi but once inside they have the 2 menu for you to choose from whether you’re feeling like japanese or mexican. We ordered their staple taco tray and their uni and pulpo tostado paired with mexican coke. All tacos depend on how good the base is and they have excellent hand made corn tortillas topped with their well balanced toppings and served with a side of hot sauces. My personal favorite is the carnitas, it’s so well balanced with that added texture, sweetness, and saltiness at every bite. Another thing we always come here for is their pulpo tostado. It’s balanced, pulpo tastes great. It’s just addicting really. There are also textures in every bite from the crispy corn tortilla. The uni tostada was also really good but maybe not for everyone as uni is a delicacy. Overall a very good experience and worth visiting.

    We went to this resto for a late afternoon snack. The resto apparently observes a mid day break and wont open until 6pm. Food we ordered and our review (based on our taste buds): * Carnitas - 5 of 5 (my son ordered a second serving) * Camaroncito - 4 of 5 * Conchinita Pibil - 4 of 5 * Salmon Sashimi - 3 of 5 Place: The resto has around 12 tables more or less and so its better to come in early. Value for money: 4 of 5 Overall: The food is good especially the tacos, which we are guessing their specialty. Serving size is not that generous though.

  • 2/5 siraniko d. 1 year ago on Google
    It took me a long time before I could write this review as I was so disappointed with my latest experience at this new location. Pre-pandemic, La Chinesca was a great place to go to, with their unique, if fancy take on Mexican fare. We always came away quite satisfied and it was a place that I would recommend. When they started sharing space with Sensei, the food quality became average, nothing to rave about. The kicker was our bill came to about P1,500 per head, which was definitely very bad value for what we got. I want to say that the staff were very good and maintained their professionalism despite a lot of tables being occupied. However, I won't be going back.

    The Damage (no drinks): Php 600-1,000 for two Small neighborhood Mexican taco and tostada joint with some decent offerings. The space can be tight and can get packed easily. We liked the Campechano and Carnitas Taco among others ~~TRY😍: // Camaroncito Taco [winner!] // Campechano Taco // Carne Asada Taco // Carnitas Taco ~~OKAY🙂: // Huachinango Taco // Oyster Taco // Wagyu Taco Follow us at IG: eatsmorefun

  • 5/5 AJ Z. 5 years ago on Google
    Hard to find because there is no signage. Staff from another resto pointed it to us. A hole in the wall with about 10 seats inside but the Mexican food like tacos and tostadas are excellent. The vintage movie posters carried the La Chinesca theme & it was a bit amusing. Would come back again, the items on the menu are quite addicting

  • 5/5 Mansellos X. 6 years ago on Google
    This Mexican restaurant experience is awesome. They only have around 5 tables and a counter table but all the whole place is perfectly balanced. The dish that we highly recommended is the tuna tostada from otros section. Flavors are so light, bright and refreshing. Staff service is excellent. Good job to Chef Bruce Ricketts and his team for coming up w a great restaurant concept.

  • 4/5 Elton Donnel Cabardo (. 6 years ago on Google
    A good and refreshing take of mexican tacos. It's not the classic/traditional combinations and spices but it's still delicious. The place is small but it still gives a great dining experience. They have no sign for the place, so just watch out for a glass door with a white mask.

    The best tacos and tostadas, IMO! And don’t get me started on their guac - it’s the best!
