Cali-Mex Taqueria (已結業)

I usually don't write multiple reviews of the same restaurant, but my last trip here changed my opinion of this place in a number of ways, so I thought "blog" some thoughts in the form of a review.Without going into too much background, my wife and I were coming back from a trip to China yesterday evening-- and the flight was predictably delayed. My wife was in a strong chimichanga mood, and so before going home we rolled our suitcases up the escalators to grab chimichangas at Cali Mex around 10

As soon as I saw this place being done up I just couldn't wait for it to open.The exciting thing is that there are four branches and the one at LKF is open till late.In the UK it is usally a greasy kebab after clubbing but in Hong Kong the trend will be burritos!I tried the first branch as soon as it opened on Wellington street.When you go in, you are greeted with Mexican sodas and warm orange decor.There is seating upstairs and this branch is a mirror image of the Wanchai branch where the stair

Another contender for the spot of "Good mexican food in HK" falls short.   Had the beef burrito, fish tacos and beef taco salad.Overall, the ingredients were fresh and put together very well.   However, one VERY disappointing area was the tortillas.   They are HORRIBLE.   The thickness and doughy-ness of the tortillas ruin anything that was put inside.   I believe this is a terribly important issue to fix.   Bad tortillas ->  Bad cal-mex.For the fried-tortilla shell salad, the frying oil's t

It was a while since Mexican fast food first started trending in Hong Kong. There was Taco Truck a few years back, and that mostly seemed to be it. Taco Bell never quite made it in Asian. So it was a very happy day for me when I saw Cali Mex popping up along major spots on HK Island.Since I reckoned ordering hard taco for takeaway might be a bit messy, I opted for the Regular Beef Burrito ($97) instead. Considering the price tag which could get you a decent sit-down lunch complete with drinks, m

Not a fan of churros because the taste depends on the frying oil.Anyway, I just had to try it.There is a choice of chocolate sauce or caramel sauce with the churros and I chose the caramel.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★churros with caramel sauce:The churros were good because they were crispy with a slight chewy centre and they did not have any oily taste or smell.The caramel sauce was divine because it was not sticky or too sweet, it was light and hung on to the churros nicely with a delicious burnt carame

I always have a craving for mexican food.  It's cheap and delicious back at home.  $1 for a tacos with a wide variety and $5 for a burrito that can power you through the day.  Mexican food in HK has been a big disappointment and every single time I muster up the courage to frequent a new Mexican restaurant, I am left woefully disappointed.  I read about Cali-Mex and its plan to expand very quickly in HK.  With the amount of capital they have at play, they must be good.I ordered a chicken burrito

cali-mex 字面解做係加洲同墨西哥 墨西哥菜係美國相當之流行,不小美國人都會去墨西哥餐廳用餐 畢竟大家都咁近我個人都幾中意食墨西哥菜 香港我都走訪過大大小小既餐廳 之前食過一間係加路連山道既一試難忘估唔到cali-mex都可以做到咁好食香港大部份真係堂食坐低既墨西哥卷都無包飯係入面,以據我所知,burrito係應該有豆蓉醬/黑豆加飯再加guacamole(綠色牛油果醬)salsa係入面包住一齊食,cali-mex正好滿足左我呢幾個願望整體唔錯既,價錢都係墨西哥餐既價錢,不過老實講叫burrito就抵食d起碼有飯墊底會飽肚味道唔太濃 要guacamole既話就要加18蚊 今次我叫左original chicken+gucamole 一共96蚊, 真係好大件好飽 食左一半食唔落女仔可以叫一份share 食tim!

I like burritos, I want burritos, I need my burritos; there is no Chipotle in Hong Kong but I guess Cali-Mex will do.The one in Central (Wellington Street) is the best one among all the outlets so far. Staff are better prepared and skilled here. They take less time in making your order and getting the line going. The price is slightly pricey for "just" a burrito, but then again, it's Central .I ordered the burrito with chipotle pulled pork, black beans and salsa verde. The pork itself was tender

新開的 Cali-mex除了有售 burritos和tacos之外，還有churros！Churros即叫即炸，非常辣手脆酥，沾滿砂糖和肉桂，是空心的那種，所以就算吃過它們份量偏大的burritos後，肚裏還是會有位子把它們裝下，不過有點油膩, 焦糖醬味道亦麻麻，只有甜味，欠缺焦香。

There seem to be the stirrings of a burrito trend in Hong Kong. First Little Burro opened up, and then Yonge Piggies started to sell burritos as well as hot dogs and "ice cream sundaes." Now, this place called Cali-Mex has opened or will open four locations in Hong Kong. I had to give it a go, so here are my thoughts.First, this is relatively Hong Kong, but also relatively maddening: there's a giant bar full of fixins, but you don't get to stand there and tell them what you want on your burrito.
