What People Are Saying About Pink Taco

Featured Review

Martha Burr

Contributor

In Short – Perched jauntily atop the Century City shopping center, this hot pink hot spot welcomes guests with a towering castle-like lattice door. Only there's nothing aristocratic about this buzzing taco joint. Here, you'll find eye-popping kitschy Mexican designs, star-shaped aluminum light fixtures, lowrider bikes, vintage girlie pix alongside shrines to the Virgin de Guadalupe and century-old wooden barn walls that exude the party-hearty vibe people have come to know and love. Popular Mexican dishes get a haute twist with entrees like pink corn tacos, filet mignon with chipotle…

Editor's Tips

Happy Hour:
Take advantage of the daily happy hour from 3pm to 7pm, with select drinks priced at two-for-one.
What to Drink:
The bar's expansive tequila list offers an extensive premium tequila selection, and more than a dozen signature themed margaritas like the "horny bull" and the "Dirty Harry." There's also specialty sangrias, mojitos, martinis and Mexican beers.
Where to Sit:
The outdoor patio overlooking Santa Monica Boulevard is fun at night with its rock soundtrack and fire pits--it's also popular with the smoking contingent.

  1. The decor inside is pretty fun and crazy but the food is pretty bland.
  2. The decor and ambiance is great as well and the service was good.
  3. adore everything about Pink Taco, fun, good service, cute atmosphere-but their rice has chicken powder in it, which is not cool if you are a vegetarian!
  4. And, indeed, the sunshine, heat lamps, fun music and great service all contributed in making it a wonderful afternoon.
  5. thanks, I'll be back soon and I recommend that anyone else to go there too for great bartenders, a great atmosphere and great food!
  6. Refreshing, new & unique versions of the standard Mexican food and decor you'll find anywhere else.
  7. But the food was delicious: both salsas are great, good chips and queso, large menu with many options, great margs, good music, fun atmosphere, and good service (usually from attractive female waitresses).
  8. The food was pretty good the ambiance was nice but dark and the drinks are overpriced as usual.
  9. love this place the decor is fabulous, the food was great and the wait staff was hott!
  10. Cool atmosphere, nice outdoor patio.
  11. The menu is definitely overpriced because of it's location but if you're going to have mediocre food, then Management needs to at least invest in formal employee training!
  12. Although we had to wait 20 minutes for a table, the bar is huge and a fun scene to hang out in.
  13. Great taco's and good ambiance!

  22. The atmosphere was great, you knew that everyone was there to have a good time and enjoy themselves.
  23. This is a good place to go with a group of friends rather than for a romantic dinner.
  24. Obviously the appeal is the "dirty name" and the "trashy bad girl atmosphere", but the food was good too.
  25. Had a bday party adn we were all pleased with the food and the restaurant was a lot of fun full of friendly staff.
  26. Great food and great atmosphere!

  1. I'll stick to less expensive places where I can drink 16oz of draught Stella Artoise at $7 a glass.
  2. Not a hint of any fresh lime in the drink.
  3. But on the one occasion i did get a drink, the sangria blanco is really good-tons of fruit, and comes in a really big glass.
  4. sit outside or at the bar if you want to enjoy the happy hour and dinner!
  5. Fun, good drinks, food was alright.
  6. but when the waitress found out that we didn't like our drinks her mood switched.
  7. had a wonderful experience there, she knew lots about all the drinks that I had expressed interest in and also had great recommendations about the food.
  8. Don't let the name fool you, great food and terrific drinks.

  11. can't say if the food and drinks at this place are any good, but I can tell you that the way we were treated when weI showed up for the Grand Opening party after submitting our names to be added to the guest list and GETTING AN EMAIL CONFIRMATION AND IN
  12. It has a great atmosphere, a large bar, cool music and interesting decorations.
  13. would recommend this place if you are looking for a chill place to have a drink after work, especially if the weather is nice.
  14. good food and the best drink.
  15. Chips and salsa were great, though, as were the drinks.
  16. good drinks, ok food
  17. Go during happy hour and enjoy the big game on one of their flat screens, and the cheap drinks!
  18. Gotta say a pretty bad experience especially when our waiter would disappear for 30 minute periods leaving us without food, drinks.
  19. Inattentive service and overpriced drinks
  20. So my final word is to come for a drink and enjoy the ambience and surprisingly interesting music, but don?
  21. but it was waaayyy too expensive and the waitress sucked and the drinks were weak and the portions were tiny.
  22. Her attitude was dry, she never came back to ask us if we needed anything, never offered water or drink refills and had the nerve to ask us to pass all of our plates to help her clean up!
  23. My new favorite place for drinks
  24. The drinks were strong and the food was delicious.
  25. Food not good enough to charge 7 for a bottle of beer
  26. Unfortunately neither the food nor the drinks were very good.
  27. The drinks were poured with a heavy hand, which is always nice.
  28. well fine the drinks sucked and so did her attitude so it was fine that we were rushed.
  29. During our lunch we were attended to promptly by a very friendly and very nice waitor, our drinks were always replaced, and the food (especially the carne esada fajitas) were great as long as your not expecting this to be Boa or Mastros.
  30. If you need to, order beer instead.
  31. There's lots of good, affordable food on the menu, lots of hot girls hanging around (or working), and a great full bar.
  32. our waitor was very nice and friendly, the drinks were huge and good for only the first 15 minutes until they melted and tasted like medicine, pretty much everything we ate was a bit spicy and bland.
  33. If you're looking for some pretty good food with nice drinks, this is a place to put on your list.
  34. We started in the bar and that was by far best part of it, good chips and salsa and good margaritas!
  35. the drinks were good too not watered down.
  36. The food was pretty good the ambiance was nice but dark and the drinks are overpriced as usual.
  37. Beyond being hot, they were both helpful and friendly, and knew how to make a good drink.
  38. ....the drinks are great the bartenders are cool and I love the hot suits everywhere!
  39. Great for groups looking for drinks and good food.
  40. The portions are big and the food was very good, it's a great place for friends to hang out and get drinks.

  1. The food is slightly more interesting than an El Torrito, but still clinging to an institutional faux-Mexican style.
  2. My favorite thing here is this really awesome chicken plate.

  5. the decor was amazing, the food was amazing, the waiters were hot!

  7. grew up in northern California, the home of authentic taquerias and Pink Taco is the exact opposite of what mexican should be.

  20. The portions are big and the food was very good, it's a great place for friends to hang out and get drinks.

  38. So I have to say I visited pink Taco and had a great experience there with a great girl/bartender who was earlier reviewed on here as "rude" and I just wanted to express my satisfation on the food and the service!
  39. We went to this recently opened restaurant with 2 teenagers and had a great meal.
  40. So when I took my first bite and realized it was covered in refried beans, but the burrito was so good, that I didn't bother sending it back.
  41. I'll respond to sendita's review by saying gee, when it's website even says it prides itself on serving "authentic" food what kinda food is that?
  42. There's lots of good, affordable food on the menu, lots of hot girls hanging around (or working), and a great full bar.
  43. The food was good but very high priced for what you get.
  44. But I actually liked it, especially the yummy chips with salsa.

  56. Great food and great atmosphere!
  57. There is no excuse for Mexican food this horrible in Los Angeles.
  58. To say Pink Taco is authentic Mexican is to say that PF Chang's is authentic Chinese.
  59. When we got the main course my tortillas were cold so I asked the server to give me fresh warm tortillas, she just brought back the same ones reheated.
  60. My one and only complaint was that the dish that I ordered had beans and after reviewing the menu several times, I realized that the wording was extremely misleading.
  61. The place is very nice and there are pink tacos all over the walls.

  87. great food!
  88. The food is overpriced, unauthentic, mediocre tasting at best and to describe this place as "edgy and celeb-heavy" is a joke.
  89. Obviously the appeal is the "dirty name" and the "trashy bad girl atmosphere", but the food was good too.
  90. Everybody ordered different entrees and by and large everyone said that the food wasn't very good.
  91. our waitor was very nice and friendly, the drinks were huge and good for only the first 15 minutes until they melted and tasted like medicine, pretty much everything we ate was a bit spicy and bland.

  17. happy hour is the best bet, as the prices are normally a bit on the high side.
  18. The portions are big and the food was very good, it's a great place for friends to hang out and get drinks.
  19. At least it was a huge portion of nastiness.
  20. Go during happy hour and enjoy the big game on one of their flat screens, and the cheap drinks!
  21. Cool place, big portions
  22. The food is overpriced, unauthentic, mediocre tasting at best and to describe this place as "edgy and celeb-heavy" is a joke.
wait time
60.0% positive
  1. Although we had to wait 20 minutes for a table, the bar is huge and a fun scene to hang out in.
  2. Dined last Sunday and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table when the restaurant seemed only about 60% full (saw other diners wait, too).
  3. Gotta say a pretty bad experience especially when our waiter would disappear for 30 minute periods leaving us without food, drinks.
  4. During our lunch we were attended to promptly by a very friendly and very nice waitor, our drinks were always replaced, and the food (especially the carne esada fajitas) were great as long as your not expecting this to be Boa or Mastros.
  5. our waitor was very nice and friendly, the drinks were huge and good for only the first 15 minutes until they melted and tasted like medicine, pretty much everything we ate was a bit spicy and bland.

Reservations nightmare! Food-to-price ratio poor!

by ramosfet

I called to reserve a dinner table for 16 people and it was a nightmare. I first called may 13th to reserve for may 20th. Whoever answers the phones doesn't know how to take reservations. I called them over 10 times to verify my reservation and they had no idea what i was talking about each time. Everytime i called, i was asked for my phone number and email address, but no one ever got back to me. I provided them with 2 fax numbers so they can send me the credit card verification form (necessary for large parties), never received anything from them.

I was even told Hazelle the manager would call me, still no call and it's been over 6 days. Earlier today, they sent me an email offering 3 free pitchers of their "margaritas" if i keep the reservation. First off, your margaritas have way to much sweet and sour. Second, after this whole fiasco, they don't deserve my business.

Beware of the $700 minimum on parties between 15-20. I have been to finer bar/restaurants in century city and the surrounding area that don't require any minimum, let alone $700 or a credit card verification form.

Safe to say, i cancelled and made reservations elsewhere.

Cruel Marketing Stunts Don't Make the Bad Crowd Any Better

by mackenziemorelion

Although the place can sometime be fun, the food is nothing to write home about and the crowd tends to be pretty much Daily Candy and Perez Hilton readers, ie: wannabes. I have never actually seen a celebrity or true 'hollywood type' there. But, its LA, so popularity is all in the marketing.

Today, it was the site of a VERY cruel animal-involved stunt. They have done this stunt before, as they're pretty tacky, thus the reason why the Hollywood Crowd doesn't actually go there.

*Today Pink Taco shaved and spray painted a young Donkey and tied him to a post outside in in 90+ degree heat.

*His/her feet were tethered together so he/she couldn't move!!

*The paint was bright and thick, so this donkey's body wouldn't even have been able to sweat through the paint. ,,,I am DISGUSTED that any business would assume this is ok.

I will be making sure all of my friends and friends friends know about this. there's no way I will ever go there again, not even for a nightcap/bootycall.These stunts are absolutely inexcusable.

Like this place

by VL57

This is my favorite restaurant to go to when I am in Century City. Their food is great and I have never been disappointed by the quality of what I have ordered from their diversified menu. I've tried their soft shrimp tacos, burritos, lobster enchiladas, tostada salad, fajitas... delicious! Fresh products and large portions.
