Cold-Overpriced to the Max | Cali-Mex
The first time I knew about Cali-Mex was when I passed by the outlet in Central when it was still under renovation and while I finally saw the opening of another branch in Wanchai, I went there to grab a quick lunch one day. There aren't many Mexican joints in HK, let alone good ones so I was really looking forward to giving this place a try. The branch in Wanchai is on Queen's Road East right next to Burger King and PP3 - quite conveniently located. Ordering's at the front, and there're seating on the second floor.
That afternoon I was craving for something light so I opted for the Baja fish taco ($98) in medium spice, which was definitely not cheap I thought. *still reminiscing the once-upon-a-time CAD 99cent tacos at Taco Bell* Food was ready pretty soon and I grabbed a free-seating-fast-food-style table upstairs. The order came in 3 taco shells, although the presentation didn't look too very appealing.
In fact, the food itself didn't taste that great either. The salsa and sour cream was cold, which of course I wasn't surprised but nothing else was even a tiny bit warm, not the taco shell, not the fish. While there're 3 tacos in an order, which worked out to be around $33 each, there was only one small piece of fish found in each one of them, and the rest was stuffed up with veg and sour cream.
This place is not worth my second try. I would much rather get a deluxe lunch combo at Tsui Wah WITH beverage at this price. At least they serve their food hot.
