We sat beneath the turquoise parasols in the al fresco area, enjoying a light breeze, and gushing over the cute pets that passed by occasionally (yes, the outdoors area is <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/dog-friendly-cafes-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pet-friendly<\/a>!).<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the sea of teal umbrellas outside the restaurant, the interiors had warm terracotta walls, reminiscent of sunny days in Southern Cali. Pieces of art deco and beau art were dotted around the site, adding brightness and creative energy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179704\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-179704 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-where-theres-smoke-cocktail-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"where there's smoke cocktail bar hand fiery\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-where-theres-smoke-cocktail-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-where-theres-smoke-cocktail-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-where-theres-smoke-cocktail.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Studio City&#8217;s cocktail bar may well have one of the <em>littest<\/em> selections of tequila and mezcal in Hong Kong (pun intended)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Drinking the heat away<\/h3>\n<p>Did we just say we had a light breeze? Ignore us. It\u2019s the start of summer, and we almost immediately needed a cool-down. Thankfully, we were offered the signature Where There\u2019s Smoke to start with. It comprised Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, mango, jalape\u00f1os and torched lime. With an extra ring of jalape\u00f1os and salt on the rim, the drink was fruity, sweet, and spicy all at once. We liked that the spiciness added a kick while not overpowering the tropical flavours. Noice.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we opted for the Classic Margarita. Consisting of fresh lime, triple sec, and the premium Casamigos Blanco Tequila (made with 100 percent agave), the cocktail went down pretty smoothly\u2013perhaps even more refreshing than the average margarita.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179700\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179700\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-179700 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-ceviche-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"three bowls ceviche on table\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-ceviche-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-ceviche-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-ceviche.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ceviche on the right was what we had, with octopus, prawns, sea scallops, clamato and jalape\u00f1o<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Getting fed up right<\/h3>\n<p>Then came the food. We first had the Acapulco Ceviche; there were two to three pieces of different kinds of seafood, amounting to a fairly generous portion (considering the price). The acidity of the citrus marinade, which was somewhere between a vinaigrette and a cold broth, was tangy and rather savoury while carefully balanced by diced tomatoes. This greatly enhanced the seafood, though it was already delectable due to the freshness and crisp textures.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179706\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-179706 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-nachos-grande-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"huge nachos bowl\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-nachos-grande-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-nachos-grande-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-nachos-grande.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look at this whopper of a nachos platter. Rejoice, nacho lovers!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To follow, we had the charcoal-grilled Chicken Tinga Quesadillas. It would be a good choice for Tex-Mex first-timers, with tender chicken, chorizo, tomato and cheese\u2013a pretty safe combo, really.<\/p>\n<p>But nothing prepared us for the giant that was the Nachos Grande. The bowl was heaped with freshly fried corn tortillas, black beans, pico de gallo, chipotle sauce, sour cream, jalape\u00f1os, guacamole and melted cheeses. That\u2019s a pretty decent list. On top of those, there was the choice of pulled chicken, pork carnitas, grilled ribeye steak, or spinach and mushroom (veggie option) added to the mix. Despite having a mountain of ingredients, flavours were well balanced, and the crunch of the nachos just made everything that much better.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179703\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179703\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-179703 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-tableside-guacamole-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"tableside guacamole ingredients fresh avocado three hands dipping nachos\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-tableside-guacamole-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-tableside-guacamole-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/05\/mexican-food-restaurant-review-studio-city-by-cali-mex-hong-kong-tableside-guacamole.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Tableside Guacamole is freshly made with ripe Hass avocados, crushed and mixed with toppings of your choice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Final thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>With a limited group, we didn\u2019t get to try the Tableside Guacamole nor the tacos. We wish we got to have a taste of the vegetarian Nopales with the grilled cactus\u2013sounds funky, right? There was also a great range of shareable plates from the traditional La Parilla (Mexican grill), like sea bass, ribeye steak, and even a huge tomahawk.<\/p>\n<p>The menu at Studio City may be pared down compared to that of Cali-Mex Taqueria, but everything was of a superior quality and worth the price. While the tranquil and laidback atmosphere was a pleasant surprise during our visit, we could imagine bigger and rowdier crowds during <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/best-happy-hours-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">happy hour<\/a>, which isn\u2019t half bad (okay, we\u2019d love it really).
