La Chinesca is an authentic taqueria which began as a pop-up concept by Chef Bruce Ricketts of Sensei Sushi, Mecha Uma, and Ooma. It’s for taco fans looking to have the real deal when it comes to Mexican food, complete with the hole-in-the-wall dining experience. It’s not for people unwilling to brave the traffic. We recommend the Tripitas (beef intestines) and the Guisada de Res (beef shoulder and lengua). Our insider tip: Check out their off-menu specials!

Sizzlin’ Steak is your one-stop place for delicious DIY sizzling treats. Meat your match and take your pick between their Rib-eye, Tenderloin, Stirloin, Cheesy Beef Rice, Chicken Steak, or even create your own! It’s for people who want to create their own sizzling dish. It’s not for people who are on a strict diet. We recommend the Chicken Steak, Pork Steak, Cheezy Beef Rice, and the Create Your Own Platter Meal for 2. Our insider tip: when you use the Booky app, you can claim their Buy 1 Get 1 Chicken Steak with Shrimp!

Vikings is the absolute best buffet experience in the country, featuring a cornucopia of flavors that can’t be found anywhere else. Vikings features several food stations including the appetizer and salad station, the Asian, Western and Mediterranean stations and the dessert station. It’s for a hungry camper down for the long haul in an ambient buffet setting. It’s not for the light of heart or stomach. Our insider tip: watch out for new and seasonal dessert treats.
