I can say a lot of good things about Pink Taco in Century City. Unfortunately, all of those good points are undermined by a fundamental flaw in the restaurant’s concept.

The good: Location, layout (including an outdoor patio), decor, service, and food are all amazing. I’ve had the lobster enchiladas twice. Excellent. Refreshing, new & unique versions of the standard Mexican food and decor you’ll find anywhere else.

The bad: The NOISE. “Alternative rock” music plays at dance club volume. The experience is like having dinner in the middle of a dance floor. We had to literally shout our orders to our server and he had to shout them back at us to confirm he got them right. One-on-one conversation is very difficult — unless you can read lips. Group conversation would be impossible without lots of shouting.

Pink Taco should decide if it wants to be a restaurant or a dance club — it’s ridiculous to try to be both at the same time. If the music volume were maybe 1/10th of the current level, Pink Taco would be a real winner.

if you’re looking for a fun/funky place to grab drinks & dinner w/friends, then pink taco isn’t a bad place to be. it’s in the west field century city mall, and has free parking for 3 hrs. it’s more haute cuisine than traditional mom ‘n pop homestyle mexican, but it’s still good. very festive, trendy, party atmosphere.

Pink Taco is one of those places that I just need to keep going back to! The last time I was there was a couple weeks ago with my friend Mike. He spent the whole night flirting with the waitress and ended up getting her number before we left! Haha! But whatever, I’m hitched so I was there for the food. That’s way better than getting some girl’s number!

awesome place to go with friends, great decor, amazing food and drinks, loved it!!
