Dig into “authentically inauthentic” street food by iconoclastic LA chef Ray Garcia from the vintage food truck parked on the eighth-floor terrace. Garcia, best known for his critically acclaimed LA hotspots Broken Spanish and BS Taqueria and named Chef of the Year by Esquire, has created an irresistible menu of gourmet tacos — from time-honored favorites like carnitas and carne asada to unexpected (but soon-to-be-classic) inventions. Wash it all down with refreshing margaritas, Mexican beers, and curated cocktails while the DJ spins tunes — from a booth fashioned from the front half of an old sports car.Please note that we are an Adults Only (21+) establishment after 9:00PM.For parties of 9 or more, please email reservations@level8dtla.com

Decent food and they keep it warm in the covered patio which was nice. The service was spotty but it was only because there was only one server and the place was packed! I felt so bad for him. He was so nice the entire time despite the fact that it was only him. I really don’t know if I’ll be back because $30 for some tacos and guac is pretty steep, but maybe if I want to treat myself.

Server switched shifts and didn’t notify us. Waited about 20 minutes before having to go find an employee to ask for our check. Gratuity is included - so maybe the servers aren’t as motivated to provide good service. Otherwise love this place. The food and ambiance is great.

The ambience of this rooftop oasis was RUINED by a young couple next to us who were baiting each other into fights and blasting videos on their phones at each other. Given we were one of 3 tables on the whole terrace, I would have appreciated better space between diners. Food was special and service was otherwise terrific.
