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

This was my third visit, and the experience was consistent with past visits. The real standout here is the absolutely spectacular view—easily one of the best in the area. Whether you’re inside or out, the scenery adds so much to the experience and makes it a great spot to soak in the surroundings. The food and drinks are good, though on the pricier side, so it really depends on what you’re looking for. Service can be hit or miss, but the host on Monday was super welcoming and made a great first impression. If you’re after a meal with an epic view, it’s definitely worth checking out!
