11 Westside is helmed by chef Esdras Ochoa, a Mexican native who rose to fame after his phenomenal Mexicali food truck in Los Angeles earned him the name of Taco King. It doesn’t get more authentic than this. Now you can get a taste of the Mexican street food-style tacos that spearhead 11 Westside’s menu for a bargain with their Taco Tuesday deal: 50 percent off on almost all tacos, including a different off-menu special every time. Fillings include the usual contenders of chicken, vegetables, and fish. If you’ve spied chef Esdras Ochoa on The Final Table on Netflix, then you’ll definitely need to hop on down to K-Town for a taste!
