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

An amazing experience from start to finish! The hostess greeted us warmly and set the tone for a great afternoon. Our server, Ryan (I believe that was his name), was fantastic—super friendly and attentive. He gave us excellent suggestions, which made our experience even better. The food was incredible! The nachos were out of this world—definitely some of the best I’ve ever had. Our drinks were equally impressive. I had a cocktail that was perfectly crafted, and my friend opted for a mocktail, which was just as delicious. On top of all that, the views were absolutely stunning, making the ambiance truly unforgettable. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend.

Pool scene is lively, which was fine for us, maybe not for everyone. Service was friendly and professional. Food was nicely presented, fresh and flavorful. A great place to catch up with old friends… an oasis on Hollywood Blvd.
