| - Visited Bel Air on a Tuesday evening and our group of four was told we'd have a 45-60 minute wait. We stopped next door at DLUX for a happy hour drink and were able to get seated at Bel Air within about 35 minutes!
The complimentary chips and three salsas was AMAZING! Holy man those chips were so good. And the salsas were all great too -- unique in their own ways, and the winner by far at our table was the Spicy Árbol (Árbol chiles,roasted tomatoes, garlic).
Our waiter was very patient with us and helped us decide which margaritas to get. Two friends ordered the Belair Margarita with raspberry flavoring, another got the Charred Pineapple Margarita, and I ordered a regular Belair Margarita (no flavoring, just lime). I definitely would recommend getting your margarita with a flavor if you're not big into tequila/margaritas in general. The raspberry one was very good, and so was the Charred Pineapple! The taste of the latter had a hint of smokiness to it, which was interesting but great.
We all got tacos since it was Tuesday and they have a number of tacos on the menu specially marked to be $2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We all ordered three each, and received free rice and beans since we ordered three tacos! I was overall pleased with the food. I got the Spicy Pollo, Ninja Pig, and Baja Tilapia. By far my favorite was the Baja Tilapia. The avocado salsa on it was real good. The Spicy Pollo was good as well, something fairly simple and reliable if you're not wanting anything too out of the ordinary. Lastly, I wish that the meat on the Ninja Pig was in smaller pieces. While the flavors of the taco itself were fantastic (crispy pork, hoisin glaze, cucumber jicama slaw -- reminiscent of Korean BBQ), the chunks of meat were so big that it became difficult to eat the taco itself. The last chunk of meat in the taco was inedible for me, as it was all extremely tough and I couldn't chew it. If the meat was broken into smaller pieces in this taco, it would have by far been my favorite!
And also, since it was my friend's birthday, our waiter bought us a round of tequila shots! I think they normally do a free s'mores dessert, but we were just as happy with the tequila shots that went down real smoothly :)
Overall -- the atmosphere inside of Bel Air is great, the food is wonderful, and the staff is friendly regardless of how busy they are. Can't wait to visit again!
