So we are back to square one again. Well, I'll check in this evening.
are we reading the same link for chowhound? Im reading the one you posted... and while no one said food was horrendous and there were some gripes with alcohol and service, , they all seemed to say that the food was mediocre at best, like great bar food, but not great restaurant food. For example, almost everyone said the 4 different tacos (venison, fish, chicken, pork) all kind of tasted the same, and had similar texture. In my mind...that spells disaster right there.
So if your goal is to go get drunk, and have some good food. Then it sounds like it fits the bill. But if you are going for some good mexican, it sounds like it falls short.
However, i have not personally eaten there, so I can't vogue for these comments. Just saying the reviews are not great.

The Chowhound page on Brickhouse is certainly worth reading! The place sounds like a zoo after 7 - and since someone compared it with Yardbird (one of the most over-rated restaurants I have ever been to)I think we'll probably give it a miss. The photos on Sassy seemed to resemble the view that Mr SS has of Mexican food too.
Oh yes, the comments are quite something. The taco comment is spot on. I'm kinda focus on the food then the drinks but back-alley joint overrun by 20 something isn't really right for me.
Go to Caremba. It's the best HK has to offer, despite it being more tex-mex
Someone mentioned a place in Sai Yin Pun the other day, but sadly can't recall the name. It's on Second Street apparently and nothing fancy but the food is decent and a lot cheaper than hanging out in central.
