Corrected entry: The "tacos" served by the award-winning, $1200-a-plate restaurant are woefully inadequate. Tacos are accompanied by chopped onion, cilantro, chopped chiles (usually serrano) and lime. Other toppings such as chopped pineapple, tomato, or avocado are optional. These so-called "tacos" are cold, stiff tortillas and meat.

Continuity mistake: During appetizers, John Leguizamo's assistant puts her work phone on the table to let him know she is resigning. Leguizamo is holding his glass when the camera is behind him, and a spoon when he's seen from the front. (00:13:10)
Trivia: John Leguizamo said that he based his character's bad attitude on Steven Seagal. The two had worked together in the past, and Leguizamo found Seagal to be incredibly nasty, self-centred and unpleasant. (Admittedly an experience not exclusive to Leguizamo, if you've heard the stories about Seagal...)
Question: During the fight scene between Margot and Elsa, there's a moment where Margot rolls over a counter and falls to the floor. The shot where she lands on the floor looks very unnatural, as though Margot was green-screened into it. She doesn't seem to blend into the background properly, but also casts an accurate reflection on the metal beside her. Did they paint out a crash mat she landed on or something?
Correction: In no way is this mistake. In fact, this mistake is quite incorrect for two separate reasons. First of all, it's not a "mistake" for a chef to serve a minimalist variation of a pre-existing dish. (Several of the chef's dishes have minimalist ingredients, in fact. He literally served a bread plate without bread.) Just because tacos are usually served a certain way doesn't make it a "mistake" if they're not. Second, beyond that, the fact it's only meat and tortillas actually relates directly to the plot, since the meat is a representation of the story he told about his father, while the tortillas have incriminating photos burned onto them.
