FOOD:

A San Franciscan expat of Spanish descent and his Thai wife started the restaurant out of necessity, as they could not find anything close to the real Mexican food they left behind in California. Start with guacamole and chips; the chunky green haas avocado base is augmented with diced tomatoes, red onion, lime juice and coriander. Supreme nacho is crispy tortilla chips smothered in guacamole, cheese, sour cream, fresh salsa and your choice of meat. Fish taco here is excellent, the fish seasoned just right then deep fried. It's a pleasure to have carnitas and al pastor (spit-roasted) taco fillings on the menu. Tacos come with either hard corn shells or soft flour tortilla wraps. Chicken enchiladas in red sauce with rice and beans is a great platter combo. If there's room, try churros for a sweet, cinnamon-laced dessert.

SETTINGS:

For Bangkok's Mexican food lovers, this is the place they've been waiting for all these years. The venue is cheap and cheerful, but you come here not for the interior design; you come for the food.
