Saturday, May 30th, 2009Best Mexican Food in Bangkok?
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009I guess it is all a matter of taste and price since there are a few different styles of Mexican in Bangkok at various price ranges.
This list is the majority of Mexican places in Bangkok but if you know of one not in the list please feel free to add it.
Tacos and Salsa is more like a small Taco stand type of place but with an internet cult following.
Senor Pico is one of the few Mexican restuarants in a hotel and has been around for a while.
There are 2 Coyote spots in town. Known for their kick ass 2 for 1 happy hour and tex mex style of food. Silom and Sukhumvit.
Larry’s Dive is a favorite over on soi 22 that is more of an all around restraurant but well known for their Mexican fare.
Khao San road is home to Tartars which is probably the value player out of the whole list given the location.
Charley Browns on Suk soi 11 is another favorite of the lower suk crowd that is know for their awesome fajitas and margaritas.
Less well know due to location is the small Mamacitas over near the Dream Hotel.
Then there is the 24 hours Sunrise Tacos with the make it as you want it burrito bar.
Help rate these venues for others to make a choice and let us know if there is another place we are missing.
Fried Chicken in Bangkok!
Sunday, April 26th, 2009KFC is not the answer. Maybe you know of a good street cart? Please add it for others to find. Thanks.
So when I am not looking for pizza I try to find the best fried chicken.
There are 2 places I swear by but they are both different.
The first one is near the Kampaeng Pet MRT in Chatuchak market. I think it is called the Dust Kitchen Floor in Thai.
Here is the link to it on durianseed.com. With the map you should be able to find it easily. This place has a simple menu, in English, and sticks to the basics of a few Isaa dishes, fried chicken, rice and drinks. It is all tasty, cheap and fresh. Place is always busy. The chicken alone is awesome but combined with the sauces it is even better. Simple recipe ensure juicy fried chicken. Amazing.
Second place is one of the joints in the Soi Polo area but actually on Soi Sanam Khli called Polo Fried Chicken. A different style of Chicken that is drowned in garlic before fried. Very tasty and a must if you enjoy garlic. This place also has a ton of other Thai food and is quite busy at lunch and early evening.
Two different styles of Fried Chicken but bother equally tasty.
Know of any others - please add them here.
Happy Eating!
