I have been eager to try this place since I read the review by Stevied on this site from back in Novemeber. He mentions that the salsas are hot, and that's the way I like it. Well, finally today I did try it, and I'm sorry I waited so long. Move over, Bangkok, there is actually real Mexican food here! I went with a friend today, and between the two of us, we shared soft and crispy tacos, burritos, a quesadilla and quacamole and chips with salsa. None disappointed. I personally did not think that the salsas were overly hot; they will only offend the most delicate of palates. As for me, I am insane about heat. And the wait staff was more than happy to adjust the heat to my tastes WITH FRESH INGREDIENTS. Simply delicious. Reasonable prices, too. The atmosphere? Well, it is not so flashy, kinda quaint actually. Our waitress was engaging .. well more than that, she was a lot of fun. Of course, not all is perfect. Today, the margaritas were on special, so they got by with it, but the normal price for beer and booze is too high. When I go for a relaxing meal, I want to sit back and enjoy it with a drink or four. It is hard to enjoy at 100+ baht for a 330 ml beer or 160 baht for a margarita. They should at least have a daily happy hour. (The margaritas are pretty darn good, though!) This food is perhaps the best Mexican in Bangkok. Best I have had, by far. So on that strength, it should rate a 5-star. But the expensive drinks and lack of a DAILY HAPPY HOUR do detract from the potential enjoyment factor. I rate this restaurant a 4-star.

I'm usual to go there and the service has never been as bas as described here. This restaurant is not a place where you can have food quickly, it is a place to relax. Take a beer or a cocktail, which are cheap, and you'll have no wait for the food. You definitely can't say that the food is bland. I usally go for pad thai or massaman gkai, and they're OK.

I have a different view. I’m one of the people that frequents Sunrise Tacos. Many others like the food as well as many times I have to wait to sit down because all the seats are full. I have the same problem getting a seat at the Soi 12 branch and Paragon branches. If it was as bad as you say I would never have this wait. I never have had a bad meal there and my numerous friends feel the same. Just wanted to chime in that is why Sunrise Tacos always seems to be the busiest of the Mexicanj places. I’ve been to all of them and they all are different styles. Nobody beats Sunrise Tacos on price, the wide variety of free salsas they offer and portions. Taste is up to the individual but for my money, its right up there with the best. I’m from Texas so I should know. Oh another thing, love watching them make the fresh tortillas and the free salsa bar at Soi 12. Its a nice touch. The 24 hour delivery also is a good thing they got going.

Larry's has the best ribs in town and every Friday it is all you can eat. Every Friday they have all you can eat rib night for only 399 baht! I highly recommend it. The food and drinks are excellent.

2 of us went here for a late-lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Not many people there so the service was great. We split a Ceasar Salad and a Pepperoni Pizza. Both were fine. One thing I found interesting was the side of what looked like 'salsa' altho it wasn't spicy. I used it as a supplement to the 'no-tomato' salad and it was good. 1 salad, 1 pizza, 2 beers ran us 895.

I took the girlfriend there mainly to have a look. It was a weeknight and maybe a bit early. Not crowded at all. Very nice place. The service was a bit slow for my taste and the prices were way over the top. I had 2 beers while my date had some kinda cocktail. We had a plate of some mixed seafood type thing. I actually got a little bored as it was so quiet there. The bill was over 1000. I probably wouldn't go back unless invited.

I am a big fan of authentic Mexican and was pleasantly surprised with how authentic the food here is. I have not been to another place like this in Bangkok. It's not tex-mex or cali-mex or sw-mex, this is mexico city-mex. Great stuff. The fajitas I would not recommend if you like the TGIF Fridays version, which imo is better, but other than that, everything was great. The guacamole and chips/salsa were the best I've tasted in Bangkok. This is a small and cozy little restaurant and will now be a regular eating establishment in the future. Great job.

stopped in last night for a 1st look. ladies night so my friend got a free margarita. I had the buy 2 get 1 free coronas. we split a plate of coyote nachos. the plate was large and tasted fine, but the bill was 755 ? good looking girls working the floor.

Each week, I find myself ordering here about 2 - 3 times as the staff is very accommodating to what you're looking for, friendly, they deliver to the local bars (including street bars), and the food is fresh and inexpensive. Be forewarned: they don't speak much English at all. One of the restaurant staff has a child who is usually there, still in uniform watching TV, and can assist a little with the translation, but otherwise just let them know what you're looking for using the menu with photos, if the dish has some special details (type of noodles, add broccoli, etc.) I've noticed a lot of Thai's get food here, so that might be a good sign for, and of, local tastes. Tip: When ordering for delivery to a local bar or street bar, the portions are slightly larger as they put them on a plate and fill the plate, not the small to-go container.

Once a week, I enjoy having farang food. I first visited Outback on a quiet Friday afternoon in early December when essentially no customers were there. Both the managers came up and introduced themselves to me, the bartender made an excellent drink, the staff took care of the specific order details, and so all around, the experience was excellent and the food was delicious. They even made me an appetizer (at no charge) after I was done with the meal. (Not sure everyone will get that treatment.) I've since been back at night during dinner (they remembered me ... just another farang?!) and I experienced the same friendly, professional pattern from my first visit.
