I "discovered" this restaurant back in February (2010). I actually dismissed it at first as I assumed that any place advertising cal-mex food would be too bland for my taste. I like the spicier style of Mexican. But I did notice that the place was located very conveniently, about a 30 second walk from the base of the steps at Asok BTS station. Then I found out that one of the owners was previously if not still an owner of Great American Rib Company (GARC), a place I had enjoyed in the past. That tipped the scale, so one day while near Asok, I stopped in and had ribs. As expected, they were very good, albeit a different style of sauce than GARC. I can't say which is better, I think it would depend on the day of the week or what flavor of beer I had before eating them that would make the difference. I was very impressed with the facility. Quaint and pleasant surroundings with a variety of options (outside, inside, bar, air-con, upstairs, street-side, etc.). Nicely done. So I knew I would be coming back. So the next time I went, I gave the Mexican food a try. As I had feared, it was far too pedestrian for my palate. I asked for hot sauce or peppers, but only got the standard US fare of tabasco-styled sauces: not what I was looking for. The food did not lack quality, just that flavorful kick that I appreciate so much. But still, with the service and friendliness of the wait staff, the overall experience was good. It was on my third visit that I found the secret. I was at the bar enjoying drinks, and I spoke to a waiter about the "heat factor." He told me about the sauces- the same as I had been given before- but this time I pressed the issue. I described the peppers that I have seen used in my favorite Mexican food, and he knew them immediately. He said that the cooks keep them for their own use. THAT WOKE UP THIS FOOD. He brought them out finely chopped in a small bowl, and I added to my own satisfaction. Now this is how it should be. Since, I have been a regular customer at Los Cabos. But it is more than just the food, drinks, facility and wait staff. When the afternoon/evening crowd arrives, the place is just fun- it has character. The layout of the bar is such that it promotes easy socialization. A good place to meet friends and make new ones. The only downside here is that it would be nice if the bar area was even bigger. Conclusion: Highly Recommended. Rating: 4.5 (see below) Suggestions: -Offer a variety of spice condiments and publish this information on the menu. There are just too many in Bangkok that like spicy food to ignore them. (Gee, I wonder why ?) -At the bar, offer a complimentary or VERY inexpensive finger-food like nuts or chips and salsa so customers can enjoy more margaritas.

ate here last night for 1st ime and will go back..great atmosphere and great food....i loved sitting outside on the veranda...place was packed..

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 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.

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.

Superb, I'm told authentic-tasting Mexcian food at a decent price, all cooked up by a guy from Mexico City. I normally start with a plate of freshly-cooked tortilla chips on which to ledle the three salsas provided - all of which have a real kick, especially the green chilli. Then, the sky's the limit really with the full range of Mexcian specialities on offer - if I had to pick a favourite it would be the taquitos - rarely seen anywhere else. The only real downside is the relatively small portions of meat, but it's all decent stuff and, frankly, the real treat here is the soaring hot salsas that even those with a taste for Thai food would find a challenge.

Really average for food that is far from cheap. The restaurant certainly looks the part and the staff are friendly, but drinks and the mediocre food are far from cheap. Unfortunately, it seems the money has gone to the wrong place.

Im a big fan of the Coyotes in Sukhumvit so wanted to try this place out. The Sukhumvit Restaurant has LadiesNight on a Thursday, where they drink for free until 8pm. I had a first date with a girl in Silom so thought I would take her here, ply her with free booze and see what takes. Only after we sat down I was informed they dont have a ladies night in Silom. Bollocks. It was still HappyHour so I ordered 3 beers and got 3 free. Order some Quesedillas which were really good - much better then the ones I had in Sukhumvit. She had some sugar-ladened Tequila cocktail which tasted like hell. Will return if im in the area, but it wont be for a non-existant ladies night
