I always went early in the morning and found WOW to be uncrowded. I hate when the customers sit on a machine and rest or talk on a telephone. I found the staff, other than the salespeople to be very freindly. But I never asked for anything special and other than checking in had nothing to do with them.
I just checked in, changed, and went from machine to machine. It's very clean.
I don't know what a Diamond Dual Membership is but I paid 8000 for 4 months, because I had to leave BKK for 5 months. I should have taken the year I guess. I guess I could have gotten and year for 8000. Next time I'll be tough.
But I think I got my moneys worth any way. I got some good workouts in. If anyone has pointers about the membership, please enlighten me, because I'd like to join with the option of going to use the Pattaya WOW as well.

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.

We went there the other day and rated it 3 out of 5 on our foodie blog. Like several others here have said, the drinks were fine but the food left a lot to be desired. We described the breakfast as being "meagre". The fish and chips were OK, but they took an age to come and the place wasn't even busy.
I'd go back again for a drink, but definitely wouldn't bother with the food again.

What was I doing here on a Monday ? Dance floor is closed on Monday. Took a date there who wanted to dance and found out too late no dancing on Mondays. Instead when upstairs to some 'chill-out' area. Couches and some DJ playing new-age jazz or some such shit. Had one beer and left. Altho very nice, not my scene.

I know I know..I said I wouldn't stay here again, but I needed a place for 1 night I it was easy and I didn't need a pool this trip. Same as before, I still like the near-ness to Cowboy.
One good thing ...this time the internet connection was very very fast.

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.
