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.<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 5   <img STYLE="border:none" SRC="http://www.durianseed.com/wp-content/images/stars50disp.gif"></li> </ul> I have a different view.

It was pretty poor compared to Emporium with smaller portions and not even close to being as tasty. So I went back to Emporium today to get my fix and it was awful. What used to be a 169 Baht, stuff your face with three tacos is now staffed by totally useless staff who screw up the order and serve food that is some of the worst I've had in a restaurant. I loved the old place. Great food, great prices and I ate there often but since the face lift in Emporium it's now sucks big time. I ordered the USA beef tacos with shredded beef and my two friends ordered something different. First, my friends' meals arrived. The first looked flat and bereft of filling and the second meal came with silver foil inside which my friend had to pick out. When mine arrived I noticed it was piled with salad and no meat to be seen without careful digging about and then it was some slushy minced meat and not shredded beef. On top of that, they brought another meal.. a stuffed burrito which we didn't order but they argued we had. In fact, we'd told the staff we wanted soft flower tacos and not crispy ones and to them, this had sounded like " please add a large stuffed burrito to our order please because three people want four meals ". We're generous guys and rather than argue with this poor waitress, we told her to leave it on the table. My first bite into my soft taco was all veggies with the slightest amount of cheese. Second bite similar although something mushy was included and that turned out to be the "shredded" beef. The meat was a poor, runny mince with no flavour and was pretty horrible. I then asked the waitress to bag the burrito for taking home and this time it was a different surly, rude waitress who made some off the cuff comment and wandered off. When the bill came I ended up forking out 560 Baht for my two "meals" and a diet coke. My two friends paid about 260 each for a meal they described as very poor. We left very p*s*ed off for having been ripped off with expensive, poor food served by useless staff. What normally cost 169 Baht is now 219 Baht. An increase close to 30% !! with a 100% drop in quality. I'll never go back and neither will my friends. I rate this as a one star, but it's not good enough for that. Give this and the other Sunrise tacos a miss and try Subway by the same owner, but even that is cutting back on the fillings !! Please leave the ripping off of tourists to the Thais. We expect that, but not from an non-Thai. Poor show all round.<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 1   <img STYLE="border:none" SRC="http://www.durianseed.com/wp-content/images/stars10disp.gif"></li> </ul> I usually went to Emporium for my Mexican food and tried this one because my wife suggested it.
