Funny how they don't mind digging into rotis and curry in the mornings. I think if they knew that it was an Indian style curry that they were eating, they would say "mai aroy".

Yes, I think this is probably a good summary of the situation actually. And with a few trendy bar / restaurants around in Bangkok now (e.g. Coyote for Mexican, Indus for Indian, etc.) more middle class Thais are trying it and so the number of Thais who now like Indian and Mexican food is growing.

Sunrise is probably getting a lot of its Thai customers from people passing and seeing how busy the place is.

But, in contrast, you won't find too many Thais in a small Soi 11 or Soi 8 Indian restaurant; neither trendy enough nor busy enough to entice them in to try the food.

There's a fast food style Mexican outlet in the Villa shopping center at BTS Ari. Limited menu, no guac., but reasonable prices. It's called Sabrosa Grill. I grab a burrito or quesadilla from there every now and then. The taco salad is good too for the price.

Nothing to do with that. I would eat Mexican food that George made if it was tasty.

Well maybe not.....

Average food and overpriced for what it is. Sunrise Tacos pisses all over this place from a great height.

They served two fried eggs on top of soft corn tortillas, and put spicy beans, a folded flour tortilla and a salsa mix on the side. The salsa and beans were very tasty and authentic.

I'll try it for lunch or dinner one of these days and report back.

Ladyboy waitress so Butterfly would like it.

It's been a couple of years, so the ladyboy must be a new addition. BWTF, one must appeal to the broadest market possible to survive in the restaurant biz.

Poor dear, a washed up ladyboy. BTW, the BBQ ribs are a good choice for dinner. If you are so inclined to visit, would appreciate feedback from you on the new restaurant on Kalim Beach. Believe it's called the White Box and specializes in Mediterranean food. They were scheduled to open in November but may not have yet.

^Yeah, I saw that White Box (your old home I think, right?) advertised in Where to Eat and drive by it a lot. I'll try it one of these days.

Meanwhile, I did stop in at BBQ Hut for a Mexican Combo meal. I had a cheese and beef enchilada, Mexican rice, spicy beans (I guess this is supposed to take the place of refried beans), and a Burrito I think. The taste was pretty good for Thailand, but not really memorable. It could never compare to the most common place in LA, Denver or Albuquerque. I've never had Mexican in Thailand that was close to authentic. I'll go try Coyote on beach road and let you know if it's as good as the one in Bangkok.

Not sure when I'll get to Kata Sir Burr's recomendation.

There is also a place in Rawai, close to the gas station. It used to sell Indian food. It's now been taken over by a young American bloke. He sells Mexican, Brazilian and Cajun food. Can't remember the name of the place, but it does have a big sign.
I had tacos which were unlike any taco I'd ever had, but, bloody good and he does have avocado. Not cheap, but worth it IMHO.

Ok, so I admit it, I've been on a Mexican binge lately. Today, I had lunch at Coyote in Patong. My report:

Living also in BKK, I've probably eaten at Coyote on Convent 15 times or so. Well, Coyote on the beach road in Patong is just as good if not better.

I ordered my usual Enchilada Suiza, which is two corn tortilla enchiladas stuffed with chicken, guacamole, salsa sauce, frijoles, smothered in cheese, and Mexican rice and spicy beans on the side. Very yummy, though a big too long in the oven as the tortillas were a big crunchy.

Price: 395 Baht + two mid day happy hour frozen la casa Margueritas at 90 Baht each for a total of 605 Baht. I'm a fat, happy camper, with emphasis on fat.

hey chitown,

as a fellow Chicagoan (west suburbs) & Dave Kingman fan, I must say I enjoy Miguel's-Cafe - Mexican Foods and Restaurant in Chiang Mai.

I ate there today for lunch, & the veggie burrito is out of this world, amongst their other burritos!

I use Sabrosas in Tops on Thong Lor and prefer it to Sunrise.

It tastes like a proven, tried and tested product to me rather than Sunrise which always seemed to taste like someone has just experimented with a few ingredients and chucked it all together. I mean, asparagus in my burrito? WTF?

I'm doing fajitas tonight hence my interest in this thread.

Good luck with the fajitas. If they turn out to be delicious, post your recipe. If not, don't bother.
