Top 5 Best Mexican Restaurants in Bangkok

The Undisputed King of Tex-Mex

If you ask any Bangkok expat where to get Mexican food, 9 out of 10 will say La Monita. Located right next to the Phloen Chit BTS, this colorful, energetic spot is famous for its massive portions and incredible salsa bar. Their California Burrito is legendary, and the Carne Asada Tacos are grilled to perfection. It’s loud, fun, and always packed, the closest you’ll get to a Mission District taqueria in Southeast Asia.

Opening Time: Daily, Mon - Fri 11:00 – 22:00. and Sat - Sun 11:00 - 22:00

Location: Mahatun Plaza (Ground Floor), Phloen Chit Road.

How to get there:

BTS Skytrain: Take the BTS to Phloen Chit Station (Exit 2). Walk down the stairs and turn left into the Mahatun Plaza compound. It's right there.

The Authentic Garden Hideaway

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Thong Lo, The Missing Burro feels like a secret garden party. Housed in repurposed shipping containers with a lovely outdoor lawn, this place focuses on authentic Yucatecan cuisine from Mexico, not just standard Tex-Mex. Don't expect yellow cheese here; expect Cochinita Pibil (slow-roasted pork), Gringas, and arguably the best Carnitas in town. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner under the trees.

Opening Time: Daily, Mon 17:00 – 23:00. and Tue - Sun 09:00 -23:00

Location: Thong Lo Soi 7 (Sukhumvit 55).

How to get there:

BTS Skytrain: Take the BTS to Thong Lo Station.

Taxi: It’s a bit of a walk into the Soi. Better to take a motorbike taxi from the BTS to "Thong Lo Soi 7" (approx. 20-30 THB).

The LA-Style Taco Specialist

Cholos started as a small food truck and exploded in popularity thanks to one thing: Birria Tacos. If you want that viral experience of dipping a crispy, cheesy beef taco into a rich, savory consommé broth, this is the place. Located in "Bangkok's Koreatown" area (Sukhumvit 12), it has a cool, casual street vibe. Their Baja Fish Tacos are also a must-try, offering a perfect crunch that rivals anything in California.

Opening Time: Daily, 11:00 – 23:30.

Location: Sukhumvit Soi 12 (Inside Bangkapi Mansion).

How to get there:

BTS Skytrain: Take the BTS to Asok Station.

Walk: Walk down the skywalk towards Sukhumvit Soi 12. It’s about a 5-minute walk into the alley on the right side.

The Upscale Fiesta Vibe

Located inside the Rembrandt Hotel, Mexicano (formerly Señor Pico) is the grand-daddy of the Bangkok Mexican scene. This is where you go for a celebration. The atmosphere is vibrant, often featuring a live Cuban/Mexican band playing Latin hits. The food is upscale and authentic, prepared by a Mexican chef. Their Guacamole is made fresh tableside, and they have one of the most extensive Tequila lists in the city. Great for birthdays or big groups.

Opening Time: Daily, 12:00 – 23:00.

Location: 4th Floor, Rembrandt Hotel, Sukhumvit Soi 18.

How to get there:

BTS Skytrain: Take the BTS to Asok Station or Phrom Phong Station.

Walk: It is a 10-minute walk down Sukhumvit Soi 18. Look for the Rembrandt Hotel.

The Authentic Homemade Experience

If you want food that tastes like a Mexican grandmother made it, go to Tacos & Salsa. While many places use factory-made tortillas, this restaurant is famous for its hand-pressed, homemade corn tortillas. The difference in taste and texture is huge. The interior is brightly painted with murals, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Their Salsa Flight (a tray of different spicy dips) is a highlight, and the Tacos Al Pastor are widely considered some of the most authentic in the city.

Opening Time: Daily, 12:00 – 22:00.

Location: Sukhumvit Soi 18.

How to get there:

BTS Skytrain: Take the BTS to Asok Station.

Walk: Walk down the skywalk to the Exchange Tower side, go down to the street, and walk into Sukhumvit Soi 18. It is about 300 meters inside the soi on the right.
