Well it's American style Mexican but I do love their Super Burritos with steak but suggest adding avocado at home. Also on Fridays they have a special with shredded pork. Hotmeals is related to Tigglebitties but delivery only. They use their own drivers and free delivery for over 200 baht orders.

I was surprised the first time I visited Mexico and thought, "They don't know how to make Mexican food in Mexico?" then had a good laugh at myself. Paradigms were shifted that day.

Yeah.. Can't eat that sort of obscenity after 3pm anymore, but seeing this video makes me a bit jealous of the guys living in Pattaya.

That's some name the restaurant has- Dr. Spooner might be offended though.

The Burrito is the main thing I order most of the time...

The carrot cake is pretty good...

The refried beans are pretty good..

The coleslaw is decent...

 

The pricing is not cheap but even a cheap charlie like me thinks it's good value for the money...

Take a look at their "How to order" video on YouTube. Specifically at the 1 minute 17 seconds mark:

I'm guessing you didn't look very closely at the video at the 1m 17s mark?

Yes, its odd isn't it?  Any establishment marketing itself as 'authentic American' is to be avoided at all costs, at least by me.

So its Mexican, which last time I looked, is not in the US?  Perhaps they are talking land mass rather than country.

Why would I ever want them to deliver to me any American cuisine? I cook myself thanks, I don't need delivered food, especially that type.

Lots wrong with your reply.  Where did I say it was garbage?  Each to his own taste.  Since when is Mexican food American?  Have the US appropriated their excellent cuisine too?  From the ads I see on the NFL game nights, ( and the ads are almost exclusively about food, or trucks, or using your truck to get food) its all about sugar, syrup, burgers, fries, wedges, massive calorie meals, unnecessarily large portions and absolutely no style/subtlety whatsoever.  But maybe I'm mistaken?

It's as good as can be expected in Thailand. I am a regular for their steak  super burritos. When I get the Friday Shredded pork I ask for Ranchero sauce on the side and add tortilla chips  I also order their unbreaded chicken Parm with spag bolognese, BBQ chicken mondays with coleslaw and refried beans, and their chicken tortilla soup which I majorly pimp up at home.

 

Occasionally they have very special specials such as

 

Tamales platter

 

Turkey with all the trimmings baguette!

 

French dip roast beef sandwich 

 

Unfortunately I don't like their tacos much but the Fried fish ones are ok I guess.

 

They do not have authentic flavor salsas.

Much of the US used to be Mexico. 

The US has its own regional styles of Mexican food that aren't served in Mexico except maybe at gringo tourist traps.

[Jingthing]

Regulars what do you think is missing on their menu?

 

For me

 

Mac and cheese

I really don't understand why they don’t do that. It would be a best seller.

 

Collard greens

 

Grits

 

Hush puppies

 

Sweet potatoes 

 

New England clam chowder

 

Real southern fried chicken not fast food style 

 

Chicago style Italian beef sandwiches

Pimped up chicken tortilla soup recipe.

Order with a side of refried beans which includes sour cream. Also order 2 corn tortillas.

 

If soup isn't hot enough to melt cheese, nuke it.

Put base soup into large bowl including the tortilla strips, cilantro and cheese.

Add Thai chili powder and Bottled Chipotle hot sauce to taste.

Stir well.

Add warmed up sliced poached chicken slices.

Add the cream that came with the beans.

Stir.

Top with a generous amount of sliced avocados firm if possible.

Soup is ready and scoop up the beans with the tortillas.

Thats what appropriation means. So do tell me, what is totally, uniquely American cuisine. and don't say Mexican, which is just that, Mexican? Am I wrong in thinking its burgers, ribs, fries, pancakes, donuts and syrup?  Its not a coincidence that McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, and Dunkin Donuts all come from the US. Hardly high end dining is it?

The American diners I know are all run by Greeks... They may be making cheeseburgers, but they are thinking hummus.

Sounds good to me, but I was led to believe that authentic American food is Italian? Certainty in Boston and California, . where I spend some time, that seemed to be the choice of most discerning people, but Greek or Mexican were joint second place.. 

[Jingthing]

Italian you say?

 

 

Americans don't consider Mac and cheese Italian at all! Pure American.

Alot has to do with immigration patterns in different places.

The Greek owned diner thing is mostly northeast coast.

Hummus isn't Greek.

We'd never have New Orleans cuisine without the French influence

Italian whether decent or crappy is the most popular "ethnic" food nationally.

There are many many different styles including Italian American red sauce joints. Italian American can sometimes be very good regardless of what Italians think.

I grew up on such a place. Pops pizza. Eggplant Parm and stuffed manicotti to die for.
