I think it's a recurring special, so look for it again next Saturday.

Yes it shows up sometimes but I don't think it's that predictable.

One day only!

 

On specifical today at hotmeals2u.com is a massive shredded pork burrito for 200 baht free delivery.

 

You can get similar Supreme burritos daily but not with the special shredded pork.

 

Available with grilled steak (recommended), shredded chicken which is rather dry, or ground beef if you like tex mex style. 

 

I endorse these burritos!

 

I like to pimp them up at home with my own avocado and Tabasco Chipotle hot sauce but you can order extra sides from the site as well.

 

hotmeals2u.com is the delivery arm of Tigglebitties American and Mexican restaurant.

I tried it. Came as a soggy mess, the delivery guy had trouble finding the address even when GPS coordinates were set. It was big, I'll grant that, but the only spice I could taste was jalapeno. Not to my liking and doesn't take delivery in a styrofoam box well, I'll give it a pass next time I feel the craving for a burrito.

OK. I always get mine quickly and fresh as they know me. As I said I pimp it up with Chipotle hot sauce and avocado. They do indeed come with some pickled Jalapeños and some salsa Fresca inside that includes cilantro. I do agree that it needs more spice which is why I add my own hot sauce. As far as the soggy compaint they do add some ranchero sauce which makes them a semi wet burrito. Wet burritos are a style of burritos. I happen to like that style but also like regular style. They do have regular dry burritos on their menu too. The ones not labeled as Supreme are not wet. I probably should have emphasized the wet aspect before.

 

Too bad you didn't have a good experience. For others that want to try it themselves as I said before I do recommend it with grilled steak which they have every day.

 

Going down memory lane the very first burrito I had in my life was coincidentally a wonderful very wet loaded super burrito on Mission Street San Francisco. Run by a Mexican family. On the jukebox this was playing.

The taquerias on Mission were legendary and I guess still are. Made many a trip over there myself and pigged out. Fond memory, yes.

Thanks, inspired by your information I think I will give it another try later, dry this time. I wasn't aware of the wet versions. The jalapeno poppers I had for sides were really good.

I actually haven't tried their dry not supreme ones there so let us know. I think the regular burritos at Taco Taco are pretty good though expensive and they are definitely better in house where you can get all the different kinds of salsas that you want. In the world of burrito of course wet style is definitely much less common. I'd say most burrito places don't even do wet style.

 

Btw if it makes you feel any better a while back I ordered chicken enchiladas on special from hotmeals2u.com listed as having ranchero sauce. You need sauce for enchiladas. It was near their closing time so the kitchen forget the sauce. Ended up tossing it.

Had special today in Robin Hood Tavern.

Salmon fish cakes, very tasty and reasonably priced at 249B.

Did notice recently prices creeping up-399B for a fish and chip off the menu but still available on special Fridays at 249B. Also seem to be targeting a more upmarket customer with some of their specials.

Seem to have laid off some staff recently.

Where do you eat?

[bkk6060]

Surf and Turf.

Always wanted to try this place.  Right on the beach in Naklua.  Very extensive menu.

Really good every dish was fresh and high quality.  I thought the prices were reasonable for the location and quality.

Wish I wouldn't have waited so long will definitely come back soon.

Yes, it's good. Reservations on weekends are a must - popular with BKK people.

Salmon Teriyaki dish from Robin Hood T a few nights ago, came with a really nice veg berry rice for 299B, enjoyable healthy dish.

[hackjam]

Retox weekly special, Liver dish, 199B, great value and a good meal overall.

Retox Game on.

Thank you for Beza pizza buy 1 get 1 free, 2 pizza for 200 is a good price.

And what about pasta? Where can you find cheap good pasta or ravioli ?

Most restaurants buy fresh pasta and ravioli from pattaya wholesalers for 300 baht  / kilo, so selling an empty dish (seen on photos here) for 250 is way overpriced.

 

where can we find a big italian pasta dish for 200 ? 

 

Any idea ?

 

thank you.

Yes. 

I should mention that I don't personally like the ravioli there. But it is low cost and they have several varieties.

An example of a similar pasta that I like is the not cheap tortellini at Marcos Jomtien. Also on apps.

Had a look at the new Witherspoons on Beach Road today at 1pm. Huge place with loads of TVs and builders still working to make the place even bigger. Looked at a menu. 180 Baht for a bacon butty (£4.50).Thanks but no thanks.

The place had zero customers in; far too pricey for pub grub. I hope they succeed but they are making it very difficult for themselves.

Thanks for the mention.

I was considering going down there, from naklua, easy enough.

Doubt I will now.

 

Yes, the prices some places charge for quite basic pub food seems very high to me.

I pay 1/3rd that price ( bacon sandwich) just round the corner from me

I have had a look at the menus of both.

 

Pulcinella does seem to be good value, with a lot of variety.

Location not convenient, cannot think of how you would get there by bahtbus .

Marcos also looks good, their pizza prices more or less in line with what I pay, as are their cold cuts starters.

 

I used to sometimes go to Alby& Mickeys on soi bukhao  for tortellini, about 250 baht, very good.

That was a long time ago though and I have not heard or seen mention of them for ages.

Yes Pulcinellas location isn't convenient. Hungry Now delivers for free and their prices don't seem inflated as some apps do. 

 

But comparing the two overall the quality is going to be better at Marco's including their pizza.

 

I tried the "Italian" hamburger at Marco's of all things and it was excellent. But it better be for about 400 baht

CLEARLY the only honest Italian restaurant in Pattaya, but maybe prices are so good because it is still new ?

NOWHERE else you will find such good prices for the same quality food as the most expensive Italian restaurants which all are cheaters.

Pulcinella is the only place where you can find so many different kinds of pasta for 150 thb / dish.

Maybe other restaurants that want to survive should follow these steps ? or just close, because anyway this is what they deserve for cheating people for so many years.

Pulcinela kitchen is also open until midnight EVERYDAY, unlike most of the losers in this country.
