I'm no expert on Mexican food so I'll leave it to others to tell you which is best, but there's anew place just opened on soi 17/soi Regional Land, Dave's Cantina.

Why not give it a try and beat the usual food critics to a review?

Tequila Reef was good many moons ago but the area and parking are an issue. On soi 7.

There's a new place in town.

One reviewer gives this place as the best enchiladas in town.  I haven't been there yet but will.

Mike's Mexican.

A google search and a google map search comes up empty.  I guess I'll head out today and look for it on Soi 18 hopefully.

Did you find the place in sai18? I might be heading out there tomorrow. :D

I always try the new places and always seem to end up back at Mike's spending my last 500 Baht. The rush to the unknown "Sai 18" is just another example of people rushing to find even a taco truck here. It remains a shame Taco Bell isn't available.

It's not on Jomtien beach road. I looked for it tonight and after driving up and down all the way to the end and a couple of extra times around soi 18 I could not find it. I settled for Just burgers which is in that area.

 

Also stopped by Pastrami on rye about 9pm. They were closed no one in sight. Usually they close at 10pm. A paper sigh said "Open 10pm" I guess they meant 10am.

Remarkable...as I mentioned, we will ride up and down, around over and under looking for a taco truck...There was one sort of place at the top of Soi 10, tried it once about six months ago. Horrible. To add to today's mystery, Just Burgers closed over a year ago, the "owner" moving back to the USA. Maybe someone took it over? So onward we go in search of reasonable Mexican food. Sure, Dave's or Mike's is good, but reasonable? I think not....God Bless You and Mexico.

That has some awful reviews on google. I remember years ago it was ok. Is it really that bad, has anyone tried it recently?

I went about 2 months ago and enjoyed it.

I went there last week and thought it was just average.  But I am spoiled coming from So. Cali with some great Mex. food.

Mike's was better I thought

 

One thing about these place is they never have Guacamole.  I see Avocados in the markets for 100 b.  Expensive and they do spoil easily.  So, I was thinking about making my own and bringing it in.

No, after reading another post I decided not to waste my time looking for it.  Thanks for the tip though, perhaps another time.

There were two Just Burgers on Jomtien Beach Rd, the one closest to the night market changed names and moved across the alley.  The other one past the stop light on Beach Road stayed open, not sure what current status is today though.

It really is a shame that Taco Bell is not here.  They are all over Manila, Philippines, so it would not be that hard for them to expand here.  Having eaten at all of the places here (i.e. Pattaya-Jomtien), I would rather eat at Taco Bell.   Most of the existing places refuse to give you free salsa fresca and chips w/ your meal (standard thing to do in the USA).  One only gives you two small tortillas w/ an expensive fajita order (how cheap Charlie is that).  I am sick of rubber meat w/ no real Mexican spices and tasteless sauces, along with overpriced and watered down margaritas.  At least Taco Bell is not pretending to be anything but what it is.   The only decent Mexican food place is La Monita in Bangkok.  I have never seen a tamale place in Jomtien.  Is there such a place?  Where?  I have noticed that the soi dog population has decreased in Jomtien (joking, I hope).

Yes, I have eaten there 3-4 times.  It is OK.  I much prefer La Monita.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that not only does this place "Chewy's Tamales" not exist now but that it quite possibly NEVER existed. If it did, let's see one trace online or a picture.

 

 

Oh well.

So predictable

Nothing to do with the topic or my comments here.

Sorry, I can't stoop to your angry level of insults. No more from me on this.

Whatever.

Anyone have any leads on the mysteriously non existent tamale parlor?

Yeah. It's just left of the country you can't afford.  So be nice to people where you live
