Guderian Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 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. https://www.facebook.com/DavesCantinaPattaya/ Why not give it a try and beat the usual food critics to a review?

NormanW Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Tequila Reef was good many moons ago but the area and parking are an issue. On soi 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 There's a new place in town. https://www.facebook.com/DavesCantinaPattaya/?hc_ref=SEARCH&fref=nf One reviewer gives this place as the best enchiladas in town. I haven't been there yet but will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceMangosteen Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC1 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Tequila Reef was good many moons ago but the area and parking are an issue. On soi 7.That has some awful reviews on google.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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). Edited February 11, 2017 by Awohalitsiktoli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did, let's see one trace online or a picture. Edited February 11, 2017 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
