El Centro — Restaurant in Borneo

BOTTOM LINE - a quirky and lively Mexican / Middle eastern fusion restaurant with potent cocktails (rated 4.2 / 5, in comparison to other casual restaurants in Asia)

WHY YOU SHOULD GO Variety: plenty to choose from on the food menu, from fajitas and chili to a mezze platter. The drink menu was exciting to peruse, as they have a martini list (I.e. espresso, dirty, etc.), an alcoholic iced tea list and some strong and flavourful margaritas! Taste: We enjoyed everything we had, including the bowl of chili, the chicken and steak tacos and the pear, blue cheese and walnut salad. Fav's were the spicy chili and cucumber margaritas. Also, pleasantly surprised by the dark chocolate semifreddo with crushed almonds and chocolate drizzle. The Vibe and Service: It's a bright and vibrant place, awesome for a Fri or Sat night. The guy that served us was on point. Drinks came out in a flash and food quickly, as well.

GOOD TO KNOW - they don't accept card, which still surprises me in this day and age. They also stop serving their alcoholic tea drinks after a certain time, we were told.

If you are an western expat in Asia this is the water hole you have been looking for. Both lazy Sunday belly tickling food choices with the needed sour kicks expectecd from great mexican food. So you still can pretend not to have wasted your shape completely. Ingredients are fresh, hands down. For me it could do more on the spicy side, but I am spoiled on this one.This is what years of south East Asia do to you I guess.

The cocktail offers are just great. And if you are a little more trained it gives you the expected smack if you add up a few shots to the pitchers. If you won't add it's a good portion to bring your loved one...

The price is super decently low considering where you get what here. Well chosen and managed staff don't forget the tipsy tip box please appreciate what this place offers as a package.

Thumbs up if you agree and didn't regret your choice....

Always wanted to visit this cafe… finally went with my 2 friends, we ordered the grilled chicken & black beans burritos and chicken kebab follow by dessert called ice cream sandwich(homemade). Highly recommend the chicken burritos as its taste is purely delicious and fulfilling. Chicken kebab portion is quite generous, the smashed potatoes and salad compliment the kebab very well. 3 of us shared 2 dishes & one dessert. The ice cream is worth to try & goes well with the latte as latte is little bitter to compliment the sweetness of the caramel cookies. I think it’s worth the money for a decent Mexican food in KK city area. We went there for late lunch around 1pm, only 2 tables of customers. Food came about 10min after we ordered. The waiter is very friendly to recommend their signature dishes. The place is airy in the afternoon too. Will definitely go...
