Cholos Mexican Charoen Krung — Restaurant in Bang Rak Subdistrict

one of the best Mexican meals I’ve had in Bangkok. (5/5)

This place is really small. It actually felt even smaller than it looked in the photos. I was lucky to walk in without waiting, but depending on the time, I’d recommend booking ahead just to be safe.

The nachos!!!cCrispy, lightly salted, not greasy. I could’ve finished a whole bag on my own. We had them with guacamole, sour cream, and extra cheese sauce on the side, and it was the perfect combo. Even plain, the chips were amazing! super light, super snackable.

🌮 Baja Fish Tacos: recommended by the staff as their signature dish, and it didn’t disappoint. The sauce on the side was a total game-changer. 🌮 Chicken Tinga Tacos: No complaints. 🧀 Beef Birria Quesadillas: cheesy, comforting, and not overly heavy. So satisfying till the last bite. 🥪 Beef Birria Grilled Cheese: fluffy bread, juicy filling, and rich flavor without being greasy. One of the best grilled sandwiches I’ve had in a while. 🥗 Vegetarian Rice Bowl (with mushrooms): the only miss for me. We ordered the mushroom version. The entire bowl had a subtle smoky/burnt flavor. maybe intentional, but it didn’t really work for me. 👍 Bonus highlight: their sour cream. It’s not your usual tangy stuff. the texture was almost like Greek yogurt, and it paired beautifully with every dish. i really love it.

Everything (except the rice bowl, no offense😅) was seriously delicious. The flavors stayed balanced throughout, nothing overly salty, greasy, or overwhelming. Just consistently good food from start to finish....

So I’ve been trying a bunch of Mexican places trying to find a decent place here in Bangkok and beyond happy I finally did. I’m Mexican so I’m extra picky on my taste reviews but this place was really good! Had the soft taco beef birrias and the chips with trio salsa, the tacos are stuffed with a very generous amount of meat and the flavor is delicious. The tortilla chips have the right amount of saltiness, and the salsas the right amount of spiciness and tanginess. The pico de gallo salsa was probably my favorite. I seriously kept looking for a Mexican in the kitchen because whoever taught them to cook, did good. Wish they had more menu options just because of how good they cook I would love to see how they cook other dishes. Will try their other menu options next time.

Will definitely be coming back!

Walk in through building doors and to the right is the door to the second floor and entrance is to the left across from the bathroom door. They have outdoor seating on...

Would really recommend this spot! We walked in without reservation at 4pm on a Monday and it was no problem. I forgot to take photos before tucking in. We had chips and guac, quesadillas, a burrito and birria and fish tacos. I’m not sure why previous reviews said the portions were small, we found them huge. Especially the portion of chips and the burrito was huge. In my second photo you can see just one half of the burrito, the other half was already eaten! Maybe for a takeaway it’s smaller. The food was so tasty. The fish taco was quite strong but I forgot to ask what fish it was. It wasn’t bad, just a bit more on the fishy side than expected. The burrito and quesadilla were delicious. We sat upstairs on the balcony and the service was amazing. Staff were really friendly with good English. It was expensive for Thai standards but we got a lot of food! Would...
