Centrico Mexican Restaurant Samui HALAL — Restaurant in Ko Samui

I went with my family as it was recommended to me by my brother who had visited a few years back. The staff and host who welcomed us in were very polite and nice. It was around 6pm when we arrived for an early dinner, so the place was basically empty. We ordered the burrito and quesadilla, both chicken options. As well as a dish and chips for the kids. The food was good and met the Mexican cuisine expectations. However, I felt that there were missing elements such as the burrito didn't have rice in it, which was a bit odd. But because it could be overlooked as the rest of the ingredients were great. The fish and chips were great too, as the kids enjoyed it. While we were there, it started to rain, and the view by the beach is amazing to say the least. We really enjoyed having food and by the beach with the cold breeze blowing towards us with sprinkles of rain. They also had an upset deck with a nicer view of the entire island.

Double Charged, No Accountability

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was okay, and some staff were friendly, but I encountered a serious issue with their payment system. Due to a technical problem (the paper got stuck in the machine), my bank had already processed the payment, and it was clearly showing on their POS system. Still, I was asked to pay again—and I did. Shockingly, they then asked me to pay a third time.

I explained that I had already been charged twice, but the owner dismissed my concerns, saying, “I’m not the owner of the bank,” and told me to contact my bank myself. There was no apology, no refund, and no responsibility taken. In the end, I was charged double the amount, including an extra 100 baht tip, and left feeling disrespected and upset.

Whether it was a communication breakdown or a matter of honesty, it left a terrible impression. If a business can mishandle money like this, I’d hesitate to trust them with...
