EL Latino — Restaurant in Phan Thiết City

Awesome Mexican food!! I come from California United States so I know real Mexican food and this is some of the best I’ve had in the United States or anywhere!! I have been in Vietnam for almost a month traveling from Hanoi to ho Chi Minh city and every town I come to I look for Mexican food and have been let down by the past two places I found in Vietnam but this is the real deal good stuff! So nice to have some taste from home after eating so much Vietnamese food. I read some reviews on here about being expensive and I don’t see how that is and you also have to think these ingredients aren’t common here and cost a lot more in Vietnam then they do in Mexico or United States. Still about a third of the price of the United States and just as good if not way better!!!! If you don’t give this place a try you’re really missing out on some great food! Great drinks, food and...

He said, “Would you like something to eat? We can’t let you go hungry.” Fortunately, I was able to transfer money from my bank app, but I will never forget the gesture. If you’re ever in Mui Ne and feel like eating good Mexican food and being around even better people, check out...

OK Mexican food. Go for the offers, that way you can get a fajita/quesadilla with a cocktail for less than the actual dish costs. We had the chicken-beef fajita where you had to fill your tortilla. It came with 4 tortillas, but the filling was way too little to fill 4 tortillas. I'd say, the guacamole, cheese, lettuce were enough for 1.5 tortillas, while the meat maybe for 2. The served tomato tasted a bit old. The other dish we ordered was quesadilla with chilli con carne. It tasted good, but quite modest portion. The rum with mango cocktails were made of real mango, that part was great, but the rum didn't taste like the highest quality. The fajita with the cocktail cost 140.000 VND and the quesadilla combo was...
