Nothing beats a well-made taco, and Slanted Taco has been serving them up to hungry Bangkok denizens for years now. When you rock up to the restaurant, you’ll be immediately charmed by its laid-back Miami beach-side look, not to mention the heady aromas of intensely-spiced Mexican cuisine floating about.

The food here is authentic Mexican fare, so expect lots of beautifully braised meats, hearty beans, rice, and more than a helping of deliciously sweet corn tortillas. Settle down to a frosty Margarita and some appetizers, like a classic Chips & Guacamole that’s made to order so it’s bursting with the flavours of ripe avocados, tomatillos, and onions. Then take on some tacos. Take your pick of protein, like tender Roasted Chicken, fork-tender Pork Carnitas, or slices of grilled Beef Steak. Each one comes topped with its own accompanying blend of zesty herbs and spices.

It’s not just tacos here, the same meats come rolled up as massive Burritos, served with refried beans and Mexican rice, and if you’re feeling particularly indulgent, have you burrito deep fried to make it a Chimichanga. If you want to assemble your own wrap, get a Fajita, your choice of chicken or beef served on a sizzling pan, served with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese on the side. Do not leave without sampling some of the desserts. You’ll be bursting at this point, but the Sopapillas, little triangles of deep-fried pastry dusted with sugar and cinnamon, are exquisite. This is one of the city’s favourite Mexican joints, and for good reason: the food is hearty and authentic, the atmosphere convivial, and with Margaritas flowing like water, you’ll want to stay all night.

THE BUZZ

“a happening cantina vibe thanks to a corrugated iron-clad dining room complete with vibrant murals and a thumping Latino club soundtrack (and we mean thumping). Service, too, is as bright and bubbly as you’d hope for.” -BK Magazine
