Hidden on Soi Sukhumvit 23 is the new Mexican eatery Tortilla Quemada, which promises comida Mexicana that will make you scream, “Me gusta!”
This eatery is run by Colin Stevens, the same restaurateur behind BBQ joint Ash Kickers on Soi Phatthanakan 30. The American chef, who’s logged in 20 years of experience in the Bangkok food scene, has a strong passion and affection for Mexican food, and wanted to share this passion with the rest of the city.
Unlike Ash Kickers, where you can sit down and relish the food and good convos, Tortilla Quemada is stylized for a grab-and-go system. The menu includes a wide range of Mexican staples, from quesadillas (B190 to 240), to enchiladas (B220 to 290), to tacos (from B110), to chips and guacamole (B180).
Each dish can be had with any of their nine homemade salsas, each one representing a certain degree of spiciness. Our pick is the burning hot habanero salsa, which adds a banging zing to tortillas and tacos. Each dish can also be made with the meat of your choice, be it chicken, lamb, pork or beef.
Tortilla Quemada will be expanding its space for dine-in experiences very soon but, for now, call them at 06 5237 3307 or visit their Facebook page to make an order. Tortilla Quemada is open from Tuesdays to Sunday, 11:00 to 21:00.
