A REAL Mexican Restaurant in Pattaya Thailand!

Colorado is very close to borders New Mexico and Mexico

I didn't think Colorado is any where close to Mexico.

You need to go look at the map. In a straight line south, it is Colorado then New Mexico, then Texas and then Mexico. Mexicans fleeing from their homeland usually travel right up north and settle down in Colorado, Arizona, California although some go further.

Part of the problem with trying to prepare ethnic dishes outside of their region is the quality of the ingredients are just not the same.

There are several Thai dishes that I really enjoy when visiting Pattaya. I have tried them at Thai restaurants in my home area and they are just not the same. At home, even though they are being prepared by Thai immigrants (even gave me a chance to try my embarrassingly bad Thai language skills for a bit) in Mom and Pop stores, the chilis do not have the same flavor, the basil is different, and so on.

I am sure the same is true for other ethnic dishes being served up in Thailand. It doesn't mean they are bad, and obviously they are being enjoyed by some.

I tend to think the whole concept of "authenticity" is a bit odd. Dishes constantly morph due to many influences and regional variations abound.

I am much more of the notion "if it tastes good, eat it".

Oh come on..stop being so reasonable.

:sign5:
My apologies. Don't know what I was thinking. :laughing3:

But damn I miss good Thai food !

I think you are totally correct Annone. Different areas have diffent flavrs and prepare things differently. There is a considerable difference between Pattaya and Issan. So why not a diffence between Thailand and USA? Ingredients are hard to aquire and you just have to go with the best you like and what you feel is good.

BS. There is no excuse, no excuse at all to do poor Mexican food in Thailand.
Bangkok has a number of Mexican places that have real Mexican flavor.
Most of all of the needed ingredients are available in Thailand.
And salsa, don't get me started. Is there even one Mexican place in Pattaya that does proper salsas?
That monkey place. It was also total crap.

OK Namakrak, every place is shit and they all have the stuff to make good Mexican food and SALSA but choose not to. Calm down before you put yourself in the hospital with this.

They serve that crap because so many of you are willing to buy their crap.
All I am saying is that other places mostly in Bangkok have proven for years now you can produce much better Mexican in THAILAND than is offered anywhere in Pattaya. So don't make excuses for them serving such crappy food.
I am serious that I'd like to see all the Mexican places in Pattaya go out of business. Then nobody would dare to serve such a low standard Mexican food here and some smart person might realize they can do as well as the better Bangkok places, and then we could finally get at least one half decent place for Mex food in town. As long a these lazy fakers are "good enough" then there is little hope.

Well I have looked at a map for you all. (Google Earth).
And a direct line from the nearest point of Colorado to Mexico is 361.67 miles. And thats from the Colorado State Border to the Mexican Border only!
However, there are no roads showing there so by road the shortest route from the State of Colorado (not Colorado town) to Mexico is actually 467.35 miles.
Yeh "very close"...

I wouldn't argue facts about Colorado with Justme, if I were you.
