    Shocking service - the waitress with the braces is so rude and argumentative the older lady grabbed my hand when I complained about the food and not paying for my dish. Waited 15 minutes to be even served for drinks, waited 25 minutes for one cocktail and 4 soft drinks, another 35 minutes to be served cold food TWICE!! Third time was luke warm, and I was hungry so eat a small portion and left the rest.once the bill arrived I said I was no way paying for my part of the bill, I came with aggression and threats of calling the police. Disgusting service, average bland food. I have lived in Phuket for 3 years and I will tell everyone I meet to avoid this place like the plague. Teach your staff manners and get a decent chef.

    First time eating Mexican food in Thailand. I was pleasantly surprised. I will come back and try more items on the menu. Google Maps somehow has the wrong location for the restaurant. It's actually 30 meters north.

    Okay, that’s the best place for eating Mexican food. Tacos, burritos, fajita are really tasty! Wonderful place, where you can be sure, that you will not be hungry! Totally recommend!

  • 5/5 Ovidiu M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tasting food. Large portions. Good price. I’ve added pics of filet mignon, fajitas and a small quesadilla. Love the steak and quesadilla especially

  • 5/5 robby t. 1 year ago on Google
    Small little trendy looking decor nice and relaxing if you can get a seat inside all relaxing but nice seating inside I like to give honest reviews so I will start here very polite friendly staff for the quality and amount it's a bargain filet minion fajita Hot plate is amazing and tender I highly recommend mango salsa is on point great drinks I seriously came back the next day when it's good it's good just be patient because they are human and get busy and seriously bust tables in bare feet it is Thailand and that is there culture and I respect that but you will not be disappointed once again don't be impatient and I promise you that you will very much enjoy the meal and that check at the end couldn't believe how low the bill was it's just a win win in my opinion highly recommended enjoy

  • 5/5 Michele M. 11 months ago on Google
    Fabulous salads, Mexican food (hard shell beef tacos are to die for), pizza, burgers & fries. The selection of margaritas is a real plus & good local beer & wine. The menu has a lot of great food. Highly recommend this dining experience. Thank you for the superior service during May 2023.

  • 2/5 Justin H. 10 months ago on Google
    This place needs to do more to tell families to control their kids. There was a family sitting out side and the kids from that family were running in and out of the restaurant using both doors. At one point they almost ran into me as I was getting up. I looked at staff and they were laughing like it is funny. Establisments in general need to say something because why should one family that has kids and refuse to be parents be allowed to ruin another groups experience. Second time this has happened where staff do nothing. Lucky for them the bill was paid otherwise I would have left and not paid. They can get the family of the bratty kids to pay. Food is good prices are great but if it happens again we will not be back.

    Would l return? Not in this life time or the next. Food quality is poor, service is abysmal however the cost would make you think you were at Gordon Ramsay's!

  • 5/5 remi m. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommand the tuna salad and also the potatoes skin. They are a bit slow to cook so i often prefer to give a call before to come to book my food. Every dishes are excellent (Burritos, quesadilla, nachos...).

  • 5/5 Jade T. 4 months ago on Google
    We ordered the fajitas and it was a very generous portion! Next time I think we will order just one and share! Very good value though!

  • 5/5 Yanina T. 8 months ago on Google
    Delicious as always! One of the best restaurants in Phuket! We visit often and will definitely be back! My kids love it!

  • 5/5 nelson 4. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent taste and vegetarian options. Very nutritional and tasty salads and healthy food.

  • 4/5 Tom J. 4 months ago on Google
    Maybe shouldn't rate a restaurant based on what I ate but here are my comments. Ordered only a passion fruit marargaritta and a large portion of guacamole and corn chips. Margarita was good. However, guacamole was disappointing. It must have been pre-made and frozen as the texture was mushy and flavourless. No taste of lime or any chilli. Corn chips were warm, flaky and too oily for my liking. Packet corn chips better texture and flavour. Better things to explore on the menu than my choice. If you're a guacamole lover, then maybe this is not something to choose here.

    My favourite Mexican restaurant in phuket, the food is just as amazing as the one in Rawai. This one’s got air conditioning though good for lunch, Rawai branch is nicer for dinner. My personal favourites: - buffalo wings - fish tacos - beef quesadillas Oh and the Margaritas!!!

    Sala Mexicali in Chalong is a Mexican culinary haven that leaves a lasting impression. Their thick tacos are a revelation, boasting flavors that transport your taste buds straight to Mexico. The generous fillings and fresh ingredients make each bite a delightful experience. But the real surprise at Sala Mexicali is their extensive tequila menu. With a whopping five pages dedicated solely to tequila, this place is a paradise for tequila enthusiasts. From smooth blanco to aged añejo, they have it all, making it the perfect spot for tequila aficionados to explore and savor. The ambiance at Sala Mexicali is vibrant and lively, enhancing the overall dining experience. The attentive staff ensures that you feel welcome and informed about the menu. In a world of Mexican cuisine, Sala Mexicali stands out not only for its delectable tacos but also for its tequila selection that's second to none. Whether you're a fan of traditional Mexican fare or looking to expand your tequila horizons, this restaurant in Chalong should be at the top of your list. It's a flavorful journey that's hard to forget.

    Amazing food. That was superb and portions fairly large. We ordered 1 nachos sampler (amazing), 1 taco salad bowl and seared tuna blew our mind.

  • 5/5 Point Z. 2 years ago on Google
    For the best Mexican food on the Island of Phuket this is the place to be.

  • 5/5 Jazzy V. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 nika s. 5 years ago on Google
    Went there with my parents and brother. Food was delicious, haven't had Mexican food in ages, worth the penny. My favorite was the mango, banana, avocado salad. The crispy potatoes skin is a must try too.

  • 5/5 Сергей �. 1 year ago on Google
    Always enjoy coming to Sala Mexicai. Decent food, always good quality and especially the buffalo wings, an absolute must try for everyone. The one "for sure" place for me in Chalong/Rawai.

  • 5/5 Nathaphong P. 2 years ago on Google
    Original taste of Mexican food. Barbeque grill is the best.

    Best Mexican food you can get in Phuket. They make with with all their heart and it is visible. Must visit of you are looking for a Mexican cuisine

  • 5/5 Kaviraj N. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here after googling for recommended food places near us. No regrets! By far, one of the best Mexican food I have tasted. We had the buffalo wings, quesadillas, burritos and grilled chicken. Really good stuff! Portions are good especially for the price paid. Friendly and accomodating staff. Truly a gem in Phuket. Only regret is not finding this place any earlier.

  • 5/5 Denise K. 2 years ago on Google
