    Had a very good and interesting meal. No margaritas but good gin and soda. The best thing was an appetizer that was like a pork sandwich with crispy cornmeal buns. Very unique and a lovely surprise.

    Amazing find. It was dead there when we arrived with absolutely not a soul inside and there’s no onsite toilet (have to walk out to some backyard nearby) but boy does the food taste good. It’s a fusion of Mexican food with a Thai twist. We ordered 4 dishes to share between 2 people and that was just right. The chef/owner is very friendly and very professional. It was the best service we received in Koh Samui

    I ordered here via Grab and the food was really disappointing. The size of the dishes was very small. I ordered 3 dishes to be sure and it was still not enough to fill me. Especially the Taco was a joke for 100 Baht. In total I didn't feel to get worth for the money. The prices are okay from an absolute perspective, but I would expect bigger portions and better quality. The taste was okay, but nothing special. The mushroom quesadillas contained a lot of capsicum, which was not really fitting. Spices missing, it was mostly cheese and fat. The bread also got really slobbery. I love Mexican food normally, but there's a lot to improve here!

    If you feel tired of Thai food come to this place. The closes you can get to Mexican food on Koh Samui.

    Delicious food and mojitos! We tried the mushroom quesadillas, fish tacos tapas, & the salmon crispy sushi. All the dishes were super flavourful and very different from one another. It’s a little bit pricier for the portion sizes but it was worth it!

    Our favourite meal in koh samui (and I love Thai food). Perfect mix of Mexican food and Asian flavours. Really good corn tortillas, super fresh ingredients, and awesome service - all for a fair price. Can't recommend enough.

    It was great getting to eat some Latin food to mix things up! We loved the shrimp tacos and mushroom quesadilla, both which were made with homemade corn tortillas. Excellent service.

    Good tacos, very friendly service

  • 5/5 Jose B. 2 years ago on Google
    Small, cozy, good Latin music and the food was amazing. Order more than 1 plate because it’s small portions, great for sharing. Definitely best food in Samui.

  • 2/5 Инна �. 1 year ago on Google
    The food looks Mexican. But in fact it's something else. Most likely, the recipe was simply adapted for Thailand. Quesadilla dough - it looks more like dough for roti or pancakes. I do not advise it if you are going for Mexican food.

    Excellent tacos! Really friendly service, very welcoming. Had a good chat with the waiter/chef. Would recommend the isleno coffee.

  • 5/5 Toni D. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food from several countries, very original and tasty. My favorite are the tacos, sushi, salmon and yucas bravas. Definitely to repeat and try more things. A must see in Samui

  • 5/5 Judith F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great burritos and fusión tapas, latín music and cozy place. Ill back to try the home made tacos

  • 4/5 Carolina S. 3 months ago on Google New
    The food is totally delicious and they have vegetarian options! But the prices are a bit high for the size of the portions. We ended up spending 300-350 B per person.

  • 5/5 Adam P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely phenomenal service and food. The chef was operating a one man show and he definitely showed up. Every dish was an experience on the tastebuds and enjoyable to eat. The arepas were a favorite of our table and the quail egg Thai basil appetizers were refreshing and unique. 100% recommend.

  • 5/5 chelsea z. 1 year ago on Google
    Easily one of the best meals we had in Thailand! Truly unique Thai-Mexican fusion menu with super fresh dishes. This place is such a gem, cannot recommend it enough. We’ll be coming back to Isleno Samui ASAP!

  • 5/5 ELI L. 2 years ago on Google
    We’ve got good food here. Really happy with it . They remove cheese from every dish and made it vegan for us. Highly recommend for vegans.

    Great Fusion Kitchen! We were the only guests, we don‘t know why. But the food was really great! Nice and clean restaurant.
