Salsa Kitchen Ruamchok / Chiang Mai : Just as good as their more popular location

Weeks ago I determined to try every single Mexican or Tex-Mex establishment in all of Chiang Mai. At first I thought this would be an easy task but just when I think I have gone to all of them, I find another one. I guess that is one of the benefits of living in an area with more than a million residents. As always I go to these establishments blind and order more or less the same thing so I can compare tacos to tacos. It wouldn't be fair otherwise. I never read any reviews before attending and sometimes the establishments don't even exist anymore. Thankfully, this one did.

What happens when a place opens at 3 and you arrive at 3:15 pm? You end up being the only person in the restaurant because most people have normal-person jobs. That was the case with me and I am perfectly ok with it. I dine alone a lot and I am not one of the people that this bothers.

I knew I was going to get some sort of tacos here but I already knew about the fact that this particular chain (it's not really a chain in that they only have 2 locations) makes their own shells and in my opinion they are too wide. If you have to involved cutlery, it isn't a taco in my opinion.

This is what i ordered, and I wasn't even that hungry when I got there. It was immense and lets just say that even though I love Mexican food and this was done perfectly, I struggled to finish it. It was a challenge and i stepped up to it and yes, I did in fact finish it all.

They have an amazing menu and I suppose I would classify this place as mid-range as far as price is concerned. This massive lunch set me back around 250 Baht or around $8 US. That is a lot more than what most Thai people would spend on lunch and seeing as how a quick meal at a roadside restaurant or some noodles is $1-2, I suppose it is expensive. However, the amount of care that went into the creation of this absolutely divine lunch, while it is a bit out of my normal price range, is something that I would definitely return to.
