Cactus

The setup: Bangkok’s first modern Mexican food truck offers freshly made tacos and burritos crammed with slow-cooked meats and fresh ingredients sourced from local markets. Regularly parked in the evenings in the Sathorn area (check their facebook page for details) and a regular fixture at the city’s hippest events, Cactus has become well-known for its modern spin on Mexican classics. Encouraged by the surge in popularity, its owners now plan to open their own restaurant. Watch this space.

Signature dishes: Cactus offers a choice of two corn or flour homemade tortillas (soft) with a choice of meat (or vegetarian), salsa, cabbage and cheese. Chicken is B180; Pork is B200; and Beef is B220. Alternatively choose the Trio – one taco filled with all three meat options (B320). For burritos, the price ranges from B240 for chicken to B270 for beef. You can also enjoy all the ingredients ‘Naked’ – without the tortillas and served in a bowl – starting at B220.

It’s a deal: Keep your eyes peeled for Cactus’ new Sunday Sessions events, which feature craft beers, live DJs, a cool crowd, and, of course,  a chance to feast on tacos and burritos. Follow Cactus on facebook for updates.
