Sunrise Tacos is the only Mexican restaurant in Bangkok that currently makes their flour tortillas daily from scratch. They also grind the highest quality corn; imported from the USA, into their own secret recipe for some of the best corn tortillas in all of Asia. Even the jalapeños used are pickled onsite. Couple this with their competitive price point, man-sized portions, customized menu and attention to detail, and it becomes easy to see why Sunrise Tacos is a hit with so many people.

When you walk into the doors of the main branch of Sunrise Tacos, you are immediately greeted with a bright and colorful décor and festive “Mexican” music. It is rather cozy and LCD TV screens are always tuned to the international sports channels. Sunrise Tacos prides itself on being one of the few restaurants in Bangkok to show American football games. The restaurant also has a “salsa bar” which features unlimited access to their signature salsas which are made fresh everyday. Choose from Pico de Gallo, Thick and Chunky, Fresh Tomatillo, Sunrise Salsa, Roasted Jalapeño, Mango Salsa, Lalos Hot & Sweet, Mucho Pineapple Salsa, John’s Hot and John’s Super Hot. Customers are invited to “have it your way” and can customize the tacos and burritos to their personal preferences; and the portions are generous beyond belief. Do you want your taco soft, or crunchy, corn or flour, or perhaps a combination of both? What about your burrito? Do you prefer it grilled, ranchero, or deep fried chimichanga style? Do you want it big, or really big (giant size)? With more than 9 different meat and vegetable fillings to choose from; the options can seem limitless.

A must try dish is the Grande Nachos Supreme; which is large enough to feed a small army. It is a mountain of crispy chips that is loaded up with ground beef or grilled chicken, smothered in homemade nacho cheese sauce, Monterey Jack, Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese. It is then topped off with pico de gallo, black beans, cilantro, chopped onions and sour cream. You don’t have to worry about these nachos turning into a soggy mess, as the deep fried corn chips defy all expectations and remain crispy until the very last bite.

The Guacamole is a marvel. There are no fillers here, just creamy avocado, fresh tomato and lime. The Baja Fish Tacos are scrumptious as they are made from tender chunks of deep fried, beer battered snapper, served with a bit of crunchy raw cabbage, a tangy cream sauce and then wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Don’t forget to try one of Sunrise Tacos’ signature Margaritas made from fresh squeezed lime juice and top shelf tequila. They also offer homemade Sangria which is delightful and a perfect accompaniment to all the spicy food. Diners are encouraged to save room for dessert; as Sunrise Tacos has some of the best made-from-scratch pies which can be purchased whole or by the slice. The creamy smooth Key Lime Pie has an almost frozen custard-like texture that is truly unique and quite possibly addictive. Other favorites include their fabulous Pumpkin Pie, the decadent Pecan Pie, and the tangy Cherry Pie made with frozen cherries instead of that sugary stuff from a can.

The main branch of Sunrise Tacos is always packed with people; which is testimony to the popularity of their food. They are also famous for their use of fresh ingredients and their policy of making almost everything from scratch. Sunrise Tacos additionally offers a kids menu and a full breakfast menu.
