From LA to BKK: How Cholos is Redefining Mexican Food in Bangkok—One Taco at a Time

If you’ve ever craved a legit carne asada taco while wandering the buzzing streets of Bangkok, you’re not alone—and that craving is exactly what led to the birth of Cholos. 

Born in the heart of Los Angeles and raised on the vibrant flavors of Mexican street food, Cholos brings the soul of LA to the streets of Bangkok with bold, unapologetically authentic Mexican food. Our mission? To make “mexican food in bkk” not just good—but unforgettable. 

The LA-Bangkok Connection 

The story of Cholos begins with two food-lovers: Chef Radek and Ratish. Both spent years immersed in LA’s food scene, where Mexican flavors are not just food—they’re a lifestyle. After moving to Thailand and realizing how rare it was to find truly authentic Mexican food in Bangkok, they knew something had to change. 

And so, Cholos was born—a food truck (and now restaurant) driven by a love of street food, spice, and cultural connection. 

What Makes Cholos So Different? 

1. Real Mexican Flavors 

   No shortcuts. No fusion gimmicks. Just real-deal Mexican food in Bangkok made with quality ingredients, many of which are imported straight from Mexico. That includes spices, chilies, and masa flour—because taste matters. 

   
   

2. Street Food with Soul

    Our roots are in the streets, and we honor that. Whether you’re grabbing tacos at the food truck or sitting down at the restaurant, you’re getting food that’s fast, flavorful, and full of heart. 

   
   

3. Signature Dishes You’ll Come Back For

   People don’t just come to Cholos for tacos—they come for what’s inside them. Favorites like our Baja fish tacos, Pork Birria, and Quesabirria are already becoming local legends. And don’t even get us started on the churros.
