Manaw Taqueria

Somewhat disappointed with a recent delivery order. The 100 baht Veggie Burritos (added cheese) are small in size and squashed flat. There’s not a lot of love or attention goes into the making or the presentation. Basic ingredients leave the whole thing somewhat lacking. A nice tomato salsa or even a little bit of salad, would make a bit of difference.

As there are options to add meat, a vegetarian option that isn’t simply cheese would be a welcome addition.

Ordering an 80 baht bag of ‘chips y salsa’ left me a little deflated. A miserly portion of chips with a very thin green sauce, the same as accompanied the burrito, but far from reminiscent of a nice zingy tomato salsa.

The price would not seem unreasonable for a good meal, however the reality shows the price is very high and not in line with the quality. Overall underwhelming when I had real hopes.

(I would like to have shared this directly with the restaurant as opposed to a public review as feedback is important - however I’m not on social media and cannot see any contact details).

We stayed in Hua Hin for only a week, and we ended up eating here twice because we liked it so much! The taco menu was extensive and delicious, with everything except the corn chips being hand made (including the tortillas).

I highly recommend the Horchata Cold Brew coffee and pretty much any taco plate. The nacho plate was huge and could easily feed two people.

Plenty of covered seating available, even in the rain, but parking can be a bit difficult.

The food was delicious and good value for what you pay. The place has a very nice Mexican vibe. When i visited in the daytime was a tad dark inside and you could hear an echo because it's a big place but probably in the evening and it's full of people has a different feeling. The pickles on side, the roasted chilli and the delicious signature sauces were a very nice surprise. The They are trying to accommodate everyone so if you don't specify to have your soft tortilla wraps a bit more done they will come a tiny bit uncooked at least for my taste. Overall i enjoyed it and will come again. PS.. The shop is next door to the pizza place.. Google Maps shows it about 100m further down the road. Enjoy!

Absolutely amazing food! Great range and very well presented. Good value. Suitable for children - many items not spicy or made to order (ask for mild). Great staff. English speaking. All around great experience. Will definitely go again.

Cool little spot a little bit outside the town center, but easy to get to if you're driving, and well worth the effort and price of a taxi otherwise. The menu is relatively limited yet has a good variety of authentic "street tacos" served on homemade tortillas, which is very rare in Thailand. The salsas were also awesome. Margaritas aren't the strongest but still a great value at 80 baht for "Mexican style spirits" or 140 baht for real Tequila, and I imagine you can add some shots for a very fair price. The owner said he is pricing everything in accordance with similar-sized Thai dishes; for example, one taco is 40 baht, which is about the same price and portion of meat you would get in a typical Kra Pow, and 130 baht for a value meal, which is similar to what you'd pay for a Tom Yum, etc. My only "complaint" (suggestion) would be that, while I like the casual feel of the fast food style concept, I didn't feel good about all the plastic waste we generated from the meal; perhaps the simplicity could be preserved while also finding a more sustainable way of serving those goodies. In any case, this place is a big WIN and I'll definitely drop by next time and every time in Hua Hin.

If you are living in Thailand or just visiting you may have discovered how difficult it can be to find a good taco. If you are in Hua Hin and finding yourself craving tacos you should give Manaw Taqueria a try.

They have a variety of fillings to choose from, we chose Chorizo and Carnitas, we also ordered Nachos.

Everything was good, the service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We are looking forward to visiting again and trying some of the other ingredients.

I do have a suggestion for the restaurant concerning the Nachos, maybe a little more cheese and serve them on something more substantial. The paper plate with the paper cover were difficult to eat from, the nachos stick to the paper and the whole thing slides around. A heavy plate would solve this.

The Tacos here are amazing. I have lived in Phoenix Arizona my whole life and traveled to Mexico over 50 times, so I have pretty high standards for Mexican food and street tacos, and I was very impressed. If you are near HuaHin and even remotely like Mexican food, or want to try it for the first, stop in here.
