Cactus

A taco truck doing the rounds.

Bangkok's Mexican food scene is flourishing. On top of all the recent brick-and-mortar openings, there's now a new taco truck doing the rounds.

Cactus is co-owned by a Le Cordon Bleu graduate, who's based his specialty tacos on traditional Mexican recipes.

The truck's offerings include the special flour tortilla chips with salsa (B60) or guacamole (B100), tacos (two per serving) with fillings like chicken tinga (B160), al pastor (pork, B180), shredded beef (B200) and the vegetarian cocoa bean, corn and zucchini (B150). Or opt for the trio option (one each of chicken, pork and beef) at B300.

We're impressed not only with the flour and corn tortilla, made in-house from scratch, but also the salsas ranging from sweet-and-sour pineapple to hot and smoky.

Currently parked mainly on Suan Phlu Soi 8 from 6:30pm, the truck is also a regular at Silom Soi 8's newly-opene Whiteline bar and gallery every Friday and is will soon join some farmers' markets. Exact locations are updated on its Facebook.
