No complain about the food but also nothing to rave about either. It is cheap and the margaritas are OK, but the best thing about this restaurant is the people who work there...or maybe own it, I'm not sure. They are always very friendly which makes going there a pleasure for a place with good food at very cheap prices.... More

Decent Mexican food for northern Thailand! A burrito tastes so good when you haven't had one in months. The margaritas were watery though. More

After 91 straight days of Thai food, vegetables, and salads, I stopped in for a chicken burrito at El Diablo's last night and wasn't completely disappointed. Although a pretty small place, it's interestingly decorated and one definitely gets the impression that whoever runs the place has a few issues with Authority and The Man, not to mention the Burmese government....

This is my go to Mexican place in Chiang Mai. I always get the burritos, which are huge (I have never left there hungry). You also get free homemade chips and salsa which are awesome. I will admit it may not be the most "authentic" Mexican I have ever tried, but you are in Thailand and can't get too picky.... More

Just left the restaurant and I would like to say how much I enjoyed the meal. My fiance and I had the beef enchiladas and chicken burrito. Both were absolutely tasty and big and good portions. You also get free chips which are homemade when you enter. Super fast friendly service. More

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, though I couldn't even attempt to finish it as the portions are huge. When you arrive, you are given delicious homemade tortilla chips, pickled vegetables and yummy salsa. I ordered one of the specials and was not disappointed. The staff are incredibly friendly and the owner is a human rights activist dedicated to improving the... More

The salsa is not very good, and the chips was hard. We ordered beef nachos and it was not quite satisfactory. Nice decor though, showing the freedom movement in Myanmar. More

Really great Mexican food but somewhat pricey. Very small place so it does get crowded. More
