Been here with friends to grab some chow whilst on this Paradise island. The long drive over the winding coastal road was worth the effort. Food tasted excellent and was served in style. Only minus was the amount of mosquitoes present, the ventilation provided did not keep them at bay and the lights inside are too dim to spot them.... More

After a morning hike along the beach and rocky coves, we sat ourselves down to enjoy a wonderful margarita (on ice) along with two excellent Mexican seafood dishes. The side spices allowed me to make my portion hotter than my hubby's. The owners were friendly and the space was delightful with a mini waterfall/pool, plants, and comfortable chairs. Pool table...

I ate at Barrio Bonito twice during my stay on Koh Chang. The food is delicious and the service is friendly. Even though the chilis are Thai chilis, the food is quite authentic and the roasted salsa is great. More

Were expecting to have a room ready after a long bicycle ride through the hills of Koh Chang. However when we arrived the room we had booked had been given to someone else. The owner was not there and after a phone call had the attitude of bad luck not my problem. We had to demand that he come to... More

This place is such a treat, really different from the same saaaame food you find on Koh Chang! The leafy environment is lovely, very chilled out, and service was great - the owner (who's Mexican) was really welcoming without being at all overbearing. It was quite hard to choose from the delicious-sounding menu and daily specials, but everything we ordered... More

Really good authentic Mexican food. Ran by a French / Mexican couple. I had stuffed jalapeños and the alambre; both really good, the kind of food that makes you sad when you finish it. More
