Mexicano Restaurante Autentico
19 Sukhumvit Soi 18, Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
Lead with the rib-eye tacos and the homemade guacamole, then build the table from there. The Saturday Pool Brunch is the version of this room to know about, because the free-flow margaritas pair properly with the fajita and ceviche order. Built for groups who want a real meal rather than a snack between drinks.
You take the lift to the 4th floor of the Rembrandt Hotel, step out by the pool, and the room opens into the brightest dining space on Sukhumvit Soi 18. Mexicano has been here for over two decades. The kitchen is led by a Mexican chef working from family recipes, which is the reason the menu still reads as proper regional cooking rather than a hotel approximation.
Start with the homemade guacamole and the ceviche. The taco section anchors the rest of the menu: rib-eye beef, classic carnitas, and the build-your-own format for groups who want to share. Quesadillas, enchiladas, and fajitas are all here, plated for the table.
The drinks list runs on tequila. Classic margaritas and palomas, a spicy jalapeño variant for the chili crowd, sangrias for the group that wants a pitcher. Saturday Pool Brunch turns the poolside into a free-flow margarita session with a live DJ, which is the version of Mexicano most regulars come for.
Mexicano holds a Tatler Best Restaurant Award from 2017 and a Bangkok Best Restaurant Award three years running from 2016 to 2018. Those credentials are useful context, not the whole story. The room earns its review count because the food shows up consistently, week after week, year after year.
Open daily 12:00 to 23:00 with last orders at 22:30. Walk in from Asok BTS in about ten minutes, or grab a Grab to the Rembrandt entrance and take the lift straight up. Bring at least three people if you want to order properly across the menu.
