This venue is a great, covered outdoor area for meals. It was quite busy but we were lucky enough to get a table. The food was lovely with good size portions.

While the food at this Mexican restaurant is undeniably awesome and great, the service is unfortunately the worst I've experienced due to the lazy waiters. The dishes were delicious and authentic, with a great variety of flavors and seasonings. However, the waiters seemed uninterested in...providing good service, and were slow to take orders and bring out food. Despite the subpar service, the food is definitely worth trying if you're willing to be patient.More

Surprisingly good potato skins and chicken wings. Soft tacos are good. The menus need to be thrown away as they are old and tattered. New menus would do a world of good for this place. Bonus: friendly cats are part of the staff.

It was Tuesday, so naturally I thought tacos. Drove 20 minutes from the west side of the island to the north side. Great shrimp tacos, excellent guacamole.

They recently added a baked oysters Rockefeller which is fantastic! The old standbys such as the hot fajitas are as awesome as ever. Like so many other restaurants after Covid there is a shortage of staff but the limited staff they have works really hard...and does a great job. I do have to report that the hamburgers used to be really good - it was actually two full patties which have been dramatically downsized obviously because of the recent huge inflation so I would skip that for now.More

We recently moved to Phuket and some friends who had been here a while invited us for dinner at Sala Mexicali. We enjoyed our chips with three different types of dips (the mango one is the bomb). My wife and I shared the 2 chimichanga...plate and they were surprisingly good. We weren't sure how Tex-Mex food would be handled in Thailand but they did a great job. The entire meal was not too pricey, for four people coming in at about $33 USD. This place is not too far from our condo so I'm sure we'll be returning for some comfort food.More

First things first, the food is very good here and we have visited the restaurant on numerous occasions over the years because of that. However, in November 2021 and during our most recent visit, the service has been disappointing. This is not due to a...lack of effort from the staff but effectively their is one waitress attempting to deal with the orders of the entire restaurant. One member of staff prepares drinks orders at the bar and another brings food out of the kitchen. The waitress is running around between all three and all the tables and then taking food orders into the kitchen. Understandably, as the restaurant fills up the service declines, time to get a drink, food and the bill are all extended. This is NOT the fault of the staff who desperately needs another waitress as support and a better ordering system. So come on Sali Mexicali, the restaurant, food and drink are all great but service and overall experience suffers because staff are run off their feet.More

We have visited Sala Mexicali multiple times during our 1 month Thailand visit. The food is great, prices are not expensive and staff is friendly. We came here with a toddler and the staff gave her extra attention and were great in general. I highly...recommend if you want to eat some mexican food during your trip to ThailandMore

Great gluten free meal! They were very helpful over fb answering questions and said we could request new oil or pan fried chips to prevent cross contamination. My daughter has celiac and enjoyed the fajitas with corn tortillas- excellent pico and guacamole too!
