First time having their food, we are not disappointed. It is a good fusion between 2 flavorful and spicy cuisines. The menu is well representing of the name of the food truck, tacos, burrito, rice, pad see ew, etc. We had garlic shrimp with rice ($16), carne asada burritos ($14), and fried plantains ($8). Garlic shrimp with rice: good portion, half a dozen of good size shrimps. Everything is well done but lack of flavor. I actually had with the sauce from burritos (crushed chilly peppers, fish sauce, with lime) to add more flavor. Carne asada burritos: rice, grilled beef with Thai curry. It is a surprisingly nice twist. Plaintains: a twist on Thai fried bananas. The foodtruck peeps were nice and friendly. Food came out with good pace. We waited for about 10 minutes. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. The value is good for the portion (thumb up!) read more

I was intrigued by this cool food combination: Mexican and Thai! Anything fusion of these two great cuisines sparks my foodie interest! So we had to try their food at an event recently! No regrets! Hard to choose from street tacos, burritos, Teriaky bowls, plantains and so on. We settled on the 3 Amigos, 3 cool tacos: garlic shrimp, crispy pork belly and chicken satay peanut sauce, and chips and cool salsa-s, plus a few cucumbers to cool you off! $14 for this, a tad pricy but worth it. The food was delicious, the shrimp not spicy, the chicken satay full of flavor, the sauce was great and we loved the pork belly. Not health food, but delicious. I'd have these taco-s again in a heartbeat! We also tried their the Horchata, decent, not my favorite, it lacks cinammon, but OK overall. Next time I'd like to try their churros! Great customer service, they get your order fast and don't take forever to make the food for you! Nice people working here, kind and helpful! Cool food truck to try if you'll see it an event. Thai and Mexican? Two great tastes that taste even better together! read more

5 stars! The tortillas taste homemade. The long line up was definitely worth the wait. I like that you gave buzzer buttons to let us know when the food was ready! Extremely affordable food at the Beverly Hills art show. Remembered to take a photo while I was eating read more

Socal seems to be fixated on putting anything in a tortilla de maiz for a good reason. The lightly fermented corn scented, slightly chewy, round flat bread seems to go with almost anything. It's culinary genius by preColombian indigenous people in México. So Thai Mex Cocina utilizes Thai cuisine from tropical Southeast Asia that usually blends complex flavours of sweet, sour, piquant to put into their Taco. I ordered the Tres Amigos plate, but they had run out of the crispy pork belly. So I opted to get 2 grilled spicy garlic shrimp tacos & and one Saté chicken taco. To Thai Mex's credit the shrimp was not overcooked to make the meat hard & dry. In fact the shrimp was plump, with a snap & oceanic sweetness. Reddened w/ mild chile paste. Couldn't sense too much of a garlic presence. Garnished w/ crushed roasted peanuts, earthy, soapy, green herbal cilantro. The breast meat chicken was cooked in what seems to be a peanut butter tinged coconut milk red curry. Sweet w/ possible hints of tamarind, Nampla/Thai fish sauce, vinegar. Garnished w/ cilantro. Wedges of lime to add a citrus gastrique, sliced cucumber & red breakfast radish to refresh the palate were good accompaniments in between bites. Overall good tacos that incorporated nontraditional fillings from a cuisine half way across the world. My only concern was the price. $4 per taco is pretty pricey. The cost to value ratio is way off. For example, a cheaper way to go is to buy take out chicken saté for $9 & a dozen corn tortillas for $1. You can probably make about 5 tacos which translates to $20. Saving me $10 which I can put into a Roth IRA for a more comfortable retirement. The Tres Amigos is closer to 4 Yelp stars, but unfortunately the loss in bang for the bucks takes it down to 3+. However, the novelty of combining old world & new world is noteworthy. read more

The pad Thai was cool. Had better. Most flavorless burrito I have ever had. Stick to the Thai food

(Dined 10/05/19 SA @ 6:00pm): You had me at Thai and Mex! I recently enjoyed a viewing of "Psycho" during an Eat See Hear event at The Autry Museum Of The American West At Griffith Park when I was first introduced to the Thai Mex Cocina Food Truck. Although I frequently attended, worked, or volunteered at the myriad of year-around events throughout Southern California, this was my very first encounter with this meals on wheels which is highly odd. Thankfully, I tried all the other trucks, so this was a no-brainer. Would my cabeza go loco for two (actually... I didn't discriminate against any cuisine) of my favorite foods!? QUICK BIO "Thai-Mex Cocina specializes in doubly-authentic tacos, quesadillas, and Thai noodles, with your choice of spicy garlic shrimp, chicken satay, or crispy pork belly. With each bite full of fresh Thai flavor and zesty twang of Mexican spices and ingredients, you may never want to eat anywhere else again. Then whenever you're thirsty, treat yourself to a sweet cream horchata or a sweet creamy Thai iced tea. Both go perfectly with these beautiful fusion feasts." PURCHASE Thai Iced Tea w/Almond Milk & Boba ($5.00): First time with almond milk, this was too thin and preferred the thicker consistency I'm familiar with for nearly a lifetime. The boba had a nice chewiness and slight caramel taste but wished there were more, and there was more ice than I liked. It was still good, but was too watery and didn't feel like a meal in itself like other non-almond milk versions https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=y0NrO2N9ew_l7_N0QIVUPw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 3 Amigos Tacos - Spicy Garlic Shrimp, Chicken Satay, Crispy Pork ($13.00): I've made Thai-Mexican fusion food at home before but not this adventurous! So when they were promoting this https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jUKswZSkJW5GnEQOWgFt6g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, I was all in! At more than $4/taco, I was skeptical until I two-handed the spicy garlic shrimp taco loaded with medium-large plump succulent pieces. A mess to eat, but I lovingly sucked my fingers not to miss any of the seasonings and sauces. The chicken satay was another handful of inventive eating filled beyond the tortilla with a sprinkling of peanut sauce - yummy! And last but not least was the crispy pork - the hardest one to eat figuratively and literally, the tortilla proved worthless and best eaten with a fork or fingers. It was lechon-level where I wish I had rice - I wanted more https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=y2Hs4q3Mn11jmJJyOgLbeA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE A friendly woman greeted, took my order, and brought my food all in less than ten minutes (my boba drink was almost ready immediately). I never saw anyone else in the truck although I knew there were others. They got me in and out to which I loved them for it! PARKING (FREE) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever the event was held. In this case, the event took place at a museum adjacent to a zoo with plenty of free parking all around. Another option was a driving service like a bus, taxi, Lyft, or Uber (no nearby Metro train station) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient food truck with exterior food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3W_7PNnU1bsSuQB-8INP_w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and drink https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qPsHs4oqyK1QWUFHCpzaAw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw menus, order and pick up windows, an area for condiments, napkins, and utensils, no designated seating area, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while minimal electric street and truck lighting glowed at night. There were no TVs unless you considered the movie screen, but a DJ and live band played music in the background https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=95IeXm_wRUVxYvHaymLEOg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I would definitely fuse my tastebuds to the Thai-Mex Cocina Food Truck again if there wasn't a new truck to try. The menu was slim with only twelve main options with various protein options to choose from. I wasn't as much a fan of the boba drink (half-and-half was another option) but had to try it. As expected, the prices were on the higher end but not extravagant, but the portion size and taste made up for it. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $18.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.5 STARS read more

I ordered from this restaurant truck at the Long Beach Flight Festival. Short lines, 45 minute waits for food. The employee was promising 15 min waits, when told that the wait was 45 mins, since we all had been standing around for minimally 45 mins-- she lost her lid and became rude. Didn't expect that from her. Food was okay. Got me some tacos and they were fresh but needed more salsa. Tried the egg rolls and they were a little in the bland side, again probably needed more salsa. read more

I found this truck in front of the Bank of America bldg LA CBD. The combination of Thai & Mexican intrigued me. I chose the tacos with shrimp(very large and well seasoned) and the carne asada burrito(large and satisfying). Service was very fast even though it was lunch time and the lady was very professional. Prices are reasonable for the large, healthy portions. Highly recommended truck in DTLA CBD. read more

It's been a while since I was introduced to a new culinary concept that I so quickly bought into, but you can add Thai-Mexican to the list thanks to Thai Mex Cocina's excellent Chicken Satay Tacos. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? I visited Thai Mex Cocina during a browse of maybe thirty food trucks during Anime Expo 2018 in DTLA. Right from the get go I was impressed with how friendly the personable the Thai Mex Cocina folks were compared to the other trucks even amidst a 105 degree afternoon. From there, my food came out quick. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Thai Mex Cocina tacos are $4.00 each, which is certainly on the pricey side given they're not huge. Having said that, I'll admit that Chicken Satay is definitely a unique enough taco to command a price premium, so while it's a close one, I wasn't too put off paying $12.00 for three tacos. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I was skeptical, but these Chicken Satay Tacos were nothing short of excellent. The meat was out of this world and the tortillas fresh, with my only constructive criticism being that the tacos could have used another peripheral topping that equates to the slight crunch that you get from the onions on traditional Mexican street tacos. Single Star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? I love love love this concept, and am looking forward to trying Thai Mex's other tacos. Star. read more

Thai Mex Cocina - Chicken Satay Tacos (3): $12.00 - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tried a couple dishes so far; chicken burrito, pad see ew, and tostada salad. Overall the flavors are pretty bland, the burrito had plain white rice and the chicken had barely any flavor. The pad see ew looked good and had all the ingredients but also had no flavor. The tostada was better but was super oily. Not very impressed with the food, but their watermelon agua fresca was pretty good. Service was also nice, the lady was happy to answer my questions and recommend dishes. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend. read more

Like almost everyone, I ordered the 3 Amigos. Overall they were very good. Like a cheese plate, it is important to eat them in order. I started with the shrimp, which was a bit bland for me, and next had the fried pork, ending with the chicken satay. The last two are tied for my favorite, with a slight edge to the fried pork. I think next time I'll skip the shrimp taco. A word of caution for gringos like myself, the green Thai salsa is hot! I dipped a chip in it like I would with a typical salsa and am still sweating 5 minutes later. I hope they come around Culver City again soon so I can pay them another visit. read more

I ordered the Three Amigos - $11 3 street tacos: Chicken Satay w/ peanut sauce (favorite), Crispy pork w/ spicy thai sauce (2nd place - very yummy), Garlic shrimp (meh...shrimp needs help to be flavorful..not enough help here). I would revisit. read more

First of all Amy and Carlos were super sweet and nice, shoutout to them. I go up to the food trucks across from LACMA urban lights a couple times a week so every time I see a new one it arouses my interest. Thai/Mexican fusion is what they are going for and they've got it down. I tried the chicken satay tacos shrimp tacos, and the spring rolls. The chicken satay was loaded with chicken and their signature homemade sauce. The sauce is this Thai style peanut sauce that is Amazing! It kind of reminded me of pad Thai. The shrimp tacos had plump juicy perfectly grilled shrimp over some lettuce. Better than most shrimp tacos I've had. And finally the spring rolls, made with mushrooms, glass noodles, and carrots I believe. Lights and crispy on the outside and moist and savory on the inside, just phenomenal. Try them with their sweet and sour sauce :) ended off the meal with some coconut water and left very happy. These guys know their food!! read more

SLOW. The food was quite tasty but there were only two employees running the truck at a special event with 120 customers waiting to buy food (there were two food vendors this night). So it took 40 minutes in line then another 16 minutes to get the food. EXPENSIVE. I mean, it was tasty, and a fair size portion, but $25 is too pricey for six tacos (two orders of three tacos each). read more

I know! I know! WTH! Thai what! Mex what! Don't judge before you even try their tacos. LOL! I was like you... I hesitated to try it at first. I'm like WTH! I only have less than hour to have lunch and this food truck was parked close to work. There were hardly people in line. In my mind... "Oh no! RED FLAG!" But then again I gotta try it. I ordered their signature dish called, "Tres Amigos" (Spicy garlic shrimp, chicken satay and crispy pork). Oh my! Among the three my favorite was the crispy pork! Geez! i can eat that all day. Of course if u are watching ur cholesterol it's ok to eat this once in a while but whoa! They fried that bad boy to perfection! U can hear the crunch in every bite! It's crazy goo! It's perfect with ur Cerveza! read more

Modernbrucelee here! I gotta say Amy and Carlos are incredibly kind and humble people. I got the chicken satay tacos and veggie spring rolls . The chicken satay tacos are loaded with meat and the sweet peanut sauce on top is the perfect partner for such a wonderful filling taco 8.5/10 . The grilled shrimp taco was great too. The shrimp is perfectly cooked and seasoned. There's just something I love about proper grilled shrimp 9/10 . The veggie spring rolls are delicious I loved how the wrap is crispy on the outside and moist inside. The filling consists of mushrooms , glass noodles and carrots. The sweet sauce with it is similar to those that usually come with coconut shrimp and it was homemade!! Everything is home made including the complementary Thai salsa which is made with Thai chili peppers and their avocado salsa. This is a huge plus for me and Amy was kind enough to offer me a drink with my meal. I love good food coupled with genuine enthusiasm and that's what I got here. Thai Mex Cocina offers the best of both worlds . read more

Wow. Waited 30 minutes for a tiny $15 burrito. The woman who rang me up was nice, but super disappointed in food quality. Rice isn't Thai or Mexican rice, but something you'd get out of a cheap box at Ralph's. Which matters since most of the burrito was rice. Little else. Yuck. Go somewhere else. read more

Tried the spicy Thai fried rice - quantity and presentation is good. But lacks a bit in flavour. The basil leaves were not fresh. Also didn't like the deep fried tofu (oily and chewy). Can improve a bit on the flavour and quality of tofu. Thanks for the nice greeting :) read more

This was a good surprise! (3.5 star, 4/22/2018) We just had the Japanese Mexican cuisine a few days ago. Their truck food was definitely a good one to compare with. We ordered crispy pork tacos, Thai Mex burritos and Thai tea. We three of us all liked pork tacos over the burritos with chicken satay in sweet sauce though it was good as well. I liked that the Thai tea was not overly sweet which I really liked. I didn't know that the truck was usually in Santa Monica as I found them at this Thai New Year event in the Thai Town. I'll give another try if I see the truck in Santa Monica! read more

This is my favorite place. Amy is so friendly and warm. Whenever I go to the Santa Monica Tuesday Trucks and they are there, I don't have to think what I am ordering. My favorite is the Thai Basil spicy Chicken Quesadilla - it is just so good. I have always felt a warm welcome whenever I go to this truck, their drinks are good too. I cannot say enough good things about the owner and the food. If you haven't tried them out yet, you should as there is no substitute for good food. They are the perfect fusion food truck. I have also ordered noodles at the place and it is always good. I really like the green sauce and sour cream they give with the chips. If you ever get a chance to try them out, don't hesitate. They are literally the best :) read more

This was my first time trying this food truck, but its definitely one of the best food trucks I've been to! They have original fusion food, as well as classic Mexican and Thai dishes. I had the Pad Thai and a Thai Iced Tea with Boba. The portion size was generous and all the ingredients tasted very fresh. Extremely delicious and they have very friendly staff. Super affordable and fast service even though there was a lunch rush. 10/10 would come again! read more

I came to Santa Monica beach on Christmas Day and decided to try this place out. I ended up getting the spicy garlic shrimp tacos and their veggie rolls. My fiancé got one of their burritos and said that those were delicious too. The wait was about 15 minutes but well worth it. Only reason I'm giving them 4/5 stars is because the shrimps could have been made a bit juicier. All their sauces were tasty and the salsa sauce is spicy which I was not expecting. We got everything in a to go box and ate it by the shore. We paid $23 for all that food which is not bad considering we were at Santa Monica. read more

Food trucks are slow. This food truck is the slowest ever. It took 40 minutes to get our food. On the plus side it was good. Thai flavors in tacos and burritos. The spicy garlic shrimp was excellent. So was the crispy pork. The satay was a little dry, but the flavor was good and not peanut toy But unless you have a hour, take a pass read more

I love supporting small businesses, ESPECIALLY food trucks, but this one really missed the mark. The Pad Thai was flavorless. The pieces of chicken were as small as pencil erasers and not plentiful enough to get some in every bite. Finally, the ratio of bean sprouts was off, waaaay too many sprouts. Perhaps this contributed to the flavorless-ness. Most of the positive reviews appear to be about the Mexican dishes. Maybe that's where they excel. I'll never know because I won't be spending my money there again. read more

Got a text, no explanation, that the food show was a no-show about an hour after I ordered. Two hours after I was supposed to have gotten my order, I get another text saying my order is ready. I go out to where the truck was supposed to be--it isn't there. They may have a good reason not showing up, but they shouldn't jerk people around like this. read more

I had jury duty downtown and this seemed like the most interesting lunch option of the three food trucks in the plaza. I ordered an asada burritto and assumed this meant grilled steak. I was surprised to find the asada was actually ground beef. The burrito was of a decent size and weight, but the filling was predominately white rice. There were a few pinto beans, the ground beef (which was somewhat greasy), pico de gallo, onions and cilantro. I ended up opening my burrito and eating it with a fork to avoid the rice. I tried the salsa verde and the chipotle salsa - neither was very spicy. It wasn't terrible, but it reminded me of something my mom would make and try and pass off as Mexican food. read more

If you're looking for a hidden gem in the vast world that is the fusion food truck industry, this is the place to find. Quality food for gentle prices, and the best dang boba we've ever tried from a food truck. Thai Mex Cocina is a pleasant surprise. The people are wholesome and pure, and with infectious smiles and hidden lucky ketchup. We ordered one of their specials: a strange, but harmonious combination of quesadilla and burger. The quesadilla cheeseburger may sound unwelcome at first, but the medley of unexpectedly high quality beef, warm gooey cheese, and perfectly grilled tortilla will change your mind. Overall our experience at Thai Mex Cocina warrants more than five stars. The incredible service and worthwhile food left us impressed and hungry for more. If you ever get the chance, we highly recommend checking out this hole-in-the-wall truck. You won't be disappointed. read more

FINGER LICKIN' GOOD ! A MUST TRY !! This is our first try at Thai Mex Cocina and it wouldn't be our last! At first, I thought that they offer Thai and Mexican food (separately, as two choices of cuisine) but never expected that they would also served Thai AND Mexican food as a mixed fusion! What a lovely combination to begin with :) Had the crispy pork tacos and they were da bomb! The crispiness of the pork was just perfect and the spicy sauce served with the tacos was superb! The food was served fresh off the grill and the refreshments were nice and cold, totally cooled down the hot sunny day. Will totally come back for more. Great food, great people! read more

Three Amigos For Life! Always happy to see Thai Mex Cocina at the Abbot Kinney First Friday Food Truck Festival. Although there are over 40 trucks sometimes to choose from, this unassuming truck really stands out simply by making really good food along with a great presentation. This last month I had the Three Amigos Tacos and it was an amazing experience. I first ate the Shrimp Taco that I had paired with their green salsa and it was both crunchy and full of flavor. I next bit into the chicken satay and was taken completely by surprise. The peanut sauce was brilliant in its execution. It provided the base without overpowering everything else yet still standing out with just the perfect level of creamy peanut flavor. Now to the Crispy Pork with Thai salsa. I had unknowingly saved the best for last. I had anticipated disappointment expecting fatty elements usually found in most pork belly dishes and instead found a perfectly fried crispy pork with just the right balance of crispiness and softness with a nice kick of spicy and I happen to have added just a bit of green salsa. If you can't tell yet, I love food and this husband and wife team are a culinary force to be reckoned with. It is always a pleasure to find such quality food in a food truck environment. read more

We found Thai Mex Cocina at the Arts District Farmers Market and were instantly in love with chef Ammy. We were planning a wedding and asked them to cater it and they were more than excited to be part of our special day. We stuck with traditional Thai food for the wedding and it was beyond our expectations. Chef Ammy was so responsive, warm, accommodating and affordable. It's not traditional wedding food, but I would highly recommend them to cater any party. The chicken satay and peanut sauce is an absolute must!!!! read more

This truck reminds me of those great little hole in the wall family run restaurants that are light on marketing and decor but make great reasonably priced cuisine with something unique that you can't find anywhere else. The food is like standard inexpensive food truck Mexican fare but with a Thai twist. Sometimes such attempts at fusion feel like they're trying too hard to meld clashing flavors and ingredients, but Thai Mex Cocina does it in a subtle way that just works. The couple working the truck were really friendly. I had the chicken burrito which was like regular SoCal Mexican except for the use of satay chicken. The combo just worked well in a subtle way. Don't forget to try their "Thai salsa!" read more
