By Price

Mexican food in Asia covers a wide spread of prices, from a quick birria taco at a mall counter to dinner on the 76th floor of a Bangkok tower. This section groups restaurants into three price bands so you can filter by budget before you look at location.

All bands are per person before drinks. Casual means under US$25 a head, and covers most taquerias and burrito bars, such as Lavi Taco Chinatown in Singapore or Cholos in Bangkok. Mid-Range runs from US$25 to US$50 and takes in sit-down cantinas like Lucha Loco, Motel Mexicola and Chicano. Upscale, US$50 to US$100, currently holds Nixta Mexican Grill & Bar in Singapore and Ojo in Bangkok.

Margaritas, mezcal and tequila can push a bill well past these figures, so allow extra if you plan to drink. Many cantinas run happy hours or Taco Tuesday deals that bring the cost down. Prices are a guide only and are checked against menus and recent sources.
