Food is poor, avoid this pretend Mexican restaurant.

Thanks. Shame I like Mexican food. Is there any to be had in Hua Hin?

I agree JW but the guy is still trying and he open to comments all the time

bit harsh JW...as richard says the owner is trying very hard to do the right thing, I ate there with a group of friends and we had no complaints.
girls need shorter skirts though

Yeah, that's the thing to be concerned about in a restaurant. Who cares about food, service or price as long as skirts are short?

Thanks for the report JW, I had actually been thinking of trying them out & seeing as I don't get out vey often, I'd hate to be disappointed with the food. Guess I'll stick to making my own

Was just going to ask the same thing, never heard of the place but would give it a try.

Which helps confirm the theory "there is no such thing as bad publicity!"

I think it may be past the Sofitel going south towards the main road..used to be Papa Johns ?...maybe I got it wrong but I think there is a French restaurant opposite it...someone may know better...

Thanks for the 'Bad Publicity' of this place. Didn't even know of it until this thread and shall now check it out to make my own judgement.

As I don't own either a food serving bar or a restaurant I'm sure I cannot be that dissapointed as there is no comparison with the food I sell.

Aehhh I think the Name doesn't sound very Mexican, or Sspanish @ all! Where is this eatery located in Hua Hin? I want to review the Food for myself before judging him. If I commend him for taking risk of opening a Mexican Restaurant @ Hua Hin our Chill Out town or condemn him for making a big culinary mistake will come after my first visit there

Hmm Lets see if I can persuade my Mexican Friend in California to emmigrate to Thailland? But chances are Slim!

Surprised no one has mentioned "El Murphy's" - a Mexican restaurant with an Irish owner across from the Limelight. Or is it an Irish bar serving Mexican food?

Post by **richard** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 2:25 am

It's old name was Papa Johns

El Murphys I've heard is dodgy

At the the end of the day go try and then feed back to the forum
