» Mexican cuisine used to be something you had to hunt down in Bangkok but recent years have seen more and more restos popping up all around. Now, it's not at all difficult to have your Mexican craving satiated and while I'm one of the people who's thankful it's so easily available, it's always the "usuals" you see when you're ordering Mexican: burritos, tacos, enchiladas -- the works. "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" as the saying goes, but La Cocina has dared to give it a bit of a twist.

Easy living
