There’s a Las Carretas branch in Ampang as well, a smaller but real chill place near houses. The waiters are well-treated by Ampang expats, so are friendly, funny and treat you well.

Actually doesn’t have anything to do with texas, just means americanised mexican food.

The base is still mexican food (so there will be common dishes), it’s just not very authentic, it’s adapted to the milder tastes that americans enjoy

UK it’s easier to find real mexican food than tex-mex, which is back to front.
