Travel Cafe Eat Drink - Malaysia & Asia Curios to checkout this eatery when i was walking pass and got attracted by the aroma from the kitchen exhaust fan ! It turn out to be a small Mexican canteena. Everything is freshly cooked upon order, and food is seriously great. The menu is straightforward and the waitering staff cooks too. l

**Thanks to Pablo'$ for prompt corrections to my review, which are incorporated below!** Fusion taco place integrating Mexican tacos with Eastern (primarily Indian?) flavors. They put their Pablo'$ sauce on just about everything, so how you feel about this sauce will impact greatly what you think of their food. Cash and e-wallet payment accepted. The Ya Rou smoked duck option is interesting but also very salty. Perhaps more of the red cabbage and pico de gallo could help offset this a bit. The Prawnstar tacos were good. The prawns are delicately flavored but still end up the prominent flavor profile. Again, more of the red cabbage and pico would have filled the taco out a bit more. Also, these are not American-style tacos where there are mounds of cheese. The cheese is (appropriately!) one piece of the whole assembly, and not the most dominant one. You get two tacos per order. No sides. The meat in each taco dominates the flavor profile which is good - much better than the meat getting lost in everything else. However the sauce is also a strong presence as well so, again, how you feel about the sauce (Japanese mayo base) I'd like to come back and try their Holy Duck option as I think the spice would help cut the smokiness of the duck. I also tried their Dirty Nachos Classic. Tasty. The chips are seasoned well and also toasted. Again, their special sauce dominates and other ingredients definitely take a back seat on the nachos both in quantity and in impacting the overall flavor profile. Size is good for one hungry person or to share with someone else along with tacos. I liked the smaller serving bowl so the nachos are built up instead of out. However this means that some of the chips below aren't going to have the toppings/sauce on them. Drinks are canned sodas & teas. Service is pretty quick. Staff is friendly in a typically Asian manner (if you need something, wave them down, otherwise they assume all is well!). Grill staff downstairs was particularly friendly in greeting and wishing us well when we finished. Great AC upstairs and they are still working on decor up there so it's a relatively basic space. Not uncomfortable, just not where they intend it to be just yet. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Price per person: RM 40–60 Recommended dishes: Dirty Nacho, Prawn Star Tacos Vegetarian options: Dirty Nachos B40 (no meat), Queso taco. Dietary restrictions: Inquire carefully. Parking space: Difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid parking lot Parking: Find a local parking lot nearby. Kid-friendliness: Kid & family-friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: First floor seating yes. Second floor seating accessible only via stairs.

Hi, Paul! We do not accept card payments. No previous ownership, same owners for the past 5 years. Previously we served lassis because we shared space with an Indian restaurant ( temporary location ) Appreciate the feedback on our “Ya Rou” taco, will work on it. The base of our Pablo’$ sauce is Japanese mayo which isn’t actually sweet, we’re still figuring out why it’s sweet to you. Apologies regarding that. We’re also working out on our deco upstairs, thanks for the feedback! See you again
