Mae Chan Restaurants

[ianyonok]

Rogelio's Mexican restaurant in Mae Chan. Right on highway 1 next to Mae Chan Hospital.
It's been open about 6 months and serves real Mexican food, as Rogelio is a real Mexican chef.
With his Thai wife, they lived in the US for a long time.

The food is super fresh, as Rogelio makes his own sour cream and fresh torillas etc. In fact all the food is freshly made on the premises by him.

Closed on a Sunday and they don't have an alcohol licence yet. I have been twice in a few days, even though it's a 60klm round trip. Highly recommended and fair prices. Great to eat this cuisine made fresh and you can really taste that freshness.

Quesadilos

and Enchiladas

The Tortilla Bites have become a favourite there. Perfect large mouthfuls of fresh home made tortillas with beef and beans etc filling. Delicious....

Rogelios is at; N 20 deg 08.038'. E 099 deg 51.654'.

Panor Coffee.

An outstanding open-air/aircon coffeeshop - restaurant.

A varied menu, lots of Thai and farang food options. Excellent coffee.

I often go for brunch.

A tasty tuna and cheese croissant set.

A fabulous line-up of happy, friendly staff.

Highly recommended. I always linger longer than planned.

Pizza Corner.

A gem of a small, cosy, home restaurant.

An amazing place with an incredible variety of farang foods.

The day's specials.

I was staggered by the menu and cheap prices.

And there's a page two!

The owmer chef has worked at 5-star hotels in Pattaya. Phuket and Bangkok for decades.

No alcohol sold on the premises, but my date was clever enough to contact Grab to deliver some beverages while we were waiting for our food.

The old gtr fellah had a salmon steak with pumpkin sauce. Something I never expected in the wilds of Mae Chan city!

I also weakened for some Italian cheese bread for Luca @ 129 baht.

Also of note is that the owner chef's wife is from Phayaphrai and they both generally go to all the ethnic festivals out there.
They have a car but prefer to each ride out on their motorbikes!
A truly wonderful friendly couple who conduct their business with passion and lots of TLC.
Swing by often and support them anytime after 11am, with the kitchen closing at 8.30pm.

Lao Na Mae Chan

A nice open air pub & restaurant on the wet bypass out of the "back" of Mae Chan. Open only 3 months - the new kid on the block.

No delinquent teenagers, only mature adults, chilling out in the night.

Probably good food as I noticed many tables eating a meal, not just snacking while drinking.

A Monday night & good music, a singer with a fine strong voice that I admired for 2 hours.

Sufficiently impressed I was that I asked him if he worked / sang in any other places around Mae Chan.

No, I only sing here, and on Friday - Saturday nights from 9.30-11.30PM, was the reply.
I'm only here tonight - Monday - to replace the regular artist who is off sick.
Pleased I was to get the relevant info & mentioned it to my date that perhaps we can come back here Friday-Saturday nights to listen to him sing.
No, no! That's not a man, that is a woman, a tomboy.!!
Gobsmacked and disbelieving I was, really????
Yes and I confirmed it with the waitress serving.
Yep that's not a man, but a Tom.
OMG, even with my experience you still get fooled.

Check out the Lao Na Mae Chan for yourselves on a Friday - Saturday nights.
It is a cool place to hang out.
