Who would have thought that I would find a Chilean place in vientiane?
I haven’t had burrito for many months and was craving it. In Thailand, I just couldn’t really find it nor I was really looking for it. I mean, in thailand I went to Taco Bell and fuck that!
It was the most horrendous meal I’ve ever eaten in my life and overpriced too!
I don’t know why people go to Taco bell. Maybe it’s cheap in the states?
In Vientiane, while I was browsing for places to eat, I stumbled upon this place serving latin american and chilean cuisine which is apparently owned by Lao-Chileans. It took me about a couple days before eventually going there as I kept waking up at odd hours and kept missing the opening time as it closed at 6PM. When I went there, the place was empty but their display was also stacked with cakes and desserts.
I went through their menu and they sell not only taco but also burrito with various alcohol and some wine selections. They also play latin american music that just puts you in the mindset that you’re in Latam, dining in and will be served the best taco of your life. Well… it wasn’t entirely wrong.
Best and Cheapest Taco
They served a couple of tacos and it was extremely reasonable. It was served with a generous amount of meat, cheese and the fish taco was similar. For less than $2 you can get delicious taco. It was also the best I’ve eaten so far with fluffy bread and the salsa that was just right. The meat was also juicy and I came back home feeling so happy that I got to eat the best meal for cheap.
Classic Tres Leches
I ended the meal with another $1.5 slice of tres leches. It was a sugar bomb but it was amazing. The cake was sweet but also not overpowering sweet. Just the right amount of sweetness to wash down the savoury taste from tacos.
I left the place happy and was shocked to find how they managed to keep prices quite low. Anyway if you’re traveling to Laos, don’t forget to check out Bacan Cafe in Vientiane. This is their address: Rue Samsenthai, 100 03, Vientiane 01000
