The Hit List: New Mexico City Restaurants To Try Right Now - Mexico City - The Infatuation
"This Thai food stall, named in honor of a late chef and friend of the owners, is the city’s latest sensation—and it’s easy to understand why. The bold, zesty, herby flavors of their street food dishes are mesmerizing. Diners huddle around the stand—which is adorned with neon lights and an array of sauce bottles on the shelves—to eat tum khao pod, a spicy corn salad, and marinated spicy pork and coconut rice, and then counter the burn with a non-alcoholic Colima Cero beer (food trucks can’t serve liquor). Head to this Roma Norte spot before heading to one of the many bars in the area—just make sure to grab a picture inside the tuk tuk that’s usually parked in front before you leave." - guillaume guevara

The food was not bad but doesn’t really taste authentic
Quite delicious tho worthy of a try
There’s almost always a line there so be there early
Would be better if they offer some Thai drinks!

After 2 years living in Bangkok and tried more than 50 Khao Ka Moos, it was very emotional to find this place in CDMX. The Khao Ka Moo here is super tasty, btw, lacks authencity in the chilli sauce (super low acidity), the ratio of fat-meat in the pork (Khao Ka Moo in Thailand is way more fattier) and a more herbaceous kick in the pork sauce. The price is Roma Norte style = 180 pesos. For comparison, the average of a Khao Ka Moo in Bangkok is 50 pesos per plate. Overall, a super cool spot.

Food is very good. Service is the worst.
They make you feel like they are making you a favor by serving you food. Almost like if they are not aware this is a restaurant. I’d rather go somewhere else.
Also, I ordered two dishes just for me and ended up still hungry.

Wow — as good as the best Thai food I’ve had. It’s a mountain of flavor, on a relaxed corner with smiling people. We’ll be back very soon.

Honestly top 3 well spiced food I've had in mexico city I love how strong the flavor profiles were - I had the mushroom curry noodle soup and the salad. Both BOMB left a flavor in my mouth long after. Service was super chill and attentive.

Taste is amazing, an incredible option for Thai food in Mexico City! Customer service is great, everyone at the place is just very nice and kind, the place itself is a bit small but the food and its flavor are just superb!!! If you have the chance to go there, just go and eat 🤩🤩

My partner and I tried Lady Boy while visiting CDMX recently, we were very excited to try it! Luckily it was right near the hotel. The food that I tried was delicious and the people who worked there were prompt with taking our order and also translating (I'm learning Spanish) from Spanish to English. The food came out very quickly.
My only complaint is that Lady Boy seem to run out of ingredients very quickly. Lady Boy did not have many dishes available the first time we went. We did show up around 9:30pm so we came back closer to when it opened at 4:30pm the next day. I do not eat pork so my dishes had to be substituted with other options available, which the cooks happily accommodated. They had mushrooms available this time we went so I was able to try a few dishes. The next time we went, they did not have mushrooms. It would be great if they offered more vegetarian options and had more ingredients available. Other than that, 10/10 time -- the food was very good!

The food was FANTASTIC. Highly recommend the Khao Kha Moo. The vibes were also really great.
