Get ready to tantalize your taste buds as Topgolf Megacity collaborates with renowned chefs Gaby Espinosa Real and Megan Leon to bring you the “Taco Takeover” menu, a burst of Mexican street food.
After their successful stint at the recent Chilli Fest, which set gourmands’ taste buds on fire, the power-packed chef duo is back for another venture, aiming to reconnect food lovers with their Latin American roots through comforting home-cooked dishes.
Before forming this culinary alliance, chef Real made a name for herself on Bangkok’s food scene.
She contributed her talents to acclaimed chef Gaggan Anand’s relaxed Indian-Mexican fusion restaurant, Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh, the Michelin-starred Nahm, and the Michelin Guide-featured restaurant/gallery, Eat Me.
She later ventured independently into a series of pop-up dinners, collaborating with her fellow chef and food writer friend, Megan Leon.
Crafted exclusively for Topgolf, the “Taco Takeover” menu made its first appearance last week at Busted!, a local barbecue restaurant. Here, the guest chefs worked their magic for the third time, commandeering the food bus for a single evening.
But fear not if you missed out on this culinary extravaganza, because the original recipes left by chefs Real and Leon are now in the hands of Busted!’s own kitchen crew, led by Executive Chef Daniel Bucher, ready to be reproduced.
For appetizers, try the Chicken tinga tostada THB 220 – a crispy tortilla base smeared with black bean paste and heaped with shredded chicken cooked in adobo sauce, red onion slices and avocado, and topped with sour cream and smoked feta crumbles.
An array of delightful tacos cater to all taste preferences, each order consisting of two servings.
Expect traditional favourites that have earned their street food reputation, such as the Tacos Placeros for THB 240, which feature succulent grilled beef coupled with salsa taquera.
The Beef Birria tacos priced at THB 250 provide a flavourful explosion with their tender beef chuck and oxtail, slow-braised and smoked to perfection.
Accompany the marinated meat with a hearty splash of homemade salsa verde and rich consommé (beef broth) to achieve the ultimate bite.
The Mushroom cheese tacos which cost THB 220 boast a unique, cheesy appeal that distinguishes them from the rest of the items on the menu.
This exclusive vegan option combines grilled maitake, shimeji, and shitake mushrooms cooked with the Mexican herb, epazote.
A fusion of Mexican and Korean cuisine manifests in the Shrimp & Gochujang Tacos priced at THB 250. Savour crispy deep-fried shrimp paired with zesty gochujang mayo and coleslaw.
Another fusion masterpiece, the Chicharron Tacos for THB 230), will delight moo-grob enthusiasts.
Wrapped in a soft corn tortilla, juicy slices of crispy pork belly burst with flavor, enhanced by dashes of green guacamole salsa. The unexpected crunch of cactus strips in the salad add an exciting element.
Remember to leave space for the Tres leches cake priced at THB 120, a lush dessert made from evaporated, whole, and condensed milk, just as the name implies, crowned with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry slice.
Wrap up the meal by choosing from a range of Mexican-inspired cocktails, or opt for a party pack, which includes four tequila shots with lime and salt for THB 599, to get you into the swing of things.
The “Taco Takeover” menu will continue till Aug 30th. Make your way to Topgolf Megacity to take advantage of an ongoing summer offer: a hitting bay that accommodates up to six people, priced at THB 550 per hour from Monday to Thursday.
