I just went there….
I grew up in California and have spent many months in Mexico, over the last 50 years….
Go try it again……cold food…..soggy carnitas……chips store bought……expensive for what they serve…..

Good service…..

In reply to Carlos Estevez. Hi Carlos, Yes, I've tried Alma Cafe several times. And three years ago, I would have said that Alma Cafe was the best thing to happen to Mexican food in Phnom Penh. But I was there last month and had the piratas platter and wasn't as impressed as I had been on previous visits. Because I don't live nearby, I can't come all the time and have never gotten to try your tacos. I wish you had a few permanent items on the menu -- like tacos -- so I could try them when I am in Phnom Penh. They look great in the photos on your Facebook page! Lina

Wow, remarkable review Lina, well done.
I do need to ask you a question, have you been to Alma Cafe?…maybe not?
Probably that’s why the sentences; never truly delivered?*or/ and until know” or even Mexicano is the best thing to happen to Mexican food in Phnom Penh? ..Really?

Yes, there are many Mexican restaurants in the city, but you can’t just closed an eye and not mentioned Alma Cafe, that after 3 years of being a very known establishment by its home style Mexican cuisine, cooked also by a Mexican its well known and loved by the expat community in the Phnom Penh. (you can do a survey on this)
The Mexicano, is doing a very good job with tis items (I tried them already, and appreciated each of them). The Mexicano is for sure another good addition to our options.
I would like to invite you for breakfast/ lunch or dinner at ALMA Cafe one of these days, so you can try their juicy tacos as well.

Adios!

I’ll agree. I’m from the US and lived in Asia for 15 years, while not an expert in Mexican cuisine, I can say this is the best Mexican that I’ve had in Asia. Yeah, it’s that good.
