Nachos

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

Just went through their menu, massive indeed. I noticed the prices were a bit on the large size too?

I tried Carne Asada Burritos in San Diego many years ago and I have been meaning to try them again. At $7.45 for what is a filled wrap, it seems a bit on the lumpy side. No fries included either. Are they very big?

Yes, I usually find LP servings on the large side, but I'm a Brit, so that might be normal - if I were from Texas, I'd probably be disappointed?! :hattip:

I went there last night. It was probably the worst meal I have had here. Completely disgusting.

I was expecting something like this:

What I got was this pile of schlop. It was so hot, having been put in an oven to the point that everything inside boiled, the burrito returned to it's original soggy dough state, except the edges that went dry. Then it was covered with slimy stuff being passed off as cheese (maybe that got the Chernobyl treatment as well.) It took 10 minutes, and cut up, before the plate and food became safe to approach.

Then it really started to go downhill. It had no distinguishable flavours or textures or even seasoning, except for the beef which was tough and made a bee-line for every gap between my teeth. It was amazing that it was so bland and yet so disgusting, all at the same time. I managed to give a bit away, ate a few mouthfuls, then feigned being full. They wrapped it up for take away (didn't take the hint), so I gave it to a friend who seemed to like it.

Can tell from the little dish of home made hot sauce that it is definitely Lone Pine, not so sure about the meal - not something I've seen before... :o

Well, sorry for the shit recommendation in that case; they used be very, very, very good with my only complaints there being the wait staff being thick and semi-invisible - always had stellar food there before but that does look terrible

No manager to make a complaint to?

In my experience complaints are a waste of breath because it causes embarrassment to my group and the staff and time pressure made an alternative not viable (8:35pm)

It was ordered in advance (by a friend) and the 'wet' option was chosen on my behalf. I have no idea why you would take a good product and plaster it with plastic cheese and bake it into oblivion.

I'm going to make one mysefl at home. How hard can it be?
