How it all began..

It all began with a heartfelt, stomach-led desire and a simple (yet brilliant) idea in 2007. Greg Lange, who grew up eating tacos and enjoying top-of-the-line authentic foods and high-quality service in the USA, wanted to change the predominate word on the street (or internet blogs) that said, ‘There is no good Mexican food to be found in Bangkok’! “What? How is that possible?” Greg asked of his beloved city–the city that has the best of everything. After a detailed brainstorming session with his friends in Bangkok, Greg came to realize that the lack of good Mexican food in Bangkok boiled down to one simple thing; TORTILLAS. A natural entrepreneur owning other restaurants in Thailand, Greg decided that it was time to open a Mexican restaurant. Not just any tortilleria, but one that made real corn tortillas and not the tasteless and brittle harina (or processed corn flour) tortillas that are commonly found in the markets and used by many restaurants.

As he explains, “It’s like the difference between making instant mashed potatoes (just add water to a cup of dry flakes) and making mashed potatoes from real potatoes. The comparison in taste and quality; well, there really is no comparison”. So, the journey started. The Sunrise family now includes Chef Luis (from Colima, Mexico) and Chef Ezequiel (from Michoacán) and 186 other dedicated staff members that can be found at ten locations in Thailand. All of our dishes are inspired by recipes from our executive Mexican chefs Luis and Ezequiel and based on the food they prepares for their families in their own kitchens.
