Obviously decent foreign cuisine is not a huge draw for tourists, but for us locals we look for anything close.

As mentioned, La Monita, continues to get good reviews.
Interesting. Their menu photos look nothing like Chevys/Tex-Mex. At any rate, I cant see myself eating there as I can eat world class Mexican food any time at home in CA. I never tire of Thai food in Thailand. If I did, a shawarma (best I've ever had by far) from the guy on soi Nana would straighten me right out.
