Good place, worth coming for dinner, friendly staffs, cheap price. Btw, It could be better if the tables and chairs were arranged more logically.
NAM NAM BURRITO & TACOS - Mexican restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City
About This Place
Nam Nam Burrito & Tacos operates inside The Shack bar on Nguyễn Văn Hưởng, a setup that gives the whole experience a distinctly unhurried quality — guests eat surrounded by bar stools, cold beer at 35,000 VND a bottle, and occasional rain drifting past the open frontage.
The burritos are West coast in style rather than Tex-Mex: tightly wrapped, not heavy with sauce, built on fresh ingredients. The Cali burrito is the standout, cited by regulars as the best-value option of its kind in Thao Dien. Soft tacos and crispy tacos complete the main offerings, dressed with fresh cilantro, diced onions, lime, and a house-made salsa that brings real heat without drowning the other flavors.
Price is mentioned in almost every review. Guests who eat burritos regularly across Ho Chi Minh City consistently put this at one-half to one-third the cost of comparable options — and rank the quality above more expensive alternatives. Portions land as a proper meal rather than a light snack, which matters when the price is already this low.
Owner Phil draws repeated mentions for being attentive and genuinely invested in the guest experience. Staff offer recommendations and take time with first-timers. The atmosphere suits solo diners, couples, and small groups equally well, and takeaway orders are handled without friction.
Among the Western food options scattered across Thao Dien, Nam Nam competes on value and consistency rather than fitout or spectacle. Its 5.0 rating across 80 reviews reflects returning customers rather than first-visit enthusiasm. Saturday hours begin at 4:30 PM; all other days run from 11 AM to 11:30 PM.
Reviews
I must admit, I had some reservations about the Mexican food reviews here in Vietnam. However, after reading the reviews and seeing the food for myself, I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs and giving us recommendations which I actually like. My standards for Tex-Mex food are quite high, especially since I’m half Mexican and my partner is fully Mexican. Despite these expectations, I highly recommend this place. I even brought my picky-eater friend along to see if she’d enjoy it, and she ended up ordering more food than she could eat! I’d definitely go back
I had a great experience here. The dishes were flavorful and freshly prepared, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The owner was extremely friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about customers. It’s rare to find a place with both amazing food and such heartfelt service. Highly recommended!
Really good mexican food at relaly good price. I visited several times, never disappointed once.
I had a wonderful burrito sitting peacefully watching the drizzle outside. Considering that the price was 1/2-1/3 that of most other burritos I've had in HCMC it's pretty amazing that it was BY FAR the best. It's not a big sloppy mess, nor glooped-up texmex. This is more of a West coast style with fresh ingredients and authentic sides. The owner, Phil, is a gem. I really can't recommend it highly enough. It's located within, but distinct from, a bar with a relaxed atmosphere. You order your drinks (alcohol or, if you're like me, non-alcoholic) from the bar and the food from the kitchen separately. I live a few hours a way, so I wish I could support this business more often. But I'll be back. To anyone in the neighborhood, I urge you to come check it out and support the place! If we want these kinds of things available when we're feeling homesick, craving something in particular, whatever the reason it may be, we've got to make it worth their while to stay. It'll be worth your while to come and try it out. Halfway through my meal I bought a second to go. I'm not even sure why, I'm full! I guess I'll get up in the middle of the night and chow down. I forgot to take a pic while eating, so I'll include a picture of the takeaway. In case anyone is having trouble remembering what a burrito wrapped in paper looks like 😂
